What Sony wants is to make the same amount of profit during COVID. They reached a high they can never attain again and are cutting whatever "fat" to get as much profit they can get. Single player games are still predominantly played by a lot of gamers.
As for games being more expensive to be made. Blame the amount of realism embedded in games. Sony is no longer trying to make a stylized "game" anymore. Death Stranding and Death Stranding 2 were realistic styled game but had enough of silly hijinks and gags that I did feel like I was playing a game. Ghost of Yotei made me feel like I was playing a movie rather than a game at times. Who knows, maybe physint would've been Kojima's perfect blend of gaming and movie.
