It's possible SNY thinks the amount extra that they would 'have' to charge would be too much and that (physical) gamers would freak out about it. In that case, this move could make perfect sense from another angle. Pretend to take away physical to get (those) gamers to show how badly they want it to continue, and then do a (partial) reversal after a while (so it doesn't seem planned), and explain if they're going to continue making discs, that the physical game prices need to rise. This would make me assume it's not just $10 more per copy. I'd say at least $20-$25 more per copy if not higher. If SNY initially came out and said physical game prices are going up $25 per copy (or more) then it would look really bad on them, especially with everything (negative) going on recently. This way SNY would kinda seem like a good guy, or at least less of a bad guy, for keeping physical going against their interests. Sort of another "for the players" move. Especially if XB is going full digital with Helix. |
that seems like a lot of work. do you think they laid out this plan to their investors? |
Do you think they've laid out their exact plans for PS6 to their investors?
Investors don't really care how it's done for the most part. All they really care about is that the number is higher this quarter vs last quarter.
PS1 - ! - We must build a console that can alert our enemies.
PS2 - @- We must build a console that offers online living room gaming.
PS3 - #- We must build a console that’s powerful, social, costs and does everything.
PS4 - $- We must build a console that’s affordable, charges for services, and pumps out exclusives.
PRO -%-We must build a console that's VR ready, checkerboard upscales, and sells but a fraction of the money printer.
PS5 - ^ -We must build a console that’s a generational cross product, with RT lighting, and price hiking.
PRO -&- We must build a console that Super Res upscales and continues the cost increases.
