Sony FY2018 Results - PS4 : 17.8m (LTD : 96.8m) / Gaming Profits +75% YoY / Best FY ever
- Thread starter ArmGunar
- Start date
Makes sense. Physical still reigns, it would be interesting to know the ratio on fullprice games.The DLC and MTX are almost only available on digital so the ratio on fullprice games should be lower for digital.
I probably have more digital games, but the digital purchases are always bargains so the revenue ratio is higher on physical.
My word. Props to Sony. 100m soon and still a few heavy hitter games to go, I think.
Surely one more PS4 revision left? Super slim.

So it doesn't include DLC or MTX
FY2020 is logically the time it does.
Anyways I will indulge in "Beast Mode" only once:
Omg this made my day !
16 million is perfectly in line with a system at this point in its life. That's a very reasonable forecast.

Omg that Mimir face cought me off guard loll.
Ok. Tks.
Probably in 2 years the Digital will be ahead on Units but probably not on revenue.
Really?
For them to be still selling so much after all these years is incredible.
Most popular free to play games don't need ps plus .(Apex legends ,fortnite,etc..)
Crazy. PS4 should be around 100mil by E3 right?
I'm thinking 120mil should be a given lifetime, with 130mil being attainable. It is still a fairly expensive console. When it goes down to $200 that will open a new market. Plus TLOU2 in particular is going to sell some consoles.

PS: This is also why I always find the "How will Sony adjust to Switch's impact" threads funny. Sony doesn't give a shit.
16M in FY19. I think we will finally get a pricedrop, most likely with the arrival of 7nm APUs for base and Pro.
They will also need good software. I presume at least TLOU2 will be released before the end of 2019, with maybe one more [Tsushima or Death Stranding] in early 2020. As for multiplats, they are set,.

My guess is that it is seasonal. Same time last year it actually went down a little, this year slightly up.
2 million isn't that much of a drop for a console this old, I was surprised they are expecting to sell that high.
They specifically label it as "full game", so from what I understand that means no DLC, MTX or even indie games (as $10 indie games would probably skew their data). Only full priced games seem to count.
I'm holding my breath that they're waiting to pull the trigger on adding more games for the PS5 launch, especially some of their older PS4 games. For people who are going to jump in fresh to the PS ecosystem adding all PS4 first party games aside from say the big 3 would be a great selling point.
They have a god record on their previsions. So the price cut should be a given probably being a super slim model.
WTF! This is amazing.FY2020 is logically the time it does.
Anyways I will indulge in "Beast Mode" only once:
Why have I never seen this before? LOL
I think this stems from the fact the modern popular online game doesn't require PS+
Ditto most of these games like Apex and more.

Just found this randomly, some official numbers (sell-in) by Sony and a recent number for PS3 because it was just guesstimates before

Me too. Planning to sell only 2 million less than a year with Fortnite Effect + God of War + Spider-Man + Black Ops 4 + Red Dead Redemption II + the Spider-Man 200$ bundle is very optimistic, especially since you know that Sony originally had a forecast of 16M for the last fiscal year.
I think it confirms the release of The Last of Us Part II in holidays 2019 and a permanent price drop of PlayStation 4 to 200$. It would be the only explanation.
Do we know anything about revenue split for developers whose games are featured on PS+? Because looking at the amount of subscribers, there's a lot of money to go around.
The raw revenue of PS+ adds up to something like $2B per year. If devs get 20% of that and we assume that there are 4 games per month (counting all regions), then every dev ends up with around $8M per game.
This is assuming that it is a one time payment divided equally, which it most likely isn't. No matter what the split is though, I'm sure it's profitable for the developer.

At least it's some concrete numbers, I wanted to know about this too.

This confirms the PS3 as the second best selling console of the previous gen.

Everyone and their mother predicted a Super Slim PS4 at 199 this year lmao.
Wow, that's interesting. I thought the PS3 must be somewhere in the 90+ million range.Just found this randomly, some official numbers (sell-in) by Sony and a recent number for PS3 because it was just guesstimates before

Incredible numbers and deserved. Just look at the profits for Sony in 2012 and 2013. Tiny compared to late gen profits now. The ps5 launch year and R&D will be costly but profits so high now they won't go in the red. Just imagine the profits they'll be pulling throughout the ps5 life. Greatest turn around in gaming ever. The digital share will probably hit 60% and profits will soar. A 7nm ps4 super slim can be a trojan horse in markets like India, China etc especially as it doesn't require plus for FTP games.
There's always a big increase in Q3 for the holidays then a slow down after. Compare PS Plus with the same quarter last year and it's going up nicely. This holiday it should go up again. 40m+ sometime in 2020 I think.
The gaming Internet doesn't represent reality and I think a ton of website articles and influencers are effectively sponsored by corporations trying to push the narrative. Take it with a pinch of salt.
Yeah if MS are going to keep that requirement Sony will definitely say fuck it they want more PS plus subs too. With that requirement I can see them hitting 50m+ subs next gen. That will be a 3BN+ annual revenue spinner for them. Crazy times.
Also biggest platform of last gen for sw shipments. 999.4 million is more than NDS (948.64 million) and Wii (920.81million). Only X360 might be ahead of it but we have no data.

considering teh 94 million from the other Sony thing from last week it seems only 2.8 million in the channel at the moment
According to Wikipedia: Xbox 360: Sold 84 million as of June 2014
Damn sonComparison with the WII :
And they shipped more ps4's than Nintendo did with switch
that is why I love numbers + context s2
I believe it was 84m up to 2015, but the PS3 was selling more globally on an annual basis so a catch up was always inevitable.

They just released it on Twitter some hours ago ;)
