What's the actual source? Sony's financials?

 

[DKHF]

Well done Sony. It will be interesting to see how sales are when Neo is introduced.

 

[Auto_aim1]

What's the actual source? Sony's financials?

Yup.

Sony's PlayStation Network sales hit 529 million yen which means that PSN generated more revenue than the whole of Nintendo (504m yen).

Welp.

PS4 is a Beast

We did it bros!

 

[Bare Grills]

Beast is a PS4

 

[Obliterator]

....Holy shit. Also not surprised to see that number rising. Digital is surging hard

 

[darkwing]

PS4 is a beast, but what is Neo

 

[Newtype-001]

Yup.

Welp.

😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰

Edit: whew that was close

[dragonflys545]

Wow... Crazy, feel bad for Nintendo. But they mess up big time.

 

[KZObsessed]

This is even more impressive than the shipment numbers. Damn.

 

[Fuchalmania]

Good to hear they are doing well. Wonder how they will report it once the PS4.5 drops. Sum of both or split figures?

 

[Hydrargyrus]

So around 39 million sold through...


Indeed, is a beast!

 

[Chinner]

We did it bros!

We've made it big, boys.

 

[Methamatics101]

Holy shit. I never would've expected that. Good for Sony though.

 

[allan-bh]

2.3m in Q4 is the worst quarter for PS4 since launch, but 40 million at this point is amazing of course.

[PeakPointMatrix]

I remember when people thought the WiiU's tepid launch signaled the beginning of the end of the console industry, and the PS4/X1 were going to crater accordingly.

lol

 

[1st Course]

Gaming profit ~2x compared to last year

+ mobile losses significantly down.

This is good.

 

[Bgamer90]

This is even more impressive than the shipment numbers. Damn.

Agree. I expected the PS4 to reach 40 Million around this time (close to the middle of 2016).

 

[Shambala]

I said God damn😳

 

[KamiCrit]

Wow that ultimate disrespect.

Spoiler

As in reading the market and selling what the consumer wants to buy.

I really hope this is a warning call to Nintendo to get things in gear. That's probably why they're holding out to get all their ducks lined up.

Really goes to show the power of digital eh.

 

[Sayad]

Sony should really rethink forced subscription for online play, PSN is obviously big enough to generate profit without it now and as much as it increase their profit, it's also driving some users away on the long run, the same goes for MS.

 

[boingball]

Congrats Sony, I guess. It might reach PSP sales before it gets phased out (PS4k this year as the premium console and PS8k next year making the PS4k the low end console).

Damn.

Man the ps4 has been a runaway success for Sony. Charging for multiplayer is really paying off for Sony. They can at least thank Microsoft for that cash cow.

 

[TimPV3]

If we went back to 2007, this would probably be the most unbelievable thing we could tell them

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Someone in Europe must have purchased a single game from PSN to make those numbers.

 

[Drencrom]

Wow, that's an eye opener...

Pretty sure you'd be fired for incompetence for even suggesting that in a Sony board room.

 

[Dougieflesh]

Digital gonna keep gaining momentum. Crazy about it's growth YoY

 

[GhostTrick]

Does it include PS+ subscriptions ?

 

[hodayathink]

Retailers have to be shaking in their boots when they read stuff like this.

a.k.a. Gamestop am cry.

 

[Shambalakan]

40 million PS4 shipped and still not a single gameplay video of GT...

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Gaming profit ~2x compared to last year

+ mobile losses significantly down.

This is good.

God dam that FY14 compared to FY15 is crazy.

 

[Bare Grills]

Come to think of it, that's not even that much

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Is it me or is this a low number: $5.25 million ?

 

[GhostWriter24]

Does anyone actually doubt Neo won't sell well? It's going to be great.

We ain't never ever going back to the old PS3 online model.

 

[Obliterator]

Yeah it's skyrocketing. A major major shift for the industry.

Um, that's probably exactly why these figures are what they are.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

No reason not to release 4K. They can do whatever they want,

 

[banagher]

Yen.

There's absolutely zero evidence to support this claim. If what you said even had a remote chance of happening, you would have seen PSN numbers flatline long ago. Especially considering the userbase was coming from a free online platform.

Aligning the time lines, this is on the right path to be a bigger plunder than GT5 on PS3, in terms of delays at least. Just why did GT have to be my favorite Sony in house IP.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Congrats Sony!
