Someone think it won't?
Sales are holding steady in the calm before the storm. Sony has raised the Profit Forecast from 170 to 180 Bln Yen for FY17. Gran Turismo Sport, Spiderman, and God of War all coming out this year should sell extreamly well. An increase in PS+ subscribers, and the price leveling in the EU will help as well. PS Vue gaining access to most Major Local Broadcast by years end, which will make it very easy to transition cable users to the OTT service, giving Sony a huge boost in revenue, while saving consumers $1,000's a year.
Sony now expects G&NS to be the most profitable division in the company, and that gap will only continue to grow from here on out. With that will come the presure to continue to grow from investors. As I have said before, more form factors/devices built on the PlayStation OS and PlayStation Network need to hit the market to continue to drive the growth of the ecosystem. It will be very interesting to see how Sony plans to continue to grow as the reach the limits of the home console market. Simply sustaining the current consumer base will not sit well with share holders, and will damage their turn around.
Overall Q1 was a great success, and shows that Sony can back up its profit projections. All divisions look to have sorted out their issues, and the company looks to be heading towards growth and stability. Decisions made now will determine whether they can continue this for years to come, or if this will just fizzile out. Hopefully, they look to what is succeeding, and try to emulate that across all division of the company.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
