I'm all for innovation, especially in the controller space, but how does this help with accessibility?

Yes, folks with disabilities should feel empowered to game, rather than feel left out of the best hobby, but how does a circular controller that doesn't have enough slots to house all of the possible PS5 controller inputs, coupled with a free standing arcade joystick, help someone who has a physical disability?

It looks harder to hold, harder to use, you'll be missing at least 4 inputs, and you still need to have 2 working arms and hands. If you wanted a controller that could be manipulated by feet, this might be the worst option. I've seen that they recommend getting 2 of these things to use as a single controller, thereby regaining all PS5 inputs, but that still means you need 2 fully dextrous hands.

A better device might utilize refined motion controls to help folks with manual disabilities, rather than just change the location of the buttons to a more unintuitive configuration.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
