And X1 is making a turnaround so Sony won't make a profit this year anyway.

Why is it so obvious to see when a user is salty like you are? It's like some people just refuse to accept that Sony really did do quite well this quarter.

Also how would that supposed X1 turnaround stop Sony from making a profit this year (if they were projecting one to begin with)?


Sony won't make a profit, X1 will eat from their sales.

Game division is not enough, Sony should just call it quits.


The last time I checked the 180 was being pounded into the dirt and the price cut did very little to help solve the problem. Face reality, the 180 is completely irrelevant to every market outside of the USA and even there it's falling into second place.

I added the italic to make your comment more accurate.

The bolded actually makes it worse for MS. The company makes so much profit every quarter and despite Sony losing money yearly, MS still can't beat Sony in console gaming? Heck, even on MS's home turf, it is getting beaten by a significant margin and the Kinectless SKU only proved to be a temporary patch.

@ Bolded. The best X1 can do is "eat" sales in the US. Everywhere else, it has no chance. Europe and Japan are lost causes for the X1.

@ Italics. That's what a lot of naysayers have been singing for years, but Sony is still here and they made a profit this quarter. The results proved that Sony is capable of making profits and now it's question of can they do it consistently.

Sony is probably shocked that the PS4 is doing THIS well. I hope that they see that it's getting closer to the time to move to stage two : get the price to $299 and open the mass market up. Probably not in 2014, but no later than fall 2015. SO many more gamers buy in at that price point, and it also translates into better international sales, as the EU/Asia prices are often crazy high compared to discretionary income.

Why would they be shocked? They have been one of the best, if not the best selling consoles since the release of Playstation. Granted they came in second last gen behind the Wii but the Wii had the right innovation at the right time and captured the market.

PS4 is a start, but it alone won't do them much good.

The most important hardware they have in their arsenal is their Android phones, and they really have to find a way to make them work in NA.
