Interesting choice to compare Sony. I would prefer to compare them to other successful companies like Valve but you went for one of the most greedy companies in the world to give them justice. Nice!
Don’t need your lessons in business honestly. My comments were purely on their choice to move their business model from what they were doing in the past to what all greedy companies do today. And that is facts. It turns out that going this way...
Sure, but Sony was supposed to do things differently. Even with the PS3, which was very expensive, they were taking a big loss for every console they were selling, but they were getting their profit from games. This mindset belongs to the past now
Before the trade wars, they have said that they get a profit from every PS5 hardware. Also remember when they recently announced that PS5 is their most profitable console generation? They could avoid this but nowadays they are li...
It is partly Sony’s greed. Remember some months ago boasting of how profitable this generation is for them? Maybe they could absorb this 50$ increase with all this profit they are boasting but no. They care for their investors only.
Don’t get me wrong. Microsoft is doing exactly the same thing. I’m only saying this is not only because of the trade taxes. It’s corporate greed at its worst
They had to held out as long as they could to avoid getting eclipsed by the expected strong sales of the Nintendo Switch2. They even had temporary price cut in some markets and I think it worked well for them. Switch2 sales were very strong but PS5 was performing decent, even though much lower than last year. Now I expect a bigger drop in sales for PS5 and maybe Sony change their mind.
Was it really inevitable? I mean I understand the trade taxes affecting everyone but I find it too greedy of them (and Microsoft) only just recently boasting how strong and profitable their business is, and then when an extra cost occurs to them, they pass it on to their customers because they want to keep boasting how profitable they are to their investors. No, nope, never. Let them have a big drop in sales figures and then they’ll reconsider.
