The Vita sales will probably pick up when more PS4s are the market. I doubt Sony will drop the Vita because remote play is a big part of PS4 selling point.


They sure won't be discontinuing it for a while, but I doubt sales will pick up.

He is wrong because the division was in the black the last couple of years

Bundle the vita with the ps4.. And redesign it or release the cheaper vita in the states for 149 or less.. Put some AAA IP on it, advertise.. Its the only way to bring it back..

X host and journalist Geoff Keighley just tweeted that Sony announced that PS4 was the top selling next-gen platform for “both hardware and software”Update: here’s what President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America had to say in the official press release that was delivered immediately afterwards:PlayStation 4 sales in North America and worldwide have been incredibly strong since launch, culminating in PS4 being recognized as the largest console launch in history. In North America alone, more than one million PS4 units were sold in only 24 hours and we’re pleased NPD has reported that PS4 was the top selling next gen platform for both hardware and software in November.We are humbled by the passion and excitement demonstrated by gamers for PS4. Demand continues to overwhelm supply, but we’re working hard to get PS4 units into the hands of customers throughout the holiday season.And here’s Keighley’s original tweet:Looks like at least for now we know that someone at Sony is probably uncorking a bottle of Champagne. Mind you, looks like the folks at Microsoft are celebrating as well.We also have to remember that NPD tracks sales only for North America and doesn’t keep records of digital download sales.Update 2: In the meanwhile Sony Computer Entertainment also released a celebratory video, aptly titled “World’s Largest Console Launch Ever.” JOIN THE DISCUSSION RELATED ARTICLES3DS Continues Strong in NPD Group’s July 2013 Sales ReportShooters Outsold by Action Games in the United States Last YearWiiU Hardware Brings in 30 Million Dollars More Than Wii During First Six WeeksThe Difference Between “Shipped” And “Sold” Is Less Relevant Than You ThinkPublisher EA Calls Out the Flaws with NPDMicrosoft Ran Out of 360s?New Vegas Tops October SalesWii Controllers Selling Really WellPlaystation Move Sold 1 Million in 30 DaysUnconfirmed Halo: Reach First Week Sales NumbersRECENT REVIEWS7.0Ryse: Son of Rome3.0BattleCommand!7.5Mario Party: Island Tour8.0Stick It to the Man!6.5Contrast5.5Call of Duty: Ghosts7.0AquaPazza: AquaPlus Dream Match9.5The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds8.5Need for Speed: Rivals8.0Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior RECENT COMMENTS The sad thing is that i aint looking much forward the last of us dlc.... i already know what will happen and the ending....Arcana Wiz on Naughty Dog Promises Information on The Last of Us: Left Behind and Uncharted in the New Year · 6 minutes ago.... why you must make me curious sony????Arcana Wiz on Sony’s Adam Boyes “Lost His Mind” for an “Amazing” Upcoming PS4 Game after Getting a Sneak Peek · 7 minutes agoHe lost his mind?

 Whoa calm done, dont go full fanboy.

PlayStation division has lost over $8 billion since PS3 launched in November 2006.

The facts:
>FY 2007: $1,970,000,000 LOSS
>FY 2008: $1,079,000,000 LOSS
>FY 2009: $577,000,000 LOSS
>FY 2010: $889,000,000 LOSS
>FY 2011: $2,800,000,000 LOSS
>FY 2012: $1,100,000,000 LOSS

Total loss: $8,415,000,000

All figures come from Sony’s investor relations page - http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/index.html

 

You're wrong - those aren't just the gaming division numbers.

 

You are wrong, yes it is.

 

So I went ahead and got all of the numbers from the site you referenced and your original post is completely wrong.  They have definitely not lost more on the PS3 than they gained on the PS1/PS2.  Your numbers in the last post are correct but you only gave up through 2010Q2.  Since then things have improved.

Profit/loss in million yen.
Numbers for Game division unless noted

1995: -8,938
1996: 57,045
1997: 116,936
1998: 136,500
1999: 76,935
2000: -51,118
2001: 82,915
2002: 112,653
2003: 67,578
2004: 43,170
2005: 8,748
2006: -232,325
2007: -124,526
2008: -87,428 (Networked Products & Services)
2009: -55,506
2010: 48,494
2011: 29,302
2012: 1,735
2013: -15,577 (first 2 Quarters only)

Total: 206,593
Since 2006: -435,831

He's also wrong because for about 2 years, Sony lumped the gaming division in the consumer products division, which was already incuring losses.



yea.. but it's common knowledge that the gaming division within that consumer products division is in the black

3DS overtracked by 400K? Looks like I'll be winning my bets, afterall :)

You still never responded me in that thread for the bet. I guess you chose to ignore it afterall or you can still accept the bet here: Nintendo will ship 15M units in their fiscal year ending march 31st 2014. The bet is still up for grabs if you want.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

These are the info for the games division that we have access to (in billions of yen):

FY2006: -232.3
FY2007: -124.5
FY2008: - 58.5

FY2012 : 1.7
Q1 FY13: -14.8
Q2 FY13: -0.8

That's -4.16B USD but we do not know how it fared for FY2009, 2010 and 2011 but they would have been close to profitability during those years.
