Wow, great results. Wasn't expecting such a high profit. PS4 shipment numbers are also very good.

Unfortunately we only got shipments for the PS4, not the PS3 or Vita.

Looking at the segments Smartphones are doing particularly poorly again, the forecast was even adjusted down they expect to lose as much on smartphones as they expect to make on gaming (60bln Yen/$480mil).

Still overall great profit and great gaming result, operating profit for the game division is almost 17 times as high as Nintendos operating profit, comparison with the Xbox division is unfortunately not possible.

If they make a black friday bundle of CoD and Battlefront at 350$ (or 330$ if they already had a 50$ price drop) then that would sell shit loads.

Anyway, how do you just go ahead and ship more than X1, 360, 3DS and Wii U combined? That's crazy to me. People can fight over holiday NPD wins all they want, it just feels kind of pointless when you see results like this.

^ This. Winning globally matters more than just getting 1 market.

Up 300k/11% with no price drop and fiercer competition? This console man!

Just wait for that 50$-100$ price cut... things will go nuts when that happends.

Network revenue about to surpass hardware revenue too.... Hardware revenue.... Just think about it. For each PS4 sold, they make hardware revenue of 400$, then there is peripherals, controllers etc. And network (digital sales, PS+, PSNow) is about to make more money than hardware. That's insane. Then there is boxed software sales (royalties), I think that goes under the "other" part.
