Just want to make sure people know how accounting works regarding ps+ as well. When sony sells a $50 subscription, only the amount earned is recorded as revenue. So if a 50 dollar sub is sold on December 1st, only $4 is recorded as revenue...the rest is actually a liability. The increased revenues will stay up whether people bought a 3 month or a 12 month subscription.

That's the first time I've heard that. Are you sure about that? And why would they do it like that, when it's essentially a one-time fee just like a game?

Yeah I don't think they do it like that. When someone pays $50 for PS Plus they pay all in one go, they aren't paying monthly.
