PS store, twitch, kick, youtube. This was a huge marketing failure. At a minimum they could have recouped a massive chunk of that $400m if they did another $10m in marketing.

A $400m loss could have been come down to $200.

This is also partially a consequence of the loss of the E3 convention. There’s no longer a central forum for showcasing and building hype.
