    Analysis Matt Piscatella: PS5 unit sales are trending 7% ahead of PS4, and 66% ahead of PS3 launch-aligned in the US

    WTF are you talking about? Spider Man 2 only exists on the PS5 and it sold 10 million copies until February. 1 out of every 5 people with a PS5 bought that game, and that's counting with me who bought the game on disc and then lent it to my friends. 10 million copies in 4 months is selling like...

    News Despite Helldivers 2 success, Sony misses PC revenue target by about 20%

    My guess is back in early 2023 when they were making the projections, they were counting with revenue from Last of Us Online starting in Q4 2023. I doubt they had great expectations from Helldivers 2, considering the original game's success and the fact that it only sold for the last 6 weeks of...

    Analysis Matt Piscatella: PS5 unit sales are trending 7% ahead of PS4, and 66% ahead of PS3 launch-aligned in the US

    So your thesis is that retailers have tens or hundreds of PS5 consoles sitting on shelves or warehouses? Past volume numbers like 20 million units / year, what do you think the percent difference between shipped and sold to customers will be?

    Playstation Sony FY2023 Earnings Announcement: 4.5M PS5 sold in Q4 (20.8M in FY2023, 59.2M LTD). Allocating 11.5 billion in future acquisitions.

    There's no need to sue because they never said the PS5 sells at a loss. They only mention losses on hardware due to promotions.

    Playstation PS Plus Revenue Is on the Up Following 2022's Multi-Tiered Overhaul

    So just like Netflix, the loss in subscriptions was largely offset by the price hike. Can't say I'm happy about that.

    While "creative accounting" is certainly Gamepass' second, third and fourth names, I'm not sure how Sony can be creative at altering unit sales reported by a 3rd party. How dare they, being wrong by 3%.

    Yet this isn't true for the most expensive ICs, though. The cost for TSMC's N7 and N6 waffers went down and yields went way up compared to what was in 2020, and so did the cost per-GB of GDDR6. Sure, that may have been partially offset by the cost of logistics, but I doubt it happened to the...

    News Stellar Blade’s devs Address censorship claims. |UP| Devs state outfit redesigns weren't censorship but intentional.

    I also thought it was strange to assume it happened because of Sony, considering we still got skimpier outfits than the ones getting extra layers of clothes. Like the Prototype or Black Pearl. OTOH I also don't get why they put those extra clothes on a patch... surely they thought people would...

    News SAINTS ROW (2022) SOLD 1.7 MILLION UNITS BEFORE VOLITION’S CLOSURE

    I would question even those 1.7 million units. More likely, that guy has access to some dashboard that counts the number of keys being activated and that number probably reaches 1.7 million very easily if it's counting all the activations from when the game was offered on PS Plus and on the...

    Nintendo Do you think Switch 2 will get better third party support?

    No, it won't. Don't mind the sub-par hardware that will hardly reach even half of the Series S' performance, Nintendo has a history of treating 3rd parties like crap and that hasn't changed one bit. Nintendo had the Super Switch scheduled to release in Q4 2024 (after delaying it for 2 years)...

    Playstation Sony FY2023 Earnings Announcement: 4.5M PS5 sold in Q4 (20.8M in FY2023, 59.2M LTD). Allocating 11.5 billion in future acquisitions.

    The fact that Sony managed for the PS5 to almost keep up with the PS4 sales while not only refusing to decrease its price but even increasing it, is quite the feat IMO. Just two years after release, the PS4 was already going for just $350 on a bundle with The Last of Us. The PS5's hardware price...

    Discussion If Final Shape & Marathon aren't a commercial success @Sony will ultimately sell Bungie

    There's nothing in OP's source that remotely suggests the thread title. This whole thread is just based off OP's imagination.

    Playstation Where Are All the PS5 Games? - IGN Video

    In comparison to what other publisher? What other publishers have managed to keep an output in 2020-2024 similar to what it was in 2010-2014? Is this really a Playstation problem and not an industry problem? How many videogame developers, executives and journalists have come out to say there's...
