They say that when you throw everything at the proverbial wall, something is bound to stick eventually. It seems like this is the sort of approach that Sony has had lately, sometimes leading to mixed results. Then again, when you're responsible for making the best-selling game console of this generation with a massive lead over your next competition, your leeway for making mistakes is larger compared to others.
For example, Sony seems intent on trying whatever lately. Last year, Sony released the PlayStation Portal, which has been a surprising success so far. Then, it priced the PlayStation 5 Pro so high only for critics who said that it might not perform as well as expected to backtrack and say that it holds more value than most would have you believing. There's also Astro Bot, the brand's most significant release arguably this generation and a leading Game of the Year candidate, but nobody would've expected this game to do as well as it's doing.
Of course, this approach has resulted in a couple of duds. Case in point, Concord, a monumental failure that put Sony's already thinning live service plans on thinner ice with Fairgame$ and Marathon already expected to fair just as badly. The verdict is still out on whatever else Sony has planned for the rest of the year as PlayStation's year-long 30th-anniversary celebration continues, but we're pretty sure an upcoming pair of remasters that run completely fine on modern hardware, including the PlayStation 5, is something that not even the biggest Sony fans asked for.
