Assuming every single PS4 owner bought PS+ that would mean subs were only at 2-2.5m or so before hand. Doesn't sound right. |
someone a while back, did an analysis of sony's financials and some other statements made by sony and estimated ps+ subscriptions was around 3-4M. i thought it was complete bullshit so i checked the math and you know what,.. it checked out.
ps+ subscriptions on ps3 was pretty low. they had to be or sony would be making a lot more revenue than they report.

Seems like someting impossible to estimate, since Sony do not get all the money from a PS+ sub, devs have stated they get money from games put on PS+, I imagine each game is negotiated individually too.

it actually was a lot more straight forward than you'd think.
it was something like the analysis found the line item in one of sony's financial statements where software services was being reported. he than made the assumptions that 100% of that revenue was from ps+ and that everyone payed $50 a year for ps+. so it was like revenue generated / $50 per user ~= ps+ subscribers.
the analysis had some assumptions in it but it provided a pretty hard ceiling for what ps+ subscription rates could be and it wasn't all that high.
tried to find the article. couldn't.
