Just because the overall company is doing well doesn't mean every division is.And yet Sony announced record profits in February, up 26%.
If you’re going to screw us, at least be honest about it.
Sony thanks you for your cooperation, and hopes that you will buy more enhanced PS4 games for $10 more.I'm surprised they didn't raise the prices sooner honestly. If you think this is corporate greed, you're naive.
I was ready to wait, figuring I’d be able to get one next year. I’m satisfied with my purchase and at least with GT7, it feels like a different game. Not just enhanced.Still enjoying my PS4 Pro and wondering if I’ll even bother with a PS5.
Going from a Pro there's probably not a huge difference, but from my old base 4 to the 5 was night and day - so much quieter and PS4 games look & run a whole lot better. No frame drops, improved resolution and other visual effects (if the game had a Pro enhancement). The controller is the big thing for me - some don't like it for the size or the continued "wrong" stick placement but for me it's the best first party pad I've used.I’d be upset if I was in one of the affected territories, and if I actually had a reason to upgrade to a PS5 from my base PS4. But I really don’t understand why I’d want a PS5 for me, personally.
It might have something to do with the Switch being in production since 2017 and Microsoft allowing Xbox to float this entirely unsustainable business model of Game Pass. I doubt MS cares at all if their hardware is profitable.1.8 billion still sounds like they are doing good, especially when one of the stated reasons it was slashed was the bidding war Sony seemingly got in with itself with Bungie.
It's definitely better than the equivalent "Playstation made 1.8 billion but the entire rest of the company is lighting money on fire" fr a decade or so ago, too.

Am I correct in guessing that you live in the region where Sony actually has strong competition and thus (somehow) isn't affected by the chip shortages, shipping costs and sky high inflation (like the other two players in the market also aren't anywhere) in the world, apparently)?
