You can't make the Vita cheaper than PSTV.. SURELY?

PSTV is going for $40 and cheaper in some places, so even at $89 it wouldn't close.


Im aware, but I'm talking about the RRP. The RRP for the Vita can't be below PSTV, well it can it just wouldn't make sense.

I specifically said they were "losing millions", not that they were being sold "at a loss". Between the writeoff and declining PS3 sales, the PS4 is what is pulling in money for the division. 


They arent. They are making a profit. You are only looking at the expenses and ignoring that the units sold made revenue that resulted in profit.

228-93= +135m in profit!


thats wrong.

sony made an operating loss of 10.7 billion yen for the playstation divison last quarter

 

btw: operating income is already without depreciation

If that was a serious and non firesale price point. Marketing with stuff like Disney Infinite 2.0 and Invizimals it would probably actually start to make some ground on the 3DS.

So it's not going to happen.

I'm sure those 93 million dont account for 10 billion. From the operating numbers you linked, nothing leads to believe that there was a loss. I can only assume it comes from other expenses.

I find it hard to believe that the Playstation division had a loss of 10 billion with the PS4 beeing a smashing sucess though. Did they aquire some studio or something?

Pricecut wont be happening this soon. This article nails it. Why cut profit if you are ahead. Xbox 360 had this advantage. This gen PS4 has it.
