More importantly is that it embarassed them with how expressive and personality filled the creatures were. It's providing what the normies have wanted for decades and wrapped in a layer of "pokemon with guns" memetic safety so that the people playing it don't feel childish talking about it in public.
Better still is Sony seems to be pushing for a bunch of other media/merchandise. They may be looking to make palworld into the playstation pokemon, and the thought of actual competition probably scares the everliving shit out of TPCI.
