Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony financial results Q1 FY15, 663 million $ profit, PS4 ships 3 million

My guess is PS3 shipments are probably on par or only slightly down from last quarter. Anyone have those numbers?

Amazing shipments! Major adjustment incoming? :)

I shouldn't think so. Once VGC puts up it's final week (half week) for the quarter it should leave only about 1.4 million on shelves. The rate PS4 is selling, and the number of markets that stock is spread across 1.4 million head room is within reason. 1.4 million head room for Wii U or Xb one would be stupid, but for PS4 it's OK. Could be as low as 1 million but not lower than that without possibly running in to isolated pockets of supply issues.

With the shipments calculating out to over 25 million now I don't think Sony will announce 25 million sell through. They will wait until 30 million, which they should reach before the end of the year, so they will be able to announce it before the end of the December quarter. PS3 took over 3 years to get to 30 million, PS4 could sneak it in there in just under 2, though more likely it will be a few weeks past 2 years that it hits 30 million.

PS3 shipped 400k last month, and it might be about flat this quarter.

That's what I just said.


so around 24.5 million is 24 - 25 million for you?
okay then...

around 24.5 million is 24.5 million +/- 0.2 for me
and imho the sold through is around 24 million. so between 38.8 and 24.2 million

23.8 perhaps?

25.3 millions shipped the 30 june 2015.

Vgchartz is at 23.8 the 27th, so let's say 24 for the 30th.

It let 1.3 millions shipped on retailers ? A little too high maybe.

Regional shops received a shitton of 1G CU11xx PS4s in the past weeks. I can easily see >=1.5M on shelves if other countries were also bombarded. At the same time, the old CU11xx models were/are heavily discounted to get rid of that old model.

It's kinda funny to have a quarter in which Sony makes a good profit while MS loses money, wonder how long it'll take to have that repeat itself. :D

Are the first two facts for Q1 (i.e. April, May, Jun)? That would be surprising to me. The third point is an assumption and the 4th is false, I don't think we had supply issues in April, May, Jun last year.

Not surprise PS4 is really doing way better this year than last year.

The 4th points was confirmed in some countries... Germany for example didn't have PS4 until early June last year... it was sold out and every new shipment was sold in minutes.

3 million PS4 is way better than I expected.

Amazing performance for Q1.



ethomaz on 30 July 2015

Ohhhhh Sony increased the PS4 forecast.

16 to 16.5m

I can see they increasing again in Jan/Feb to 17m or 17.5m.
