including inflation it will be nearly impossible
be more profitable than ps3 is a given.

seems like all companys focus on profits this gen. poor nintendo :/


playstation keeps sony alive


It is actually pretty possible to be honest. And of course it will be more profitable than the PS3 the PS3 was a negative lol. The PS4 is probably already nore profitable than the PS3 lol. But hey focusing on profit is a VERY good thing for Sony.

They do sell more than just consoles. I could easily see PS+ being a $100+ million/year in profit as well (once the userbase is driven up, I have a hard time believing they don't make $10/sub/year).

Besides this, the PS2 was selling 15-22.5 million per year during its peak...indicating the whole brand was profiting approximately $50-$70 per console including accessories, games, etc.

So it really isn't ridiculous to say the PS4 sells 15-20 million in a year, and profits $68-$90 per console including accessories, games, etc.

ofc.

im not talking about profit on the hardware alone

im talking about actual profit per console on the complete gaming divsion

 

 

the operating income is -18,8 billion yen for fiscal year 2013

2014 forecast is 20 billion yen (0,18billion $)

they need 150 billion yen to reach the 1.4 billion $ goal
