Has this been brought up again? I have multiple arcade sticks/ps4 controllers so this would be amazing on top of building on a already large library of games. Also I can finally let my ps4 pro die. My god is that thing loud.
Don't Ditch Your DualShock 4; It Will Be PlayStation 5 Compatible
Fresh speculation suggests the PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 will be compatible with Sony's upcoming next-generation PlayStation 5.www.ccn.com
Not really double, more like 60% more, that's closer to 50% than 100%...The analyst noted PSN's $12.5 billion is "higher than Nintendo's total revenue for 2018." Sony's network also beat out Microsoft's gaming division last year, which generated $11.5 billion, according to Ahmad.
Only PSN made $12.5B in 2019, but the Playstation division:
At $18.72 billion overall, 2019 was the second-biggest year in revenue for PlayStation, including hardware, software, and all revenues earned through the division. That was down from 2018's $20.43 billion, but up from $16.77 billion in 2017.
Sony Made over $12 Billion Through PSN in 2019, its Second Biggest Year for Revenue - PlayStation LifeStyle
Sony made more than $12B in PSN revenue in 2019, including from sales of digital games and add-ons, as well as subscription service memberships.www.playstationlifestyle.net
So Playstation is making around double what Xbox Division making with all its services and sales.
The companies as a whole:
Sony $78B
Microsoft $110B
Microsoft is bigger but less diverse, and benefiting from PC monopoly at the moment until Chrome OS matures + Harmony OS (Huawei) hit the market and share some of that space.
Sony gaming division is not the most profitable branch anyway, but they are top/high-end on most of their branches in terms of quality and seems to be seeking car making in the near future.

The problem is that some Sony divisions have losses such as smartphones and Tvs if i am right. Playstation is their cashcow at the moment and that mostly thanks to some huge mistakes by Microsoft in 2013. Couldn't find a number, what was Sonys total revenue 2019? Microsoft had 126 billion dollars.The analyst noted PSN's $12.5 billion is "higher than Nintendo's total revenue for 2018."

Are you sure that Sony’s gaming division is not the most profitable? I thought it was for a while now.The analyst noted PSN's $12.5 billion is "higher than Nintendo's total revenue for 2018."

Did they sponsor it or just use the advertising boards?About the Super Bawl, Sony is more invested into a more globally-dominant sport, which is Football.
The world's most-watched annual sporting event was aired in more than 200 countries – an estimated global average audience in the region of 165 million (and a projected global unique reach of 380 million viewers) tuning in to see Real Madrid CF fight back to defeat Club Atlético de Madrid 4-1 after extra time.
Sony is sponsoring it:
Doesn't mean Super Bawl is irrelevant, but they might be asking too much for much less. So if they would advertise it through sports it should pop-up first in the UEFA Champions League, and probably around the final when it gets most of the attention in an existing contract already.
No, they recovered. All divisions are profitable.
You make it sound like Sony focus only on important selective matches, which is not the case, Sony do sponsor CHAMPIONS LEAGUE (most important-most watched) competition in football.About the Super Bawl, Sony is more invested into a more globally-dominant sport, which is Football.

That chart shows Imaging at 26 % and Playstation at 22 %. Not the best start.Not really sure, only according to some Youtubers and some random charts:
I should search further because this is only Q2.

Sony imaging business is massive they make the cameras for the iPhone etc they currently make the best full frame and APSC cameras on the market. They absolutely dominate the imaging space. It makes total sense imaging makes more.That chart shows Imaging at 26 % and Playstation at 22 %. Not the best start.

Yeah Sony's mirrorless (and DSLR) cameras are top of the line, very innovative and in many ways superior to Canon and Nikon. And like you said, the sensors! Truly great tech.Yes, are you aware that Sony has already dethroned Canon and Nikon? Plus it owns more than 50% of camera sensors around the globe, including nearly all smartphones?
It's been providing sensors for Nikon cameras for decades anyway.
Didn't expect them being so close at revenues, but at profit it's more clear. I think it's 7,5 billion vs 43 billion in 2019. Good for Sony, the years before the PS4 were dark. They make really good tvs and cameras. Love my Xf9005 and my Alpha 68.
Well, Xbox fans seem to think it's a crime to say both are practically equal.
Nope, what I see here is Sony fans suggesting they're ok with SX having the tiny edge, but if someone, insider or not, comes and says PS5 has the edge, hell breaks loose among Xbox fans and another round of GitHub leaks and no RT discussions begin.
There is no console war. It's Microsoft vs. Googe and Amazon
That's the difference between a hardware company like Sony and a software company like Microsoft. Profit margins on hardware are around 5 to 10 %. Profit margins on software are 30+ %.
Please elaborate. The only world news is corona virus epidemic in China, which might affect the production of many electronic products.
Are you ok with XSX having a huge edge? Just theoretically. Because I really don't care. I will buy an XSX for Forza Horizon 5 and I will buy a PS5 for GT. I'd actually be pised if they are both close to one another, because that means buying two identical pieces of hardware just to play their respective games.
But

already said that previously, why bring it up again? It could be just to emphasis more on it or he could be being cryptic so wanted to clear it out
State of Play reveal due to coronavirus confirmed!!!
No indeed, Sony definitely isn't a midget company. Here is a breakdown and explanation of their business based on their latest earnings. On the bottom you can see their 3 major businesses.
We know Sony is a successful company. You just got here, no need to shill for them.

Welcome. Nice to have you here. Your gaming adventure is almost similar to mine, except I started with Pong, then Atari 2600, Family Computer, Mega Drive, PS1, PS2 etc. Also the closest I got to Oman was Fujairah. Went for a ride on a mountainous area, and at one point I thought I entered Oman

Besides the big name sources, many people believe that it would be impossible for Oberon to have RT and VRS capabilities, which we’ve heard the PS5 will have. I think more and more that Github was just a misleading monkey wrench thrown into this discussion.Yes I believe you, this is what he told me, I believe in Colbert more than these unnamed sources like Jason Schreier or Mark Cerny lying to us about Hardware RT YOOO!!
Yes, it is. Sorry if I didn't make it clear. It's been there since more than a decade:
