This month is the culmination of #PlayStation Hubris.
They thought their biggest fans would happily surrender game ownership, they thought their studios could successfully milk the same gameplay loops endlessly, and they thought #XBOX would surrender. They were very wrong.👇
Just one year ago people were talking about how XBOX was "on life support", and all #PS6 had to do to succeed was "not f*** it up". And btw, the people who said that last year were right. However, it's now just one year later, and it's clear that Sony did not take that advice.🤦
PlayStation's twitter account is cooked, their relationships with partners are straining, they can't seem to launch successful exclusives anymore, and they've lost "the next MGS" to a resurgent XBOX.
What a difference a year can make. Heads must roll.
As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in XBOX a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.
In the US, just 22% of Resident Evil Requiem's sales were physical (to end of June), but it was over 55% physial in France, 51% in Japan, 43% in Australia and 40% in UK. This is according to Ampere. Not all markets are built the same when it comes to the digital transition
@AckTeacher@Gr33nOnions Since when do insurance-denying corpos promote a high trust society? The man in question is part of the system that has eroded trust in that very said system
I don’t usually get involved in political stuff, but some things need to be said.
Spider-Man and Stan Lee would never support ICE.
Not now. Not ever.
Fuck ICE. 🖕
