So they're slightly down on hardware sales compared to last year, but up on software. Also kind of strange to see that digital ratios peak in Q1/4 and then are a fair bit lower in Q2/3.

And they currently have 34.3m PS+ subscriptions? At £50 a year that's over £1.7 billion a year in revenue. That's crazy money! And that's assuming everybody is getting the cheaper year long subscriptions. If a bunch of those are getting the more expensive 1/3 month ones they'd be raking in even more cash :O

And yet they don't use any of this juicy money to make more LoD :c

Would be nice if they start announcing 1st party game sales on their quartely reports, btw, missed chance there.

They actually asked Shawn Layden about a 1st party JRPG studio on the last Blogcast. He didn't have anything to say about it, but they do seem to be aware that PlayStation fans are looking for a WWS caliber JRPG. LoD would be the ultimate launch title for a new JRPG studio, and create huge buzz for PS5. Just saying.

I wish they would be up front about sales of 1st party titles as well. Why not show 1st party sales, and show the split between PSN and Retail. It's all positive news, might as well give the media some more headlines for some free promotion.
