Sony has just held their 2025 Business Segment Briefing and this is where the SIE President & CEO talked about a number of important topics. Surprisingly, we got some (albeit PR) answers regarding PlayStation 6, cloud gaming, PS Plus price increases, how the company feels about the Nintendo Switch 2, AND how they feel about Microsoft's recent shift in strategy. It's an enlightening look into where the PlayStation business is right now, and where it's going. Oh and yeah they also acknowledged the Concord failure. A lot going on here folks, Sony is owning up to a lot. And you know what, I'm here to listen and critique as I often do. *Begins sipping tea with pinkie raised.
