“Stock will tank shortly”: PlayStation users believe Sony stock price will drop heavily amid PSN global outage

With the PSN servers being down, many believe that Sony's stock price will drop significantly as a result of the outage. Although the stock market will be closed on Sunday, February 8, 2025, a lot of people think the company will see a major drop in its stock price on Monday, February 9, 2025. On the other hand, there are some individuals who went a step further and urged others to sell their Sony shares.

For instance, @nvilledunlop stated on X:

"Start selling your @Sony stock asap. It's clear that they lack leadership and customer satisfaction. Stock will tank shortly."

This user criticized the company for lacking "leadership" and "customer satisfaction." For those unaware, the PSN is one of the biggest networks in the world and its servers have been offline for over 15 hours.

Here are more reactions from people who think Sony's stock price will take a hit because of the outage:

User @ChuckJeter78 expressed their disappointment with Sony and stated that US players are also facing the same issue as those. They were responding to post about gamers in the UK not being able to use PSN features. Here's what they said:

"Your US friends are just lying to make you jealous. The sh*t is stone cold down across the US. Sony stock is falling and company is sinking like the Titanic. We are waiting on Store to Open to go get PCs and sell PS5 Pros to Gamestop. Tired of paying Sony to access our games."

@ChuckJeter78 also asserted that the PS5 Pro is their last console and that they will never buy anything from Sony again:

"Can you hear the sound of your stock falling! Never again. PS5 Pro is my last. I am not longer willing to pay Sony, and for a system Sony can't even maintain, to access game servers."
