This is Nintendo's worst generation and one of Sony's finest, so I'm not exactly sure why this should come as news to anyone.
Nintendo:
Total sales - $4.65 billion
Total profit - $303 million (6.5% profit)
Sony:
Total game related sales - $13.72 billion ($4.69 billion from Network)
Total game related profit - $785 million (5.7% profit)
Game related sales vs Nintendo - +194%
Game related profit vs Nintendo - +159%
Total sales - $4.65 billion
Total profit - $303 million (6.5% profit)
Sony:
Total game related sales - $13.72 billion ($4.69 billion from Network)
Total game related profit - $785 million (5.7% profit)
Game related sales vs Nintendo - +194%
Game related profit vs Nintendo - +159%
Yeah, I'm amazed by the low numbers. 500 million yen is like 4,6 million dollars.
Edit: I can't be reading that right. Right?

PS4 did had Bloodborne last year this quarter and U4 was delayed... if Sony had launch U4 in March then it could be up.
Next quarter I expect to ship more than last year.
It's a typo. Should be billion yen, not million.
Yeah I think the only news here is how well the network related sales are doing. But overall sales for Sony vs Nintendo are the least you'd expect considering Nintendo and Sony's respective success in the console market at the moment.
Remember when Nintendo compared PS3 to the Balance Board?
Utterly savage - would be good to see a Wii U/Sony product comparison.
Wii U vs PSPGo?
Ah, that makes so much more sense.
Well done to them. Question is will Nintendo start charging for online multiplayer with the NX...?

They're comparing themselves to current Nintendo?
What a tough fight.
What a tough fight.
Margins are much better for Sony accounting for FX impact though (Sony count FX towards operating income/loss, Nintendo does not).
It's not ps4 vs WiiU but PSN versus the whole Nintendo Company.

So looks like they want PSVue to become a thing as well as PSN overall. Maybe they could start selling Music on PSN as well as Videos like Itunes.
Or does the music industry just do business with Itunes as the pioneers?
4-5 more years of this and Sony should be the healthy nimble company Kaz stated they would become. Good job righting the ship, happy to see a gamer CEO do it.
PS4 bundled with games is $350 here. So I expect a standalone model for $250 when PS4K comes in at $400 again. I think they would hit the target of selling 18 mil units again with those two models on the market, but they really have to nail the PS4K marketing, another February event maybe in order?

I hope not but I wouldn't put it past them with the new management and all. I'll only bite if they get their shit together with their network and have some kind of bonus.
I might be mistaken, but it seems like they might have an agreement or partnership with Spotify(?)

Nintendo's business isn't just the WiiU. This is comparing PSN to ALL of Nintendo.

It's pretty obvious that the paid system is working for them and they are making a ton of money out of it. No chance in hell they will offer free online like with the PS3.

A miserable pile of secrets.
No, Sony is comparing themselves to Microsoft, Nintendo and Steam. Tough fight indeed.

_/¯I don't see what difference it makes since, either way, it'll be trash for you.

Of course they are investing in the network, like everyone else on the planet who runs one, even(?) the free ones like Steam and Nintendo. People keep posting/suggesting they are charging for online to improve the Network. Question was, do they invest the PS Plus money in improving the network or is that mostly for simply getting more income/buying licensing for PS Plus lineup etc
Common sense says its for all three, it's not very complicated.

PS4 is such a beast not even neogaf nogames narrative can bring it down. We've been beaten!

not sure it's good to limit yourself. Why not have Apple Music, Google Music, Tidal and be platform agnostic?
Unless Spotify is giving them a good cut or something, PS music is a free app through Spotify, It's basically just PS marketing.
