Good sales.
The business as a whole seems to be going nicely as well.

I'm all out of Knack jokes.
What a difference a few years make. I remember the height of the PS3 era where Sony was posting near billion dollars loses per quarter with no end in sight.
What about Knack 2?

There are still a ton of people on Neogaf who still think they are about to go out of business at any minute.
Game & Network Services segment
Sales for the quarter increased 5% year-on-year. Operating income decreased 26.3 billion yen yearon-year to 17.7 billion yen, primarily due to the absence of the significant contribution from Uncharted 4, a first-party title that went on sale in the same
quarter of the previous fiscal year, and the impact of a price reduction on PS4 hardware. Network revenue increased 34% year-on-year.
Our operating income forecast has been upwardly revised by 10 billion yen to 180 billion yen, primarily due to the impact of appreciation of euro against U.S. dollar.
ForwardWorks, which distributes game applications for mobile products, started to distribute its first game, Everybody's Golf, on July 4th. It has been downloaded more than 2 million times. We look forward to expanding the business going forward and are planning to distribute our first original content called Sora to Umi no Aida from the beginning of October.
Absolutely insane figure there, shows how much digital is growing considering new owners wouldnt account for that rise.
Considering they had a global 2 weeks pricecut on the ps4, which they admitted costed them revenue,your hottake is probably not 100% correct.My hot take from this is that the PS4 Pro didn't really help PS4 sales since the operating income still decreased significantly. Because money from PS4 hardware sales is declining I still think a fully backwards compatible PS5 in fall 2018 is possible.

They do have Spider-Man: Homecoming and Baby Driver (not sure if they'll make more than MiB) and Gran Turismo Sport (though GT1 sold 10m+).
I think that person was saying Homecoming and Baby Driver vs MiB.Baby Driver is not in the league of MiB.
Baby Driver budget - $34M
Baby Driver box office - $138M
MiB budget - $90M
MiB box office - $589M
Some comments fromanalystsnon-GAF
- ”Results are good," said David Dai, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. ”But they're still low-balling their profit outlook, so I would expect to see them continue to beat consensus as well as their own guidance going forward."
- Chief Financial Officer Kenichiro Yoshida defended the conservative outlook, saying ”for one thing, we only had three months in this fiscal year." Sony decided not to raise its guidance due to ”variations of the macro-economic environment, and also cost and demand factors," he said.

I dont know why people are mentioning Spider-Man: Homecoming and Baby Driver when both of them are not doing anything exceptional in Box Office?
Spider-Man: Homecoming is still the 4th most successful film in the Spider Man Series. and i doubt if it will rise any further
and Baby Driver is also nothing to write home about. Less than 100 million in US Box Office.

So what do we think? Will it ultimately surpass the PS2?
Not a chance. It won't even pass Wii

fully backwards compatible PS5 in fall 2018
Not a chance. It won't even pass Wii
It will pass the Wii easily.Not a chance. It won't even pass Wii
NoI still think a fully backwards compatible PS5 in fall 2018 is possible.
They will easily reach that number by the end of their FY.
Now lets talk about what kind of hat do you want to eat? Will you eat it raw or cook and mix it with something else?
Woah that's some nice growth.China growth y/y is big*, and justifies the huge amount of attention Sony as a whole are putting on it.
*Smaller base, but it's already larger than 'other areas' and out of AP I think it should be near South Korea
I think it will end up at 120M if Sony do the PS2 treatment and sell it for $99 until 2025.
on the other hand if Sony goes the PS3 way it will barely pass the 100M mar
PS4 is a monster either way

PS2 - no hard drive
PS3 - hard drive
PS4 - hard drive
I still cant fathom hiw these people come up with these estimates. Even if they say a cataclysmic decline it will still hit Wii numbers at minimum by end of life. They shipped nearly 10 million last quarter, even a decline to 6 million average would get them to 100 million by 2020. And Sony systems have a long life, PS3 wasnt fully discontinued until May pf this year.Lol. PS4 will pass WII 99,9%.
Has to be for a whole.Is this for Sony's PlayStation business or Sony as a whole?
I'm surprised that the Japanese revenue figure is so much larger than the rest (even the US)...?
Has to be for a whole.
That is true too hmm.Probably but aren't Sony mobile games doing really well in Japan?
most successful outdated hardware ever o/
128GB onboard flash + buy your own external USB storage. Similar to the Switch.
I guess it can be done.

PS4 OS doesn't even let you install a harddrive that small.
Man, over the next 2.5 years they only need to average slightly less tha 15 million a yearto reach 100 million by the end of the decade. 3 full holidays remain between now and then too, fucking crazy.
Even assuming sales decline and they pnly can average 6 million each holiday quarter, that leaves them only needing to average around 2.6 million per quarter for the remainder to make it.
70 million by the end of the year no doubt.
Don't get too comfortable until all your chickens are hatched, we won't know until March 31st
