We've seen plenty of GAAS games die recently (Avengers, Babylon's Fall, Hyenas before it even released, Knockout City, Rumbleverse), which suggests we're hitting a saturation point with these games. Lots of change happening in the industry, it's just happening slowly.Ĭlick to shrink.Easier said than done though.

Will PlayStation be more diversified like Xbox? Will Xbox still be equally as invested in console? Is Nintendo investing in more expensive software and therefore seeking more revenue channels. The real question is where we will be in 5-10 years. PS is crushing console sales, Nintendo will have Switch 2 soon and Xbox is now releasing new and diverse games that are of a good quality bar. More importantly, nothing is changing in the next few years.

Likewise, clearly Xbox wants to sell more consoles, but they aren't losing their Xbox One fanbase and on top of that they are getting lots of growth on PC and now lots on PC. I can see some people suddenly realising that commenting on the console sales thread every month isn't the doom bell they think it is.Ĭlearly PS are doing pretty well, but it's risky and they know that which is why they want some GAAS safety nets. There's a pretty interesting dynamic going on across the internet with this leak people are now giving Xbox's strategy more credit. Their quality is generally never an issue, but their overall 1st party pipeline is poor, short-term.Īnd give Rockstar whatever they want for GTA 6 marketing rights. 'All' they need to do is focus on their strengths, release 1st party games on Steam, day and date/within 6 months, focus on a smaller smattering of GAAS, but also think about other non GAAS multi-player games. Luckily (well, by their strong previous efforts really) they can absorb it better than MS because they screwed up whilst market leader, which buys a lot of customer patience. Just like it's taken MS YEARS to recover from the catastrophe of late 360/Early XBO, Sony will take a while to fully recover from this, in terms of gaming pipeline. Now Ryan is going, all of these GAAS titles are getting shelved, one by one. I don't think they ever really wanted to do it in the first place. It certainly feels like ND have made the cancellation decision knowing Ryan was out the door, basically. Their PR spin of their recent pivot was clever but they cannot act surprised that to be a GAAS game in today's market would have involved turning a massive chunk/the whole studio into a GAAS studio. Naughty Dog has lost YEARS of dev time on Factions. No doubt for justifiable reasons, but they have tried to aggressively pivot into the GAAS model with far too many games/studios. He took the company that Layden built and tried to change it into something completely different. The sales success and early PS5 gen games were all green lit under Layden. I don't think it can be underestimated the medium term harm that Jim Ryan has done to PlayStation.
