Good, now do the same for the rest of your company so you can stop trying to go into the real-estate business

Its all the Vita's fault I tells ya!!!

Hey its not all Vitas fault. They also have no legs on GT6, DriveClub still isnt out and other games currently in development... Vita is just mostly to blame =P



Good I was not hurting Sony when I bought my PS4 yesterday. I feel all warm and bubbly inside.

All those millions they are paying to the gaming journalists.

Probably because of all the 1st party AAA games in development.

Point? There is a lot mroe to that then just making a profit off each PS4 sold.......Economics can be complex, they made a profit in 2013 holiday, they will again next quarter on ps4, not as a whole but the gaming division.

You are not getting enough attention, yo!!!!   T

he Vita is a parasite to the otherwise great PS4. That and it was a small loss much better than many years after the PS3 came out.

It didn't launch last quarter.  

I think this refers to the ps4 platform rather than the device itself. 

it was remodeled

In this day and age, with the Internet, ignorance is a choice! And they're still choosing Ignorance! - Dr. Filthy Frank

Damn that quote got popular. Soooo many possible explanations!

Personally, I think PS+ plays a role, as well as marketplace revenue, not just the hardware by itself. But alas, it still has a ways to go to make the entire division profitable, maybe next quarterly results.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
