What we learned:
1.) At least currently, PC is a growth area but it's not their focus. In 2025, they are still expecting more games to launch on PS5 than on PC. Day 1 PC games is clearly not going to be the norm.
2.) Live service is a big area. They expect it to be a huge growth area. And if I am reading this correctly, they are going to be spending about half of their development investment into Live Service this year. Bungie is obviously a big part of it.
2b.) 2 live service games to come out this year yet.
3.) They mention 20+ major first and third party games on PSVR2 launch day.
Best case construction, I think their live service push is a lot like their PS3 push, where they had a lot more multiplayer games. So I'm hoping this will be a lot like the PS3 gen.
Still, it makes me a bit sad that they are putting so much focus on live service.
