I don't think you have been paying attention, but it's second coming of JRPGs.
They're the reason why I'm going to eventually get a next-gen console. I've been paying attention!
Just need some to release first.

this is great news for Sony and the PS4 but at the user level the network problems are really starting to become almost a weekly occurrence. I think they really need to invest in some network infrastructure if they haven't already.
doesn't really belong in a sales thread but I think a strong network can put many potential users fears to rest amid all the problems that keep popping up.
Sony plans to raise $3.4 billion selling stock and convertible bonds to help pay for a fourfold increase in semiconductor spending as it also invests in video game network services and virtual reality gear.
Their Devices (Image sensors) side is doing quite well too.
There should be 40million PS4 in consumer hands in time for Morpheus.
I think Sony is aware of the problems.
Bloomberg
Sony increased their forecast for PS4 shipments this year from 16 million to 16.5 million which means that they expect 38.8 million PlayStation 4's to be sold in worldwide by March 31st 2016.
Nah, We'll get updates at big milestones or during holiday and stuff.

You serious? Monsters like the PS4, PS1, Wii, and PS2 happen when you actually listen to consumers, build the right hardware, put together a consistent software lineup and market it appropriately. Sony hit on all three points. The Wii is the sole outlier in the sense that it was catering to a far more mainstream audience, but it was still brilliantly designed and supported by interesting software (at least for the first 2 or 3 years of the console's life). The Wii lacked the traditional long tail of high quality mixed software support from third parties and first parties. It would have gone further than 100 million if it had that support.Absolutely no idea how & why this is happening, but I'm glad Sony have a hit on their hands.
Anyway. You guys should know that PS4 sold better this quarter than Xbox One + Xbox 360 + Wii U + Wii + 3DS combined....
So Ps4 just shook off a big Xbone price cut as well as no major exclusives on the horizon (though Bloodborne launched in this timeframe right? Guess that helped), and continued to crush Xbox.
Wow.
The iPhone 6+ (and 6) is probably one of the best things to happen to Sony's bottom line.
where are VITA Numbers.. ??
OMG! PERFECTION!
Wow!Anyway. You guys should know that PS4 sold better this quarter than Xbox One + Xbox 360 + Wii U + Wii + 3DS combined....
well to be fair, 3rd parties still have the most true system sellers. But yeah, Sony has those deals sewn up too it seems. Batman, MGS5, Battlefront and Assassin's Creed bundles this year? whoa...
But yes, in regards to Sony's WWS, the three heavy hitters that has the greatest potential to spike hardware sales is unquestionably Uncharted 4, Gran Turismo 7, and God of War 4. I do expect SFV to be a hit as well.
It seems like Sony is destined to beat PS3 numbers at this rate. I'm curious how much the revised PS4 model will increase profit margin per unit, if any.
All console sales from 6th gen on have, in fact, been in preparation for FF7R.Seems as if the gaming market sniffed out a FF7 remake was on the horizon and purchased a PS4 several years in advance in anticipation.
Maybe they over shipped because of Rocket League
...And Rocket League.This was overshipping in anticipation of the Rocket League demand.

Jesus Fucking Christ this chart. Ps4 is actually outpacing it's world conquering older brother, the great Ps2.
Which I'm actually kind of disappointed by, because as much as I love my Ps4, they haven't earned those sales the way Ps2 did with exclusives lol.
My guess would be a 25m sold announcement at Paris Games Week?
LOL! He actually did one of those hot pepper reviews?
Gotta wonder what the numbers will be at by the end of fiscal year 2016 I mean next year has a fuck load of exclusives, Morpheus, we might get a Slim and the price will definitely be lower than it is now.
If Sony manages to give the PS4 a nice price cut this holiday the rest of the Generation is in the bag.
I'm curious as well. I doubt there will be a price drop this year, so they'll probably slog through the holidays while MS has another one of their firesales. I think next year will be huge for PS4 though.
"haven't earned"?
What am I reading.

Shhhhh.....
There is no update for legacy devices
Even if i did agree with you about exclusives(i don't by the way), exclusives arent the only thing to 'earn' sales. Focusing on the core product with games people want to buy, that they think the system is worth purchasing for is the only real deciding factor.
For all the Japanese support and mainstream third party western support, and their own IP's that they are growing, they deserve the success in my estimation.
Now, the only thing they could do is fix/expand the OS features and their online server issues.
If they don't drop the price this year they will at least be doing some good deals for the holidays.
The generation is already in the bag regardless of a price-cut or not. And it's Sony's.
If PS4 is siting at 25 million sold through by Paris Games Week than it would mean that they had very bad couple of months. Like shockingly bad.
