Sony is an American company now. They'd rather spend their time making bland open worlds or corridor simulators, thinking there's a market for lesbians and trannies just because they're loud on Twitter.

These lines cut through the obvious PR BS, as if we needed that validation:

[...] it was reported that Sony sold less than one million PlayStation units in Japan throughout all of 2020. It would be the console lines worst sales numbers since it launched in 1994.

[Hulst] talks about Japan being part of Sony’s success in the past tense. It’s not future focused.

In other words Sony will be gone soon, there’s no reason for them to exist if Nintendo takes over the Japanese market.

The Priesthood of the Woke Doctrine is in decline, their power waning due to the severe enforcement of their canon and punishment of heresy. All the sisterhood can do is watch in horror as more and more former adherents turn against Intersectionalism, their temples empty, their burned cities abandoned. Sony, now alone, the once greatest of the Virtuous Signalers, looks to pay the highest price for their rampant zealotry. In a bid to stave off what appears to be the inevitable, the matriarch of their remaining divisions, with fire in Xir eyes, calls for the greatest of all purges, the Cancel Culture to begin. Leave no Neo-Tokyo untouched!

Playstation's only advantage over xbox was its japanese games that were exclusives lol. Might as well just get xbox now, or better yet, get a pc.

I guess its a signal that they will just make shitty woke games with ugly or avg looking chars.

Sony's exclusives will eventually make it to Steam anyways and all Xbox "exclusives" available on PC, too, PC is the way to go.

Well, these guys in charge are going to be fired if Sony is still majority Japanese owned.

The executives and board of directors can probably be sold a lie since all they see in western media is woke bullshit and all they care about is money.

But when these losers in california lose the company the Japanese market, the market that has been Sony's safe haven that allowed them to beat Microsoft every generation even when they fucked up, the wokesters will be gone.

At least the PS2 is so ubiquitous and ran for so long you can find cheap ones hiding in random corners to replace it.

It truly was a mighty time for them, and they never reached such heights again. And that was with their fiercest competition.

Mine started eating cds at some point. Thankfully it was easy enough to DIY a fix. That's as far as I know its only real hardware oversight. My greatest accomplishment as a teen back in the day.

Sony, you killed Japan Studio who made some pretty unique (and most importantly, fun) games like Puppeteer and Gravity Rush. Enjoy making your cookie cutter 3rd person action adventure with stealth elements games.

Yeah but Skyrim sold a lot of units, so every single game should be like that for the next 25 years.

Ugh my only reason to want to buy a playstation is JRPGs and anime waifus.

I just want to play games, Sony, please fire all of these guys for losing your japanese sales.

You're going to lose the American sales too, gamers are males age 0+, not social justice warriors.
