Thanks :)First, ArmGunar, awesome OP! Really clear, some great historical trend data in there.
Page 8 : https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/pdf/18q4_supplement.pdfThe 37% digital ratio is only at base games, or includes DLC and MTX?
So it doesn't include DLC or MTXFull game software digital download ratio is calculated by the following formula: "Full game software units sold via digital transactions" / "Full game software units sold via both physical and digital transactions."
FY2020 is logically the time it does.
Anyways I will indulge in "Beast Mode" only once:
16M forecast for the FY2019/2020 is much less then I thought, how are they going to maintain the momentum?
Is this the first time they have mentioned first party games contributing heavily to the revenue & profit?

Most popular free to play games don't need ps plus .(Apex legends ,fortnite,etc..)Any major reason PS+ numbers are stagnant? Just people getting fed up with paying for online play? Or is it more to do with free to play games like Fortnite?

My guess is that it is seasonal. Same time last year it actually went down a little, this year slightly up.Any major reason PS+ numbers are stagnant? Just people getting fed up with paying for online play? Or is it more to do with free to play games like Fortnite?
2 million isn't that much of a drop for a console this old, I was surprised they are expecting to sell that high.16M forecast for the FY2019/2020 is much less then I thought, how are they going to maintain the momentum?

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.The 37% digital ratio is only at base games, or includes DLC and MTX?
1. Please don't jinx it, be quiet.
2. I have hope they won't, since for PSNow you don't need Plus for online gaming, MP.
I'm hoping they expand on the Instant Game Collection and have more games available.

WTF! This is amazing.FY2020 is logically the time it does.

If there's one thing they should be concerned about, I guess it would be this. This is pretty stagnant growth. They picked a bad time to lower PS+'s value.
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.2 million isn't that much of a drop for a console this old, I was surprised they are expecting to sell that high.
- Total PS4 profits ($3.84B) [without FY2018] exceed total PS1 profits ($3.03B), the entire PS2 profits ($2.22B) or offset the total PS3 loss ($-3.54B) !
- The PS4 profits of FY2018 alone ($2.81B) exceed the entire PS2 profits during its 6 years ($2.22B)
Just found this randomly, some official numbers (sell-in) by Sony and a recent number for PS3 because it was just guesstimates before

If Sony does in fact release a PS4 Super Slim with 7nm at $199 this year, the rumors of the PS5 having HBM2 + DDR4 are true.
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

What are the 360 numbers?This confirms the PS3 as the second best selling console of the previous gen.

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.If there's one thing they should be concerned about, I guess it would be this. This is pretty stagnant growth. They picked a bad time to lower PS+'s value.
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.This really puts into perspective how much that whole crossplay/censorship/arrogant Sony controversy we had last year actually mattered. Fuck all.
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.The next step for Sony is probably to put F2P online games behind the Plus paywall to boost subscribers. Need to make those remaining non-Plus Fortnite players to pay the ransom.

According to Wikipedia: Xbox 360: Sold 84 million as of June 2014
Damn son
that is why I love numbers + context s2Probably Fortnite, a lot of people don't know PS+ isn't a requirement for F2P. Though it's actually up 2m YoY. Only 100k vs Q3, which is the holidays and when they usually peak I think.
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 ;)
What 94 million number ? Do you have a link please ? :)considering teh 94 million from the other Sony thing from last week it seems only 2.8 million in the channel at the moment
