Why did you bring azure into it when we were talking about Xbox? You think that helps Xbox looks better?Yeah, Microsoft is very ashamed of Azure profits (estimate: 20+ billion a year), makes total sense.

Profit down 37%
How is this money sink division profitable, Sony would be better off turning into a third party publisher.
Absolute disaster.
PC ports are killing PlayStation
Steam prices at launch for the same games are 20 euro lower.
I am NOT gonna buy F1 2022 for 80 when a person on PC gets it for 60.
THAT is why 3rd party software is down. Poor strategy... massive hubris and taking customers for granted.
PSPlus subs down on top of everything is just insane.
So basically nothing good.
Ironically the only thing that is making the numbers look in any way good is the hardware, which Ryan downplayed the importance of before..... and he is actively working to undermine and cut the legs out of the hardware with his shitty strategy.
I am NOT gonna buy F1 2022 for 80 when a person on PC gets it for a fitgirl repack.
Nah. Where is the proof that people are buying a PC instead of a PS for 'old' games like HZD and GoW (2018)? The games have just come out to the forefront.Absolute disaster.

Agree there.Steam prices at launch for the same games are 20 euro lower.

Seems like the PS+ changes killed game sales, I at least haven't bought anything since then. That's what they get for copying Xbox business model.
Not great but way better than the competition regardless, Sony isn't ashamed to share hardware units and profit numbers.
They really need to move past this supply problems, it's holding back this gen for way too long.
79% digital? What is wrong with you guys?
For worse.Digital is the future. For better or worse.
So you compare PlayStation division profit with Azure profit?Yeah, Microsoft is very ashamed of Azure profits (estimate: 20+ billion a year), makes total sense.
It is actually very profitable... you can look at the data.

$400 million profit for Game alone.Yeah, I'm looking at it, and it says that profits went down 37%.
That's abysmal no matter how anyone tries to spin it.
You're a parody of yourself at this point.

Great time to have a showcase and get people hype again for gaming.
There are still ps5’s available on the ps store. This is the longest they’ve ever been available. And 1st party software sales is pretty terrible, that means horizon and gt7didnt even do 7 mil combined in sales.-edit- i forget this is April-June
This kind of proves that sony can’t really “just sit back” for the year because they are still selling consoles like people are saying. They gotta show us the future of ps5 already
- Expenses with new studio/publishers acquisitions.
You're a parody of yourself at this point.
Sure, because you're purposefully ignoring they spent money in investments and that's the main reason why they have less profit than last year...If you read the report you posted in the OP, they mention exactly the reasons, studio acquisition is not a factor.
Sony's massive drop in profits is the bigger parody
Really?If you read the report you posted in the OP, they mention exactly the reasons, studio acquisition is not a factor.
There are a lot of factors that are against all game companies this past year. Specific to sony is stock, games in later quarter, and recession for UK/US and a lot parts of Europe is big factor.
More people have wallets getting tighter.
