Just two days after Sony’s announcement that the company would be leaving disc-based games behind after January of 2028, Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki sold 56% of his company shares during a small post-announcement bump in stock value. As caught by Insider Gaming, the SEC filing shows that on July 3, Totoki sold 225,000 of his Sony shares at $21,02 per piece for a total of $4,7 million. Totoki is left with over 170,000 shares. Toshimoto Mitomo, Sony’s chief strategy officer, also sold 25,000 shares, 18% of his total, for the same value There’s no denying Sony has underperformed against fan expectations during the PS5 era. Studio closures, endless game cancellations, an inexplicable focus on titles that nobody bought a PlayStation for, never-before-seen price hikes, and the recent Bungie debacle were more than enough to make this the bleakest time in the company’s foray into video games. We didn’t need to see the death of what made the PlayStation take over the world so soon, especially at a time when the fears over what Sony might do to our digitally-owned titles grow ever larger. Image via PlayStation On July 1, fans created and signed a Change.org petition named “Don’t Kill the Disc,” aimed at saving Sony’s disc-based games from being discontinued. So far, it has reached nearly 220,000 signatures. As evidenced by the sales, the disc discontinuation announcement didn’t materially impact the price, which is currently at $21,20, $0.18 higher than the price Totoki and Mitomo sold their stock for.0The post Even Sony’s CEO wants out after PlayStation’s ‘no-disc’ decision, as indicated by the sale of over half his stock appeared first on Destructoid.
