$324m revenue from as much as 150m games shipped doesn't make much sense. You sure about that?

I think so.

Slide 16

As per the key quoted: Hardware is in units, software (sales) in billions of yen revenue.

Oh I figured out the problem. You just got the dollar amount incorrect. It's actually ~$3.2B

u also have to take into account, that sony does not make 60$ revenue for third party physical games. theyre not the publisher.
only first party games and digital are at full value for the earing release.

3.2/60 would be ~50m games
3.2/40 would be ~80m games
3.2/30 would be ~105m games
3.2/25 would be  ~130m games

Yep but Sony does not make $60 from first party games either. Retailers buy them for less. If I had to guess I'd say Sony get perhaps around $20 per game sold on average => ~160m games sold


depends how they account.
look at the big difference between revenues on gaap base and non gaap base for the big publishers. it they would not count like that, no game would ever gross 1 billion on fist week.

20 bucks seems low, becaus the royalty alone is between 7 and 15 bucks.
ill do some research
