Sony's Confidential PlayStation Secrets Just Spilled Because of a Sharpie

| Sony highly confidential information about its PlayStation business has just been revealed by mistake. As part of the FTC v. Microsoft hearing, Sony supplied a document from PlayStation chief Jim Ryan that includes redacted details on the margins Sony shares with publishers, its Call of Duty revenues, and even the cost of developing some of its games.


| Among other things, the document shows that Horizon Forbidden West apparently cost $212 million over five years with 300 employees, and The Last of Us Part II cost $220 million with around 200 employees.

Sony says 1 million PlayStation gamers play nothing but Call of Duty.

It looks like someone redacted the documents with a black Sharpie -- but when you scan them in, it's easy to see some of the redactions. Oops.

| Sony also accidentally revealed how much money Call of Duty is worth to PlayStation. The document suggests CoD was worth $800 million for PlayStation revenue in just the US during 2021 — and we think the document says $1.5 billion globally. And that’s just the game alone, but when you count accessories, subscriptions, and everything else, then that jumps to be $15.9 billion a year — or perhaps $13.9 billion. Either way, it’s a huge amount.

You're welcome lol

Yeah, it is mildly fascinating. I had no idea COD was this huge. I knew it was popular but not enough for 1million people to buy a console just to play one game.


| >>961590 does the employees salary already included in the cost mentioned?


| >>961842
It's highly likely that it is, yes.

Isn't that the case with XVI and ps5? I know some of my friends got one just for it, which is more than knowing none

FF-fans can be quite dedicated so it rings true I guess.
