Sony closes its games to PC and Capcom confirms that half of its sales come from there. A contradiction with a reason: Playstation 6

by

Sony has decided that titles like ‘Ghost of Yotei’ will not come to PC, ending six years of multiplatform strategy. The twist is striking for the moment: Capcom has just confirmed that 50% of its sales already come from the PCand expects that number to continue growing. Two giants of the industry from Japan, two radically opposite bets on where the future of the business lies. The breakup. After weeks of rumors in that direction, Bloomberg confirmed that Sony has canceled plans to bring its big single-player exclusives to PC. TO ‘Ghost of Yotei‘, one of the most celebrated PlayStation releases in 2025, are joined by ‘Saro’, the next Housemarque game. The multiplatform experiment that Sony started in 2020 with ‘Horizon Zero Dawn‘It has lasted six years. The withdrawal is not total. According to sources consulted by Bloomberg, games as a service (the imminent ‘Marathon’, ‘Marvel Tokon’ or ‘Horizon: Hunter’s Gathering’) will maintain a multi-platform launch, because their business model depends on building player bases as wide as possible. ‘Death Stranding 2: On the Beach’ and ‘Kena: Scars of Kosmora’ will continue to be ported to PC this year, as they are titles from third-party developers published under the PlayStation umbrella. Calm rhythm. Sony’s release rate on Steam was never that of a furious competitor: the titles arrived between one and three years after their console debut, which meant that the ports had to compete against previous versions that had already suffered price discounts, to which was added the incessant pace of new releases for PC. These are some of the reasons why Sony may the bills didn’t work out: ‘Ghost of Tsushima’ reached a peak of 77,000 simultaneous players, but ‘Horizon Forbidden West’ and ‘The Last of Us Part II Remastered’ did not exceed 40,000 and 30,000 respectively. To retreat. This leaves some decisions made by Sony recently up in the air: in 2021 acquired Nixxes Softwarea Dutch studio specialized in porting games to PC (‘Tomb Raider’ trilogy, ‘Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’), and it is not clear what its future will be with this new strategy. Furthermore, on the 19th Bluepoint Games closedthe studio responsible for the remakes of ‘Demon’s Souls’ and ‘Shadow of the Colossus’, with around 70 employees affected. Sony think tank CEO Hermen Hulst spoke internally of an “increasingly challenging industry environment”, with rising development costs and slowing growth. Bluepoint had been working on a ‘God of War’ project in the form of a game as a service. Print money. In February 2025, Shuhei Yoshida, former president of PlayStation Studios, described the strategy of bringing games to Steam as something which is similar to “printing money” because the cost of a port is only a fraction of that of developing an original game. Why the change in strategy? PC numbers weren’t bad in absolute terms: Sony’s five best-selling titles on Steam together they surpassed 43 million copies and generated more than $1.2 billion in gross revenue for the company. The problem may well be the value they subtract from the hardware: they generate income but not a loyalty to the ecosystembecause a PC gamer does not need to buy a Playstation console. In the end, as Bloomberg pointed out, PC ports represent less than 2% of Sony’s total annual revenue. And there is something else: apparentlythere is a real concern about the design of the next xboxwhose architecture is closer to a Windows PC than to a conventional console, with the possibility of supporting multiple stores, including Steam. The PlayStation exclusives available on Steam could run perfectly on an Xbox, which would make Sony investing money to literally benefit its most direct competitor. Capcom prefers the PC. A day before Bloomberg published Sony’s new policy, Capcom released the Q&A transcript of its fiscal third-quarter results. An investor asked about the PC strategy regarding ‘Resident Evil Requiem‘ and its technical commitment to that platform. The company’s response was that the PC already represents approximately 50% of the total units sold for Capcom, and the internal expectation is that that figure will continue to grow. Already in October 2021, the company’s COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto stated in an interview that the company’s goal was that the PC became its main platform and that the proportion of sales between console and PC will reach 50-50 in 2022 or 2023. The prediction has been fulfilled with only a couple of years of delay. Revenue generated via Steam grew by 61.1% between April 2024 and March 2025 and in that same period PlayStation’s share of Capcom’s total revenue fell below 10%. The differences. Of course, there are differences to take into account between Capcom and Sony. Capcom has no hardware to sell, and its only incentive is to maximize the distribution of its software catalog across all platforms. Sony, on the other hand, manages a complete ecosystem that includes a console, digital store, subscription and accessories, and each decision has to be measured not only in direct sales of that title but in the impact on the value of the hardware and loyalty to the ecosystem. They are different business structures. Things that happen. All this happens the same year that Valve announces its new Steam Machine, in which the ROG Ally with branding from xbox It corroborates after the Steam Deck that the power of PC hardware can reach the living room, and that Microsoft officially embraces the idea that its games do not need an Xbox to be played. What justifies buying a dedicated console in 2026? Sony clearly focuses its sights on the most successful name in the industry at the moment: Nintendo. If you have to sell hardware, the key is exclusivity and making your object essential. It only remains to be seen if Playstation 6 will be so essential.

