Great Quarter for PlayStation! The rest of the company remains stagnant or in decline.
They need to get their other devices and entertainment segments into the PlayStation ecosystem ASAP, to turn around sales, start making profits, and increase the value and importance of their OS and Store. Smartphones continue to decrease while they continue to tack on the $5+ Billion in losses they have obtained since killing Vita and focusing half assed efforts on Xperia. They are now forecasting 9 Million Xperias sold for the year, while losses double to 30bln Yen. Their other Google charity program, the display and sound segment is forecasting sales to decrease another million units this year, while profits remain flat (highly unlikely, expect them to fall). There are no words for the level of incompetence going on at the top, and the rest of the divisions outside of PlayStation. They could be succeeding in every division if they would just work as a team, and focus on improving Sony. No more internal battles, no more divisions using competitors software and storefronts. Just one Sony working to deliver the best Sony expereince possible.
THINGS TO NOTE
-The march towards digital continues with full game sales rising from 39% in Q1 2017 to 43% in Q1 2018. Not long before we reach 50%, should be there by the time PS5 launches.
-Full game software sale were up to 40.6 Million from 38.6 Million in Q1 last year.
-PS+ membership fell from 34.2 Million in March to 33.9 in June.

Yeah... if Only Sony put the PS4's OS on a cell phone. With its complete and utter lack of app library, and the angle the media would push about Sony once again unnecessarily pushing their own proprietary OS, I'm sure units would FLY off the shelves! Better yet, let's have Sony increase the performance of their TVs (and thus decrease profit margin/increase price) so that they can run a comparatively bloated PS4 OS, but not actually play PS4 games, while abandoning a TV OS that already has most, if not all of the apps and non-PS4 game features that the PS4 has.
Sony would be better off pulling out of the cell phone market and tv market altogether rather than light money on fire implementing your ideas.
Edit: You want Sony to increase profits? Maybe they should notice the writing on the wall and put PSVR out to pasture. The market is obviously not there for it, and we're already seeing a year on year decrease in sales despite it only being its second full year of sales, and promotions that saw its price cut in half.
