Throughout the year there has been speculation about a great PlayStation event where it shows the great exclusives that are in development by its studios, as well as the upcoming releases for PS5. So far, everything has remained in the field of rumors but thanks to Sony's financial report has been revealed one of the reasons why there will not be a great title beyond Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in 2023.
PLAYSTATION EXCLUSIVES WERE DELAYED AND WILL COME OUT UNTIL 2024
Sony presented its corresponding financial report with the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 (covering April 2023 to March 2024) and the results were not too good for the Japanese company. In the case of PlayStation, the first thing that stood out was that despite the good sales of PS5 the console still does not meet expectations and that generated uncertainty in the short term, so much so that the share price fell more than 6% after the presentation.
SONY REVEALED THAT SOME PLAYSTATION EXCLUSIVES WILL NO LONGER COME OUT THIS FISCAL YEAR
However, another negative aspect that was in the crosshairs was the revelation by Sony that it had to delay some exclusive titles that were scheduled to debut in the second half of the current fiscal year, that is, sometime between October 2023 and March 2024. At the beginning, it highlights that in this period is the holiday season this year and it is almost certain that some of those video games had launch windows to take advantage of the best commercial moment, however it will no longer be so.
Sony did not reveal which PlayStation Studios video games were delayed but taking into account the period in which they were considered and that will now come out until the next fiscal year that begins in April 2024 can be considered as a compelling reason why the brand of the Japanese company did not celebrate a big event with announcements, At least not one that accounts for releases for this year.
In related information, during the financial report of Take-Two Interactive, the company that owns Rockstar Games, Strauss Zelnick, general director, was questioned about the possibility of launching consoles with greater power in the middle generation such as the PS5 Pro. In this regard, the executive said that this does not make sense because the current hardware is capable and is in the middle of its life cycle.