BYD sales have fallen 41% in China. It is the biggest symptom that something much more serious is happening in your industry.

by

They are very specific days but the data is the data. And the data says much more because of what it hides than what it says at first. BYD has fallen 41% in sales during the Chinese New Year holidays. The problem is that the Chinese market seems to be slowing down. And BYD isn’t the only company feeling it. 41%. This is, as we said, how much BYD sales have fallen in China during the month of February 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The data is provided by CarNewsChina where it is also noted that it is 9.5% less than last January, so the trend does not invite optimism. In the middle they point out that this fall coincides with a Chinese New Year that in 2026 has completely departed the month of February. These are days in which sales inevitably fall because citizens live immersed in the largest migration in the world and this year has been one of the longest festive periods in recent years. In 2025, these festivals occupied the last days of January so that during the remainder of the month they were able to reach cruising speed, which exacerbates the decline. The price war. BYD’s low sales are exacerbated by a stagnating local market. To continue encouraging sales, BYD, Tesla or Xiaomi are offering financing for seven years. Something common in our country but a rarity that is becoming consolidated in China and that makes another detail clear: there is no room to continue lowering prices. Already in January, the China Passenger Car Association announced that sales had fallen 13.9% compared to the same month in 2025. The situation was more complicated among “new energy” vehicles, as plug-in hybrids, electric and extended-range electric vehicles are called. In this case, the drop reached 20%. Obviously, for BYD, Tesla or Xiaomi, who only offer electric or plug-in cars, the former, the situation is more delicate. A must-see. Exporting has become an almost obligatory outlet for BYD. Although its sales have decreased in the local market, exports have exceeded 100,000 units and that represents a growth of more than 50%. And there are already four consecutive months with shipments of this volume, they point out in CarNewsChina. Although BYD’s progress had been slow in Europe until recently, in 2025 they grew 270% on our continent. January has also been a good year (they almost triple their position compared to January 2025, they point out in The Energy Newspaper) and is a boost to a policy that has opted to give more for less money within plug-in vehicles. If we talk about Spain, one of the most important countries for BYD right now outside of China, BYD has placed two electric cars among the 10 best-selling cars so far this year and another two among the five best-selling plug-in hybrids. Much more than a symptom. Although we have focused on BYD sales, what is clear is that in 2026, car sales will not start in China. In The New York Times They reflect the drop in the company’s share price, which has lost part of the support of investors. But the problem goes beyond the brand’s headquarters. Mike Smithfrom Washington and Lee University, points out to the American media that 40% of the vehicle production generated by China is not being used, according to his calculations. This is not the first time that there has been talk of Chinese overproduction of automobiles. The constant evolutions in the product have made products launched just a few months before obsolete, pushing the price war even further. And with a country overproducing cars and evolutions at a dizzying pace, it is logical that the customer stops purchasing, expecting a better car at a better price in the short term.

The Xiaomi electric car that beat Tesla in sales has been renewed. And he has shattered a resistance record along the way

by

Xiaomi’s Xiaomi SU7 has broken a world endurance record and has become the first electric sedan in the world capable of traveling 4,264 kilometers in 24 hours. The previous record was held by another Chinese company. the car. The Xiaomi SU7 renewed just a few weeks ago not only some aesthetic touches: now the engine is the V6s Plus, the same one fitted to the Xiaomi YU7 with the promise of achieving 902km (under CLTC cycle) on a single charge and 670 kilometers of autonomy in 15 minutes. The test. The Chinese brand has just announced that the Xiaomi SU7 Max has just broken a record that until now was held by Xpeng’s P7. 4264 kilometers traveled in 24 hours, within a closed circuit. Why is it important. First of all, this number is the immediate translation of what Xiaomi has achieved with its affordable sedan: shattering the endurance record for electric vehicles. A milestone that places it far above the Xpeng P7. Bringing the circuit test to the practical world, the record comes close to the new SU7 going on sale in China. Xiaomi wants to make it clear that its car is capable of withstanding limits well above those that no user will expose it to on the street. How has he achieved it. For much of the test, the SU7 Max maintained a constant speed of 240 km/h, with a maximum of 265 km/h along CATARC, a 7.8 kilometer oval track. The only stops made were to recharge the vehicle. The engine of this updated SU7 mounts a 101.7 kWH NMC battery, capable of recovering 670 km of autonomy (according to the Chinese CLTC cycle) in just 15 minutes. A V6s Plus engine capable of rotating at 22,000 rpm and extracting a maximum power of 681 HP. Sales success. Xiaomi’s SU7 is an unprecedented success. Being the first car manufactured by the company, it has achieved sell more than the Tesla Model 3, outperform rivals in specifications like him Taycan Turbo in its Ultra version. Still, the company is losing money. 800 million dollars. Ironic as it may seem, Xiaomi lost close to a billion dollars in the first year manufacturing the SU7. The company has placed more than 350,000 cars on the market since the launch of the SU7 but… Between 2021 and 2025, it spent 3.3 billion on the development of both the car and its ecosystem. The figure increased to 4.2 billion in research in 2025. Figures that, as astronomical as they may seem, do not represent a major problem for a company that aspires to become the largest manufacturer of electric cars in the world, above Tesla.

