In just 1 year, Sony expect their Game & Network Services to make nearly half the profits PS2 ever made
Tomorrow is December 1st. We are getting closer to Christmas and thus also closer to a new year and a fresh start. We are also getting closer to March 31st, 2017, the last day in Sony Corporation's fiscal year (FY) 2016. A year that really segmented the return of a profitable PlayStation with a projected 60 million PS4 consoles sold by April 1st, 2017.
The PS4 has only been available for three years. By comparison, the PlayStation 3 sold more than 80 million units worldwide as of November 2nd, 2013, which was seven years after its initial launch. In February 2016, analysts projected the PS4 to go on to sell more than 100 million units worldwide before its lifecycle is over. This is a milestone that only three other home consoles have ever reached (PS1, PS2 and Wii).
Sony believe "PS4 software sales including sales through the network", "PS4 hardware unit sales" and "Network Services" will all contribute to the overall increase.
