and which ignores the fact that ms had too much supply after last quarter and sony needed to restock after last quarter.

 

 So basically, MS completely overestimated sales of their consoles, meanwhile Sony needed to restocks badly. How is this a bad thing for Sony at all and why are you trying to make up pathetic excuses for MS as to why they had a terrible quarter?

No matter what spin you try to put on it, MS console is selling like shit and everything they have tried to do up to now hasn't done anything. 

 

 

Which is still not the topic of this thread....but who am I kidding the reddit thread has also already turned into "look how much the PS4 is beating the X1".

oh and to put things into perspective:

3.5m PS3+4 shipped vs 1.1m 360/XB1 in the same quarter. 

So as I said in previous thread, MS have too many Xbox one consoles in the channel and new kinectless xbox one did absolutely nothing. 

Jesus, the PS4 is just absolutely sh***ing on the X1. I think Europe is a lost cause for the X1 at this point.....

Even better one for you:

1.1M 360/XB1 + 0.6M Wii/Wii U = 1.7M < 3.5M PS3/PS4

In fact... PS3 & PS4 together outsold the combined sales of 360, XB1, Wii, and Wii U by a ratio of 2:1. This is really the return of PlayStation as king.

Now Sony needs to stop throwing the Vita under the bus (in the west). It's a great system, in my opinion, but it deserves more than just a bunch of indies.

So this went from being a Financials thread

to a dick measuring contest.

What do you expect people to compare it to then? Obviously people are going to compare it to its direct competitor. It is a sales thread.

Nice! Glad to see that Sony has managed to surprise me pleasantly!

Why compare it at all? And it's a thread about Sonys financials not only about their PS4 sales.

Exactly. If not, is there another thread where one can discuss this (the comparisons)

85 million software sales (PS3 + PS4 + PSP + Vita) according to Sony (retail + digital)
26.2 million software sales (PS3 + PS4 + PSP + Vita) according to VGC (only retail)

Digital vs. Retail 2:1 or retail sales undertracked?

Feel free to start one.

I gotta say the Gaming Division posting a 43 million dollar profit right now is impressive.

1. The PS4 is costing them more to produce now than it ever will. As time passes they can get manufacturing cheaper and a higher profit margin on the hardware.

2. They've released very few heavy hitting 1st party software title's lately. Once big stuff like Uncharted hits it will help.

3. There are a TON of big 3rd party games on the way. Sony will make some nice money off of them.

overall things are looking very good for Sony on the gaming side.