Japan had dominated total car sales for more than 20 years, until China knocked on the door

by

Projections for 2025 anticipate a historic change in the global automobile industry. And as they point out data According to Nikkei China, Chinese manufacturers expect to reach approximately 27 million vehicles sold globally, surpassing the almost 25 million expected from Japanese brands. It is the first time in more than two decades that Japan has lost absolute leadership in total automobile sales. Why is it important. For more than 20 years, Japanese manufacturers have dominated global vehicle sales figures. Toyota, Honda, Nissan and company have become a global reference in sales volume and efficiency over all these years. That China is going to overtake them reflects the mammoth change that is happening in the automobile industry, with the Asian giant conquering every possible corner at a speed that is difficult for the rest of the competitors to digest. In detail. According to data from Nikkei China based on information from manufacturers and figures from S&P Global Mobility until November 2025, China’s growth in this sector will be 17% year-on-year. The figures include both passenger and commercial vehicles, and include both domestic sales and exports. The Chinese domestic market represents around 70% of these total sales, where new energy vehicles (pure electric and plug-in hybrids) already account for almost 60% of passenger cars sold. Brands such as BYD and Geely have entered the global top 10 manufacturers by sales this year, while Chery has consolidated as one of the largest exporters in the country. Exports support growth. The domestic market in China is a jungle. Overcapacity and increasingly fierce price competition They are making a dent in the country, which is why Chinese manufacturers have intensified their international expansion. In Southeast Asia, traditionally dominated by Japanese brands, Chinese sales will grow by 49% to reach around 500,000 units, according to data from the report. In Europe, despite the tariffs imposed Regarding electric vehicles, it is expected that there will be sales of about 2.3 million vehicles, benefiting from the fact that many plug-in hybrids are exempt from additional taxes. Emerging markets also joinand the figures indicate that Africa will register 230,000 vehicles sold (32% more) and Latin America will reach 540,000 units (33% more). A turning point. Japan reached its peak sales in 2018 with almost 30 million units. In just three years, the eight million vehicle lead it had over China in 2022 has completely evaporated. Japanese brands have lost market share in key Asian markets and are struggling to adapt to the electric transition, where they have arrived late. Toyota maintains its strength in segments such as pickups and is committed to carbon-neutral combustion engines (via renewable fuels) and hybrid technology, but in China, the largest market in the world and capital of the electric car, that approach is costing them dearly. Not even Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi, which now they collaborate on software and electrical infrastructure, can withstand the storm coming from China, a country that has specialized above all in batteries, software and production speed. And now what. Japan has a great challenge ahead if it wants to recover ground in electrification and stop the erosion in markets where until recently they dominated strongly. China does not have a bed of roses either, since its challenge will be to maintain the pace in a context of growing protectionism, with the United States and Canada Tariffs of more than 100% already apply to Chinese electric companies, and those of the European Union of up to 45.3%. Things are going to be interesting. Cover image | BYD and Xiaomi In Xataka | Ferdinand Porsche devised the first car with an electric motor in each wheel.

The Tesla Cybertruck is such a sales failure that Elon Musk has only found one solution: buy them from himself

