Yeah, as Arkaign mentioned earlier, the PS4 needs to hit the critical mass (around 40M at minimum) to rake in significant loads of money. Considering that at this age, Sony not only gets money from the hardware and retail games, but also PS+, digital downloads, and eventually, PSNow. It's already over a 1/4 way there. With a big autumn and holiday season, and a beasty 2015 lineup, the PS4 should have little trouble getting close to 3/4 of the critical mass by the end of next year.

But even if PS4 hacks 2B a year in profits that is a dip in the ocean compared to what Sony done in the past... but if they trim right and start to look at the rigth areads they could start regrowing after. But they can't take their sweet time delaying decisions.

This is my major gripe with Kaz and the rest of Sony's executive board. I just don't see any sense of immediacy from them and it's hurting the company. They should've done away with PC and TV a long time ago. Heck, they haven't really gotten rid of their TV business which continues to struggle. Same goes for their smartphones. It wasn't until now that their phones will be supported by Sprint and Verizon. That is something that should've been done way earlier because otherwise, they wouldn've have lost as much money as they did now.
