Sony Quarterly Results (July-Sep) 2018, PS4: 3.9 Million
- Thread starter Noobie
- Start date
Well I guess it depends when they are coming out with it might not be until 2020 at the latest 2021
Just insane how well this thing keeps on selling. Almost 5 years old and barely seen a price decrease at all since launch. Will be over 90 million by the end of 2018 for sure.
very impressive
it'll soon pass ps1 and wii and become the best selling home console after ps2
PS4 should pass Wii's LTD next year. PS1 should be early 2020 or late 2019.

Usually this slide has a couple of negatives like lower hardware revenue due to price cut or currency exchange loss or something but this time it is all pluses!!! Playstation firing on all cylinders
price of a product is determined by supply and demand....if supply outstripped demand, price will drop. As the price are still not dropped officially, it's safe to say that there's still healthy demand vis a vis supply...
Yeah promotional prices or foreign exchange are the usual suspects for negatives. They don't seem to be an issue this time around.
PS4 will pass both shortly after it passes the other. The difference in PS1 and Wii LTD is around 1 million units. Late Fy19 Q2 is my guess.
Sony will have three home consoles selling over 100 million units, absolutely insane.
Good, Sony doing great is good for gaming. Hopefully they invest in more studios or invest even more to their excisting studios. We need a steady stream of exclusives threw the whole gen.
Not only three home consoles selling 100 million units but the top 3 selling home consoles of all time, period. PS2, PS4, and PS1, in that order. Insanity.
Not when TLOU 2 comes out in 2020. ;)
I was talking as a consumer, I understand from a business perspective.
Sony keeps rolling with the PS4 and PSN. Great numbers
That PS5 rumor for next year seems like a waste of potential money for Sony..

Imagine if Sony was even half as price competitive as MS is with Xbox. Literally $50-$100 price drops and multipl free game bundles with everything they can get their hands on and promotional giveaways every month. Got Damit Sony.
We'd have a chance at beating ps2 if they did that.

It would be the wrong move though. Like, they went to $199 last year and sold out extremely early.
It's really important to emphasize again how ridiculously important the video games segment has become to Sony Corporation.
Ive said it beofre and ill say it again, PS5 will absolutely, not in a million years launch in 2019. My 2020 prediction has long been embedded.
kind of curious why they are still making phones. are they actually popular outside the US? don't think i know a single person that owns an xperia phone here in the states
I really think ps3 was an outlier and launch aligned it still outsold the 360 even with Sony messing up

And I bet Kodera loses sleep over that imbalance too.
He's got an incredibly difficult console transition to make - probably more difficult than any that's come before it given the divergent nature of the market between mobile, fixed & streaming + all the consumer facing stuff like crossplay & BC.
They seek to keep the momemtum from the PS4 looking at recent job openings. So it doesnt matter if they sell PS4's or PS5's in the millions as long as they have the momemtum.
Hey man please, don't kill there vibe. Let them dream. Team 2019 ain't hurting nobody.
You tried to tell them

a quarter of their entire business. More than 1/3rd of their profit.
But it has also to do that they failed on their Mobile Division. Which they wanted to be one of the pillars of the revamped Sony. and its really mind-boggling that how spectacularly they succeed in their Gaming Division and how spectacularly they failed in their Mobile Division.
I think I remember reading this somewhere, Sony didn't want a year where PS4 is on it's way out while PS5 is still starting out resulting in lower hardware sales year. they want a more smoother transition where PS4 hardware is still selling well when they sell PS5. or something like that
Yeah that's probably a first in videogame history.
And the undeniable proof that software sells hardware.
Of course.You don't wait till your sales seriously slow down in order to launch new product version.
i'm 99.99% certain that Sony will make the PS5 backward compatible with PS4 and makes it for PS4 owner to transition to PS5. No way they are gonna throw all this momentum away and restart from scratch.
The PS5 will just be a Ultra PS4 Pro Turbo: Championship Edition EX+Alpha

The reason they keep the mobile division is so that they have the technology foundation for 5G in the future. It's basically a loss-leader for them to retain some measure of in-house expertise of important mobile technology instead of basically having no internal 5G expertise.
Great result and no discount this holiday. I wish we would have an update on software sales, Sony you bums.
