sWe made a few jokes yesterday (although maybe not enough), but the truth is that Activision-Blizzard’s case is worrying for Sony (which is not the same as “related to Sony games”). Only the Japanese company suffers from what it has long refused to accept: It’s time to change your gaming paradigm Here’s the consequences: Its stock price went down a bit 20 billion dollars.
It’s Sony’s biggest drop in 14 years In October 2008, Sony had to replace 100,000 laptop batteries. A manufacturing defect made it particularly susceptible to ignition. This decrease in their commercial value was recorded both Cuomo Financial Times from Bloomberg. But why does something have a high or low value in the stock market? In very simple terms: To speculate on the financial future of the company.
Investors deposit their money in a company (Sony, in this case) I think, With this money, the company will grow, and as it grows they will receive a profit in return. Obviously, you are only investing in businesses that you think may be successful in the future. If the business goes bad, you withdraw part of your investment (You get back some of the money you deposited) So you don’t lose everything. s This is the reason for its low value.
The opposite is what happened with Square Enix, Capcom and Konami, that at the same time that Sony has fallen, the value of these companies has plummeted By 5% on average. Why are so many shareholders interested in these companies? Because it was so predicted They may be the next target for Microsoft. are you imagining? Final Fantasy, Megaman and Silent Hill As part of Xbox Game Pass. Oh there is money.
And why do shareholders fear that the PlayStation will not have a bright future? because Activision titles are feared to become (mainly) Xbox exclusives. When Microsoft bought Bethesda, it made sure that studio titles wouldn’t be exclusive to console X. Everything Bethesda generates in the future will be exclusive to Xbox. And certainly (contributors say) Same with Activision-Blizzard.
Sony has two options to refund and refund: 1) Create a game system similar to Game Pass, which allows players to access a much wider catalog than PlayStation Plus, and 2) Enable backward compatibility with your classic games From PS 1, 2 and 3. And according to some rumors, Both plans are already underway.
