Replying to an older comment, but the actual increase in revenue was $9 million and the analyst said the increase in hardware sales was due to the Switch. 9 million divided by 300 is only 30,000 units. Japan sells ~24,000 a week. The US is a bigger market than Japan, so the numbers are much higher. With this in mind, PS4 likely saw a decline year-over-year. I point this out as everyone is cheering "YEAH PS4" but in reality, sales are likely down. Basically, it's the kind of a sand castle. EDIT: Also software is down 20 percent. This is mostly due to Overwatch I'm sure, but it coincides with the decline in PS4 hardware. |
Software is down mostly because of Uncharted 4 because it was the best selling game last May. Overwatch has a role to play also but it's mostly because of Uncharted.
