>but sony is reinvesting the money
anon these games cost hundreds of millions of dollars and have to sell tens of millions of copies at $60/$70/$80 to *break even* let alone turn a profit

there is a reason playstation is dying, anon

playstation killed its japanese developers and astro-bot was made by the five guys and a houseplant allowed to live, anon

it's really stupid to budget out games in the hundreds of millions of dollars for exactly the reasons that playstation and xbox are dying, anon

saying you only care about the end result doesn't make any sense when these companies are on self destructive, inwards collapsing cycles of spending way too much fucking money, anon

they produce AAA slop, anon, it doesn't matter that astro-bot got "more money" than pokemon does, astro-bot doesn't have anything to fucking show for it but being a mausoleum of remembering when playstation actually had IPs
