Forums - Sales Discussion - $ony: Playstation Home is quite profitable

Low investment and good money for the pople that love virtual t-shirts and dolls I guess.

Buser told Gamasutra that console gamers have been very receptive to the virtual goods business model since Home launched in beta form in December 2008.

"… I would say that it is a very good business model for PlayStation, and quite profitable, I might add. I like to say it's one of the highest-margin businesses in the games industry."

Well... That's that.

Looks like we can finally bury the "Home is a pointless flop and i hate it and want to poo all over its face" stance.

Selling nonexistant pairs of jeans for $5 a pop has a high profit margin? You don't say.

lol so true. I use it every once and a while and paid for one shirt. But it passes the time when your bored.



FootballFan - "GT has never been bigger than Halo. Now do a comparison between the two attach ratios and watch GT get stomped by Halo. Reach will sell 5 million more than GT5. Quote me on it."

I think it's ridiculous to buy virtual clothes and virtual furniture.  But then again, I'm not a fan of monthly fee MMO's, but that keep a lot of people entertained.  Am I being too judgmental?



Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

You also have to look at all those third party companies using it as an advertising platform.

I have learned to be very patient with Sony, they start slow, but keeps adding until they get it right.

BTW, I am loving the Facebook picture integration in the new firmware update. I am addicted to it.
