Alright just about to start. I wonder if Jon or Jesse are watching this to see what could be coming to Xbox?

It felt pretty low energy to me, as I was only paying attention every once in a while.

Most of it was already announced or DLC. I don’t know why a State of Play was needed for this…

man that was bad, the only game i even cared about was Tokyo Xtreme Racer and i guess that Marvel Tokon game. And then that PS5 ad at the end, telling up about the PS5 as if it hasnt been out for 5 years lol. So many of those games look like they would be funner on a handheld, and announcing a (non-streaming only) handheld would have probably been the only thing that would have saved that SoP.

GT7 DLC looks like it could be cool. I’ll probably cop that eventually.

51% for D, followed by C at 27%. Felt like a very late TGS with developers realizing there is no room for VGA so they asked Sony to please open a space.

Seems more like Sony just wanted to remind everyone they still exist seeing they’ve been literally disappearing from any mentions noteworthy as of late and then there is also the seemingly weak financial report.

Sony also seems to have deprioritized Japan in recent years, and I think they’re trying to change that (though this wasn’t even a half measure, oof).
