I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
It's because of $1b goodwill impairment
it's like Sony Pictures "burned" 10x more money in 3 months than Stig Asmussen in 3 years
no. that's Home Entertainment & Sound (HE&S)
The Components segment includes batteries and recording media.

Why? It's got a lot of potential and great companies under their umbrella like Columbia and MGM. Next Bond movie will make them tons of money!

Well thats good.
LOL "Recording media." Sony spent over a decade trying to shove Memory Sticks down our throats. All for nothing...

They have the Feb security update out before Google XDI want Sony's phone division to do better
recording media is their dvd/cd factories, they are probably biggest in the world...
they seem to be getting in a great shape... right now Sony Mobile is one of the few companies making profit on phones (except for Samsung and Apple)... LG, HTC are all losing money, and Xiaomi is likely too.
This is why it is rumored they will have 5 new phones coming at MWC.

it seems Colin wasn't right
Doesn't prove him wrong tho. We don't have number breakdown. He might say PS4 could hit same target without Pro.
Steam estimated number is for full-game downloads only , DLC/mt/F2P not included .
PSN includes full-game downloads,DLC/mt,F2P,PS+ subs,music and video.

actually, that's only Sony's cut and royalties (except 1st party content of course and PS+ subs).
it seems Colin wasn't right
what did he say this time?
the entire console digital business in 2016 is around $6-7B .No way its only sony's cut my friend , it's total revenue of products sold.
You must be thinking of retail royalties .

This Sony Pictures situation is tragic. Like what the hell are they doing?

Aside from Spider-Man they have NOTHING. They might even lose James Bond soon.

Bad films with Adam Sandler.
Financing stupid movies
Thanks for that. Otherwise I wouldn't have seen this beaut.

It will never stop being funny how much some people are blinded by the huge difference in importance that the US market has for Microsoft compared to Sony.
Their situation is bad because they have not been able to make hits recently. The Ghostbusters flop was really bad for them and the fact that Kaz Hirai moved to California to personally handle the restructuring of the business means they're taking this seriously.
But people are not reading that the big loss recorded at the Pictures division is due to a goodwill impairment charge.
It's a one-time charge due to the fact that the goodwill value of the division declared on their balance sheet since long ago, surpasses the current fair market value based on the expected future success and profits at that particular division, so they had to take an impairment charge.
Sony's stock is up almost 6% today so overall the financial results were well received by the market on the prospect of future profitability now that this ''burdens'' have been accounted for.

GoW will probably be March 2018
I'm ok with that, I think this year with some 3rd party games is stacked. One thing I love that Sony have been doing for the past few years is releasing big titles the first few months in a year.
Really helps getting through the winter and spring with a handful of good games to come home to after work.

Criminal the fuck-ups they made with that franchise. I'm a long-time comics reader and it's crazy how Iron Man, who was a lesser chacter in terms of comic book popularity historically, is like the biggest Marvel franchise of them all (for a single character). Spiderman should be way bigger.

Pictures is like a black hole that eated gaming , financial and music divisions...
Part of the reason for the huge losses is the colossal flop that was the Ghostbusters reboot.

Hmmm it seems likely they sold more in that quarter than Xbox One did that whole year. You don't see Shawn or anyone at Sony pointing out they are selling way more with pictures of pallets like Greenberg. They should have more classy PR like Sony rather than gloating and embarrassing themselves.
SPE didn't lose $960m in one quarter, it's a consolidation (book operations).
http://deadline.com/2017/01/sony-pictures-962-million-charge-film-division-write-down-1201897260/
They're recording it now, I imagine, because
1) results are so good elsewhere that the charge doesn't tank the whole company
2) major changes are afoot, possibly in the very structure of the company (spin off?)

Baby Driver man!
The Dark Tower and The Equalizer 2 will probably do pretty well. Spider-Man should do over a billion.
Both Underworld and RE did good (and will be likely rebooted within the next 3 years), Smurfs will do good with kids, Life looks great and has a decent star appeal, Emoji movie could go either way...dunno.
When including Spider-Man, and the Dark Tower... Could be a good year.

Didn't realize Baby Driver was Sony. They'll have the second best film of the year then after Blade Runner 2049, which they're distributing overseas

Probably a bit of both. Without the impairment they would've beat the previous fiscal year income forecasts by a lot.
With all of the clear data available to show how console sales are trending globally, people still make posts like this. You only have yourself to blame for looking stupid after making that kind of post. Microsoft is definitely improving, but just accept that there really isn't much of a race left this generation. Rooting for console sales to be healthy is great, but just be realistic about it.Collin post if you're okay

I don't get it either. It is like there is still some sort of disconnect when discussing this sort of thing in different threads.
"WW sales aren't relevant in this thread"
The thread may not be specifically about WW sales and what not but I just don't think it is wise to speculate on matters without that huge context. Based on singular Japan or UK data, for example, Slim/Pro was underwhelming, flop, etc... With the WW context, they are performing just fine and even above Sony's expectations in the case of the Pro.

This not only includes CD/DVD/BD manufacture as already stated, but also magnetic tape media which is still used for plenty of offline backups. It can't be beat for cost and reliability for anybody needing to meet permanent data retention requirements.
I'll be interested in what they show up with. My Z3 is still kicking, but getting a little aged.
Agreed.
I seriously didn't know who iron man was when I saw the trailers. I kept thinking of ultra man.
Yea that 70 million by the end of the year was definitely a conservative estimate looking at all this.
Where did you pick 75% for global market? I mean Overwatch alone did 600m, that's #5 on the list
Destiny 2 will shake the pillars of the earth
