Was on the PT board
https://www.ign.com/articles/sony-announces-significant-playstation-layoffs-affecting-900-staff-london-studio-to-close
MSFT laid off 1,900 last year, but that was post Activision Blizzard deal of $69 billion.
Sony does not have plan, outside of moving consoles. That is their lack of vision creeping in. Xbox hate is strong here, but at least they have long term vision.

Sony has announced a significant round of layoffs affecting around 900 staff, or about 8% of its global PlayStation workforce.
The layoffs affect a number of PlayStation studios, including Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Guerrilla, Firesprite, and, most significantly, PlayStation's London studio.

Earlier this month, Sony admitted sales of the PS5 during the crucial holiday quarter had failed to meet expectations. Sony had set an ambitious target of 25 million PS5s sold during the current financial year ending March 31, 2024, but revised its forecast down to 21 million after Q4 sales came in lower than expected despite aggressive promotions. Sony sold 8.2 million PS5s during the third quarter ending December 31, 2023, up from 7.1 million sold during the same quarter the previous year, but that was not enough to hit Sony’s lofty target.
Elsewhere, Sony has said it will not release any major existing PlayStation franchise games before April 2025, ruling out big sequels in the God of War and Spider-Man franchises any time soon.

The moment that Microsoft gets their cloud gaming stable and on all smart TVs as a free download, it’s game over.

In the past 10 years that studio has worked on PS4 and PSVR games. No PS5 or PSVR 2 games. It really sucks for the people who worked there, but it's not surprising that Sony would close down the studio.

I mean, we can. Kind of a weird question.

I'm still happily playing PS4 and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. PS5 doesn't have many big exclusives. The only one I can think of right now I would want to play is Spiderman 2.

Honest question and the same can be said for (insert big name corp), but whats the last thing they pushed out under their own name..
Most games these days are churned out by third parties

Make more games like FF7 rebirth, Helldivers, and Stellar blade and I have a feeling it’ll be ok. Stop making women ugly as frick and stories where a tranny gets arse fricked in a house boat by her ex with a 8 month preggo gf of own. It’s also almost 100% a good bit of these are DEI hires and problem makers. If Sony does the former they willl be swimming in money. Did Sp2 need trans flags and side quest where we played as a deaf girl? No. Heads gottaroll
I hate the console wars jerk offs but I mostly play Sony and man they’ve been massively saved by 2nd 3rd party and Indy this gen. Now talking about ps5 is in “later stages” of cycle. Yup frick yourself pull that I’ll buy a max pc available at the time and just suffer waits for final fantasy.
