Yes I believe you're right. Switch was the best selling console in 2018 in the US. PS4 was best worldwide.I mean, those threads were for the NPD/US data, no? This is Worldwide

Also important, while the operating income decrased for the quarter, they are still way up year on year for the fiscal year. Those numbers righe here are monstrous
there were still a good amount of people that were confident that worldwide wouldn't be enough to put PS4 aheadThe graphic showing the losses of the PS3 and the earnings with the PS4 will never stop being incredible.

Yup, people really counted their chickens before they hatched.
Wasn't the holiday promotion dropping it down to 45 bucks instead of 60?I wonder what caused the 2 million increase in Plus members in 3 months.
Nah, he's talking about this thread:The graphic showing the losses of the PS3 and the earnings with the PS4 will never stop being incredible.

The music segment actually posted more than double the operational income of PS (mainly due to the acquisition of EMI which puts them as the biggest music publisher in the world) so for once PS might not be the main profit driver for Sony this quarter.Wow an 83% increase in OI for Q1-Q3 from the prior year is incredible.
I really love how Playstation is basically the main profit driver for Sony.
At least it appears they are slowly reinvesting cash into PSN like with the cloud storage increase.
Absolutely crazy a 5 year old console that didn't have any official price reductions(at least in NA where it's still $299) all year outside of Black Friday is still going so strong. This momentum will surely carry on to PS5.

Bloody hell. I think that's the first time I've seen a thread like that. Dudes just make threads about anything now. Next peeps gonna start making individual threads about which console sold the best in UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, and so on. Literally seems like a viral marketer going to work.Nah, he's talking about this thread:

This puts into prospective how much PS is bigger in the ROTW and Europe than anyone else. Being beating by such a margin (1.5 million in japan alone) and yet closing the gap.Nah, he's talking about this thread:

We have numbers for Xbox? or are you just estimating?Absolute beast of a console. Also insane is how Sony sold more consoles in one quarter than MS sold all year. Absolutely behemoth of a brand PlayStation is.
this is the 55% revenue of services and and games on the pie chart correct?Biggest story of 2018 is once again the network side.
PSN total revenue (Full Game Downloads, Add On Content, Subscriptions) hit 1373 billion yen for the full year, up 48% YoY.
That alone is higher than Nintendo's total revenue for 2018. Haven't even included hardware, accessories or packaged software in the Sony number.
Jesus, makes sense why Nintendo is pushing NSO. It also helps that Sony is pretty good with digital sales and people moving quite a bit to digitalBiggest story of 2018 is once again the network side.

Someone at Sony just needs to give us all the historic shipment data for all of their titles going back to PS1. Ain't no harm at this stage surely. Especially when there's probably a bunch of 10+ million sellers in recent years with Uncharted 3/4, TLoU, God of War, Spidey, Horizon etc.https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/pdf/18q3_supplement.pdf
page 8 has total software sales, and the digital vs physical in money and units, but page 9 is where you go awww though, as you're right, no new title specific updates, just a list of all the announcements to date
Yes, that thread was about NPD but people were saying there that Switch was also going to outsell PS4 worldwide during 2018, basically calling us crazy to the ones who said may not be the case mostly because PAL region is Sonyland.I mean, those threads were for the NPD/US data, no?

They basically fixed/avoided the mistakes they had with PS3 launch. Some during PS3 lifetime, others during PS4.god damn did they figure their shit out this generation or what
https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/Isn't there usually a conference call or something that happens soon after this info is released? When does that happen?
They're basically just letting Sony Music pick up the slack at this point. FGO is a golden goose.Best selling console 5 years in a row. Well deserved.
On another note, do something about your Mobile division already Sony. It's clearly not working out for you.

Interesting. I hope it's something weird like old Sony would produce.They have. They underwent restructuring last year and the new leadership says they've made significant changes. We should see the first steps of that later this month at Mobile World Congress. Just from the leaks we've gotten so far the XZ4 (or whatever it'll be called since there's supposedly a new naming scheme) looks solid, but the "insiders" have been hinting at more for some time now and no one wants to say wtf it is. All we know is those mofos are excited about something. Very curious to see what they'll have to show off.
I wonder how much their profits from the Music division come from FGO alone. It's gotta be a pretty sizable chunk.They're basically just letting Sony Music pick up the slack at this point. FGO is a golden goose.
Jesus, the turn around for Sony this gen has been incredible.Biggest story of 2018 is once again the network side.
