Sad, seems to me that the competition are spending billions to try and build up a strong 1st party and PlayStation are taking what they have had for granted.
Of course the people at the top now didn't build what is there today, so maybe they just don't appreciate it.
That Japanese heritage has been absolutely essential in building the PlayStation identity, they even use that Japanese voice to announce 'PlayStation' on each advertisement.
I expected Sony to invest MORE in Japanese development, not let things go to this point.....
Variety is extremely important. Why has Sony not bought Kadokawa out yet...it fits perfectly with their aspirations in Anime and gaming..... and would garner them one of the most influential studios in the industry right now.....
Sony have left every massive opportunity pass them by the the region..... Atlus, Capcom, From and Gen Design could all be under the PlayStation Studios right now. But Sony's lack of interest is really disappointing.
Apparently Xbox value their customers enough to spend over 10 billion on new studios but Sony can barely scrape 300 million for one of the best studios around that have worked with them for over 20 years. FFS.
Overall, between Japan Studio, Bend, San Diego Studio and talent being poached by The Initiative from ND and SMS....... it seems like Sony is really not doing a good job of preserving or building on what they have.
Not ONE positive story about PS Studios in a very long time...... Not ONE!
Rebranding from WWS to PS Studios must have really taken it out of them.....
