A look at Sony's investment strategies in video games
A review of Sony's investment strategies in video games, and specifically PlayStation 5, shows that the company has placed its main focus on "service-based games," which include games with a subscription fee and ongoing in-game microtransactions.
In 2020, the company had allocated 88 percent of its investment to "traditional standalone games," which players purchase once, without a subscription or continuous updates.
By 2023, however, investment in service-based games had reached 55 percent of the company's total investment, and it is projected that this figure will rise to 60 percent by 2025.
