Playstation took a massive revenue hit from 2020 to 2021. From 17b USD to just barely 15.5b.
The pandemic was not to blame. Nintendo went from 10.8b to 12b in the same period.
Oh, and the fucking Playstation 5 came out during this period, and missed its sales mark by three million units. They lost revenue during a major console launch.
So what did Sony do that Nintendon't? Have a snarky social media asshole saying "ummmm excuse me but all lives can't matter until black lives matter brayden" while America was burning, that's what. It made a lot of people very, very unhappy with them, myself included. They sided with violent, racist terrorists like cowards, and they suffered as a result. I personally canceled my PS+ subscription immediately and haven't bought a PS5, nor do I plan to.
My guess is the CEO realized after that little stunt that game companies are better off shutting the fuck up and making games instead of preaching.

Hmmm. Maybe. Or maybe the difference between Nintendo and Sony lies in that stationary consoles are an obsolete concept. Additionally, the PS5 hasn't had particularly great games, as far as I know.
Xbox also had a record year in 2021. Sony (Playstation in particular, but you know what I mean) was the only one of the three to not only not grow, but lose a significant amount of money.
Xbox cucked too, but Sony was worse, and became more of a meme because of it.
I guess it doesn't have to be stuck to the wall all the time, but there's a performance advantage to running off the mains power, still, and that doesn't seem like it's going away soon.
