So VGC is pretty much right ... This is not good enough!



 

The PS5 Exists.

Most people mean profit when they talk about income, and for that figure, you have to look at net income. But whatever.

I'm well aware of that. I'm just telling you that he probably meant overall as, again, that's the only place $2.7B was ever mentioned.

I figured he just looked at the image embedded in the OP and transferred it to dollars. It can be confusing for those not "in the know" when you don't post the full results (presuming you want to make this the financial results thread).

Wouldn't be over tracked by much. We are a month behind so it's probably well over 40 million now.

This is for the end of March.  VGC is at 39.8m end of march.

I'd say at least 500k to 750k overtracked.  Possibly higher.  Inventory has to be high for a high demand product. 

 

Anyhow...

Very good gaming numbers.  BIg spend in R&D for Gaming this last year... PSVR + PS4.5?  Still not providing portable numbers.

 

Mobile is still not doing it and  Devices is struggling because other peoples mobiles arent doing it.  Financial services hit by Yen.  TV's have fallen back again.

 

Forecasts will be interesting.  Q4 results  v Q4 YOY not that great.  Which would perhaps show cost cutting is complete and any increases now will be down to improved performance rather than flat performance and cost cutting (sales and operating revenue are actually down YOY).

 

Im meaning if we just left the numbers as seen on the front page that they wouldn't be overtracked by much seen as we are a month behind just change it to April 3rd week and call it fair lol

I'm wondering, could game development be considered R&D? I mean... it's development....

But when you exclude items, I'd say this is pretty good performance YoY imo. Also I think right about now would be a good time to buy SNE. I think when the forecast releases, its stock is gonna rise (wether it *should* rise or not is a different question). Yen seems to be strengthening, and the weak yen has really hit Sony hard in the last year due to a lot of dollar-denominated costs. Will be fun in a few weeks to see if I'm right! Although I'm holding SNE with a horizon of a few years rather than short term, so for me it doesn't change too much.



Great results for both Sony as a whole and Playstation



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Those are the numbers crapgamer and Mooch throw around. Just saying ...

This is based of the statement from sony, who said that they delivered/ sold 40 million ps4 to retailers now and on the statement from ea which said that botch consoles delivered/sold to retailers 60 million units at the end of february

EA probably rounded up.  Chances are they are approximating. And they probably are using shipment numbers like they do with their own sales figures.
