*sigh*...nvm.. I dont care anymore... What till i actually read it... the comment

So microsoft claims that the "overall gaming division" is more profitable than Nintendo.



.............................right.

its not that bad considering its sony's weakest region this gen, PS3 hardware and software revenue is going up so thats good, PS2 is going down as expected, PSP isn't even on the list..

@Bamboleo

there gaming division isn't just XBOX 360, it includes ZUNE and other brands.. idk which but that's all I know, so it wouldn't be suprising.

Sony claimed $5.1b in USA video game revenue. This is how I would imagine it split roughly -

Playstation HW ~ $2.1b

PS3 HW Est - (1.4m * $400) + (2.9m * $300)  ~$1.4b

PSP HW Est - (1.4m * $170) + (1.1m * $200)  ~$0.5b

PS2 HW Est - (0.3m * $130) + (1.5m * $100)  ~$0.2b

Accessories ~ $0.45b

Playstation SW ~ $2.6b

PS3 SW E: $40 * 45m ~$1.8b

PS2 SW E: $25 * 20m  ~$0.5b

PSP SW E: $20 * 15m  ~$0.3b

I wonder if Sony can turn around the PSP. I think a price drop could sustain the system for a while.

They should've price dropped alongside the slim, in time for their major software revival last year (GT, Soulcalibur, LBP, Dissidia, Motorstorm, etc).  A $149 or even $129 PSP-3000 might've been able to at least sustain previous US sales and maybe all those AAA games wouldn't have bombed.  Next year it may be too late, but they probably have at least one last 2nd shot this summer (with MGS PW, KH BBS, Valkyria 2, MH Village, etc, releasing).

GO was laughably overpriced too (should've been $199 at most), but retail was going to make sure that model died no matter what.

PS3 only netted 75m in NA software?...................That's... no comment.

units eh

$1.3 billion decline is made worse by the fact that it's only one region...

Do you think overall revenue grew in other regions?

...how is losing revenue an issue at all? Selling less units at a cheaper price... oh my... its unforseen!
