Forums - Sony - PS4 Hardware already profitable, PS4 PSN+ exceeds 3.5M, Sony to focus less on HW and more on SW and services

This is great news for Sony. There were already reports of the PS4 possibly having its internals changed to reduce manufacturing costs even further (http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/05/21/new-ps4-and-ps3-models-possibly-outed-by-certification-request-filed-by-sony/ ). I'm quite surprised that profitability in hardware has been achieved so quickly and it's good because Sony has one less thing to worry about.


I saw that... great thing, was posted in a thread here.

I just hope they don't forget to give us value if they want to chase profits. Increase the value of PS+ to get more subscribers not charge subscribers more money.


Yes, the way to go is increase value not price.

Hope this will result in an awesome future for PlayStation (even though Sony itself is not doing so hot )

I guess we can call PS3 a lesson learned.