by

It could have been a flagship model with short production and huge margin. But Tesla decided that it had to turn it into just another car, a product for which it expected success comparable to any other company model. They have missed the mark so much that Elon Musk’s companies are buying the Tesla Cybertruck to boost sales. Blowing up the numbers. At the moment there are 1,000 units and they could reach 2,000, they say in Electrek. The media specialized in electric mobility in the United States assures that an internal source has confirmed that these are the Tesla Cybertrucks that SpaceX and xAI have already purchased from the car manufacturer. Why does an electric car have less autonomy than advertised? The information expands a publication from the medium itself which already pointed out in October that Tesla was selling its cars to Elon Musk’s other two companies. Then they pointed out that the movement could be interesting for companies because the purchase of this type of automobile was subsidized. If SpaceX and xAI had to buy cars, at least they were helping to make the hole in Tesla’s accounts a little less deep. Click on the image to go to the original tweet 80 million dollars (at least). However, we must not overlook the fact that SpaceX and xAI have spent more than 80 million dollars in buying Tesla cars. And that is in the best of cases because the company is selling the electric pick-up in versions of $80,000 and $115,000. A figure extraordinarily higher than the $39,900 promised the first day of its announcement. And the company started selling the most expensive versions of its pick-up like hotcakes. So much so that the price of the car skyrocketed on the second-hand market for those who wanted to skip the line and others made a splash by ordering several units and ordering them for days. Months later, the bubble burst to the point that Tesla cannot sell its production. There is no way out. And the company is having real problems putting its Cybertruck on the street. First, it is not easy how many you actually sell because in your accounts Tesla groups sales by category. One is for the land vehicles (Model 3 and Model Y) and the rest for its luxury options (Model S, Model Y and Cybertruck). Despite this, in Electrek They point out that they are not selling more than 20,000 units a year. It is a resounding failure because the company has the capacity to produce 250,000 units and Elon Musk even stated that They could sell half a million units of your electric pick-up. As the months go by, however, all we have is news about shopping centers in which they accumulate unsold electric SUVs or vehicle deliveries that carry collecting dust for months in a field There is no market. There is worse news for Tesla: there is no market for the Cybertruck. the car hasn’t shown much on their off-road excursions but, in addition, the very idiosyncrasies of the country in which it is sold means that this enormous electric pick-up that promises to be able to go anywhere is unusable for use as a work vehicle. And the Cybertruck has remained an exotic vehicle in urban areas. In a country where charging points are scarcea high-consumption electric pick-up (imagine its use on a ranch, towing another vehicle…) is useless. Much more if we review all its design and reliability problems. And it’s not just a Tesla thing. Ford has had to cancel production of its F-150 Lightning because you can’t sell the car once the most passionate customers have already purchased it.

by

Black Friday has already come to an end, but with almost no time to relax, Cyber ​​Monday is here. Many offers have already gone away, but there are companies that take advantage of this first December event to launch new promotions or even extend the ones they already had a little longer. That’s just what NordVPN has donewhich continues to maintain its VPN for alone 2.99 euros per month. Of course: there are only a few days left to take advantage of what is one of their best offers of the year. Don’t miss NordVPN’s Cyber ​​Monday if you’re looking for a VPN As we have already told you on more than one occasion, a VPN is one of those tools that can be great for protecting ourselves on the Internet. There are users who prefer to use the free options that are available, although it’s not the best idea in the world. It’s not just that they offer worse service and are usually full of advertising: It’s just that they are not as safe as they say they are.. Among all the payment options available, NordVPN stands out for offering one of the best services. With a VPN like this, we will be able to be safer browsing the Internet, whether through a PC, a mobile phone or even an Apple device. In fact, we will not have any problem taking it everywhere with us, since it supports 10 devices simultaneously. What can we use it for? The truth is that it is almost a Swiss army knife if we take into account everything we can do with it. Thanks to a VPN, we can, for example, keep our IP address safewhich if it falls into the wrong hands can cause someone to locate us or even impersonate us. In addition, it can also protect our Internet traffic if we use a public or hotel WiFi network because we do not have enough coverage. Any VPN really offers that, so it’s worth stopping to see what NordVPN offers. This has military grade encryptionwhich makes it very difficult to suffer any type of attack. In addition, it has more than 8,400 servers spread across 165 different locations, so we will never have connection or speed problems. Simply put: with it, we will navigate safely and always with a very good connection speed. This Cyber ​​Monday, as we have said above, we continue to have all your plans with up to 75% discount. This discount is applied directly, so you don’t have to apply any coupon or do anything strange to enjoy it. It is enough to choose the plan that interests us the most and little else. As we have explained above, their cheapest plan is available right now for only 2.99 euros per month if we choose its two-year modality. In this way, what we will be paying is a total of 80.73 euros. Now, here we must add an additional detail, since all plans come with three extra months. In short, it will be 27 months that we will have the NordVPN service. {“videoId”:”x85k87i”,”autoplay”:true,”title”:”BLACK FRIDAY: HOW TO KNOW IF AN ONLINE STORE IS RELIABLE ️ BUY SAFELY ONLINE”, “tag”:””, “duration”:”562″} Of course, we also have the option of getting one of the other NordVPN plans. They all include the VPN, although they have added functions. For example, the Plus Plan comes with an ad blocker and a leaked data scanner. The Complete plan ups the ante with all of the above and cloud storage. As a last option we have the Complete plan, which adds a tool to the package to delete our information from databases. This is the summary of what all plans cost, both monthly and in total: Basic Plan: 27 months for 80.73 euros in total (2.99 euros per month).
