Intersting isnt it... that despite this it will still be one of the lowest years ever for playstation shipments.
2nd lowest in the last 8 years.
Just think about that. |
Sony had a successful handheld last gen. Now, like Microsoft, a majority of the shipments are from their console business. I don't see how that's interesting, everyone knows the Vita is doing poorly. You don't have to downplay every bit of good Sony news you know.

Its not downplaying. its an important industry fact,
the gaming industry is smaller for Ninty and Sony.
It demands more acumen and business sense to make a sustainable model where you dont have new hardware cycles every couple of years.
|
You mean like the PS1? And the PS2? I think you're forgetting that they've already succeeded in a smaller industry.
|
When other areas of the business where profitable. Its a different world and a different Sony now. There is a very good reason why subscription services will be the main focus, digital is the future and gaming as a service will eventually kill consoles.
yes I know people here dont want to hear it but they all mocked me for years when I said mobile would kill handhelds and ultimately affect consoles too...
|
How is mobile going after the consoles when the current dominant consoles is the fastest selling one ever? I can see the connection between handhelds and mobile and how can one affect the other, but consoles are compelty different type of hardware, how could mobile replace them?
And its not that tthe industry is getting smaller, its just that 2/3 of console manufacuters fucked up their badly and the market is responding accordingly
