Sony Just Reported A New Record-Breaking High Figure, But It's Unsurprising

Sony Just Reported A New Record-Breaking High Figure, But It's Unsurprising https://ift.tt/Tb0hMd8 Sony just presented its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, including the fact that the majority of PlayStation game sales are digital. Of course, this comes as no surprise since digital sales overtook physical between 2018 and 2019, in the PS4's midcycle. When the PlayStation 5 launched with an option to have no disc drive at all, it was evident the digital era had become king.

After spending their entire existence thinking their simple and idyllic way of life had influenced the world, Barbie (Robbie) realized just how bleak reality can be. This is a film that takes aim at toxic masculinity, corporate America, and everyone who tries to minimize your very existence, all through the eyes of a Barbie doll.

With the strength of Robbie's and Gosling's performances, along with other cast members like Issa Rae, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, and so many more, this is also one of the strongest ensembles we've seen in a long time. While the various versions of Barbie and Ken may have been played as largely surface level, they all pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle to create a fascinating and exciting version of Barbie World. Meanwhile, the non-doll side of the cast, led by America Ferrara, showed that as damaged as the world might be, there was still hope for the future.
