How the company is doing as a whole?
Unless Sony somehow drops the ball on their image sensors business, they're on the right track.

People joke with all the Kaz gifs but his appointment as CEO of Sony was a really good move. He's made a lot of good decisions, I feel.
Oddly enough, aren't there rumours going around about Kaz being replaced by Kenchihiro Yoshida (Sony CFO) ?
Great for Sony! Am I reading this right or is Vita actually selling better YoY? I think that PS4 sales at the end of its life it will be roughly around 130 million since it ain't slowing down yet and I don't think it will do that for 2-3 years from now
Jeez, you're either really salty or you refuse to acknowledge that Sony is on the right track after years of making huge losses. But just to make it simple for you, Sony has been reducing their losses recently.LOL
Step outside the echo chamber and actually read some of the numbers -- not PS4 sales in the United States versus System X, but actual financials.
LOL

Here are some graphs and charts.
Here is my personal forecast for this calendar year-
As you can see, I over estimated Q1 sales and am concious that Q2 sales may be lower than 2.8m as well. I do however believe that Q3 and Q4 sales will make up the loss and total shipments by the end of 2015 will have reached 36 million. I am expecting a price cut for PS4 this year to fuel extra holiday sales.
PS4 forecast this fiscal year is 16 million units. Looking back historically, Sony have been conservative with shipment forecasts and therefore I expect them to beat this number.
Can we really predict a price cut for PS4 based on the reports?
Selling more consoles at a lower margin would be better long term right?
Anyway, incredible well-deserved numbers.
if Sony estimates more sold consoles but less operating income in the next year, the difference has to come from somewhere. Thus price cut.

CY 14Q2 had Watch_Dogs which definitely sold a good amount of consoles, it was at 8 million sold by July according to Ubisoft. Don't think 15Q2 has a title comparable in sale potential, unless I am underestimating Mortal Kombat.
To clarify, which financial figures are you referring to, G&NS, of Sony Corporation as a whole, and further to that, the current quarter or full fiscal year.
This and the standard bundle will do some really good numbers.

I'm still interested in seeing an answer to this.
Sony as a whole. Believe it or not, they can't sell SOE every quarter.

I guess we should all be in a "doom and gloom" mood like you are, then?"Just to make it simple for you"
i.e. Don't come to a Sony earnings thread if you're not in the mood to party. This is what I'm talking about.

daaaamn first time seeing this. That looks sexy...why now damn it. I won't have the spare cash to buy this until like October Then I won't probably find this, right? At least not for the regular price?
Also I'm really enjoying this Jholmes discussion that's going on. Hope he responds with a detailed answer
Here is my personal forecast for this calendar year-
becaue its using the actual sales, not the estimate.Total Estimate Sales from Dec 31 2014 to Mar 31 2015 doesn't add up? Went from 19.0 to 22.7 with 2.8 estimate sales for the Q?
Why would he start his 2015 prediction using the 2014 estimation as a base, knowing it's off by 900k consoles?Total Estimate Sales from Dec 31 2014 to Mar 31 2015 doesn't add up? Went from 19.0 to 22.7 with 2.8 estimate sales for the Q?
It's already sold out in pre-orders everywhere anyway.
