As dictator of Yara, Anton Castillo is intent on restoring his nation back to its former. TLDR: If Sony could make a fuckton of PS5s and make a profit on each one - they would've just done that and continued with the ecosystem model instead of diversifying to PC. Far Cry 6 thrusts players into the adrenaline-filled world of a modern-day guerrilla revolution. They can entice a completely new userbase to their ecosystem (if they keep future first party games exclusive for a bit after release) and they can make money on shit that they already own and it sitting gathering dust. Hence, the pivot to PC games makes sense to them. With the inherent loss of making a PS5, the supply chain issues (and further inflating parts cost) and the fact that any PS5 they make will likely be picked up by a PS4 owner rather than a fresh customer (since a fresh customer who doesn't currently own any PS gamee is what would signal userbase/ecosystem growth) - it doesn't make sense for Sony to burn through cash and make a fuckton of PS5s for massive costs, especially since they will expect cost of parts to go down in coming years.īut they still need to make their bottom line to continue growing. But this model only works if they can sell a LOT of consoles. They sell x number of consoles and project how many games they will likely sell to balance out that loss. PS5s being loss-making for Sony to make is the best shit that ever happened to PC.ĮDIT: The point I am trying to make is that the playstation model has always been to sell hardware (at a loss) to create a captive audience / ecosystem.
