Is that possible? how much does vues rivals make in profit and revenue a year? |
It doesnt really matter. Lets look at it this way instead.
The success of PSvue isnt tied to any Playstation console . Its a standalome servixe and is now going to be available on everything. PC, Mac, Android TV, Android mobile, Roku, amazon devices....etc.
Now the only question is how good and cost effective is its service. And by all indications it service is spot on and is currently regarded to as the best cord cutting TV service on the market. So as is the case already adoption will keep going up.
just between the 4 major pay TV providers in NA there are currently 70M+ subscribers (Comcast, direct tv, charter and dish network). And there are like 4 more I'm not even factoring in (which currently sit at around 15M subscribers).
At the rate Sony is going, in 5yrs it's not unreasonable to say they couldn't have amassed around 20M subscribers. Stealing a little from everyone else and pulling in their own first time subscribers. This is disabled primarily because PSvue is currently the service with the best value and arguably the cheapest. (let's not forget that every PSvie service comes packed with Service wide DVR).
Now the PSVue service ranges from $30-$50/month. So let's just use a $40 average. That amounts to a revenue of $9.6B/year from a 20M sub base.
And the single biggest advantage Sony has? They can set up a PSvue service in every major region in the world. NA, Canada, UK, Parts of Europe.....etc.
