  It’s kind of insane Sony was blindsided by Concord’s failure. Literally the first time I saw the first teaser/trailer I was like oh that’s trash and it’s gonna flop lol. And I’m a lifelong PS guy, so this isn’t coming from a Sony hater. They are truly lost rn

  This will go down as the most mismanaged generation of gaming.

  So they are reverting back to PS3 era Sony where they think they are untouchable and that they could get away with anything

  -Closed Japan Studio<br>-Astroturfing Horizon <br>-Ignores the stack of older IP in favor of remaking TLoU another 10 times or so<br>-Glorified their American western studios while taking cuts at the European/Asian side of the Playstation brand<br>-Censorship <br>-Drove up the prices on everything to make it some kind of luxury brand<br>-No more smaller experimental projects or IP, only big budget cinematic slop or failing live services<br>I had every Playstation console since the late 90s and I stopped supporting the brand by the late era of the PS4. I&apos;m glad I dipped before the PS5 hit and people are finally seeing the consequences of everything they&apos;ve been pushing for years. It&apos;s tragic to see things play out like this and with them trying to imply the PS5 is nearing its end/midlife with almost no games to show and building resentment towards their brand, they&apos;re going to remember how hard the fall was from the PS2 to PS3 but tenfold.

  I&apos;m always shocked thinking about how we should be basically towards the end of this console generation now, like holy shit did it ever even start?

  Hermen definitely needs to go. They brought back Nao Higo to PlayStation this year since he left in early PSP/PS3 era. Nao Higo was a producer at Santa Monica Studio responsible for localization of Japan Studio games. There are some old interviews with him from PS2 and PSP era like Hot Shots Golf 4, Rogue Galaxy and LocoRoco by PlayStation Underground.<br><br>He is a better fit to manage PS Studios than Hermen Hulst who only managed Guerrilla Games and not different type of games especially with Japanese creators.

  I Have Always Said That After the Concord Debacle, HERMAN HULST SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED!!! I would have fired that Herman, the day that it was announced that Concord only sold 25,000 copies! Plus I would have fired him after he said &quot;Concord Was His Dream Game!!!&quot; Obviously Herman Hulst Is Way Over His Head When It Comes To Any Management Skills, He Is Incompetent, and I Still Believe He Needs To Be Fired!!!!

  They started the PS5 generation strong, but just had way too little planned for the rest of it.<br><br>The closure of Japan Studio is one of the worst days in Playstation history, and I&apos;m anxious about Media Molecule.

  Just remember that Microsoft put out more PS5 games this year than Sony themselves did. &nbsp;That’s how bad it’s gotten.
