The swift recovery of the PlayStation Network and the gesture of compensating users with extra service days may help bolster customer sentiment. However, the outage itself could lead to short-term negative perceptions about service reliability. Overall, investor interest might be stable or slightly positive, contingent on how Sony handles the aftermath and maintains service quality moving forward.
