A Short Analysis On Stellar Blade:
I would like to take the time to show that this is another one of my well earned "I Told You So" Moments
A year and four months ago I said that based on the data model I was using and my projections, Stellar Blade (A Brand New Exclusive IP) would sell more than Bayonetta 3 (A Well Established IP) despite the PS5 having less sales than the Switch. A statement that at the time no one thought could be true and for which I was given a lot of pushback.

Fun fact! Not only is this game a Sweet Baby game its original pitch was altered by Kim Belair the co-founder of SBI.
The team behind this game was not okay with the change in direction & it led to many devs leaving. The game was simply changed for DEI purposes.

Addendum 24:
The Likelyhood of them going for Take 2 has increased. However, If I worked as an adviser to Sony I would advise them that if the merger goes through their best option to compete at closest to 1 to 1 parity would be EA
Battlefield vs Call of Duty
Mass Effect vs Starfield & OuterWorlds
Dragon Age vs Elder Scrolls
Apex & Titanfall vs Overwatch
Sims vs King
Additionally, EA's Sports games are the only games that sell almost as many copies each year as Call of Duty Does
Unfortunately, industry consolidation is unavoidable now it's not the world I wanted but it is what it is. Sony will have to acquire a publisher in order to compete and adhere to their feduciary requirement to their investors to grow or at least maintain their income and market position.
It would also be in Sony's best interest to acquire Square Enix and Capcom because it would solidify the Japanese Market and give them a bunch of mascot characters that makes it possible for them to be more like Nintendo in relying on their own IP.
