How are they fricking up this bad
Duality
They kept doing the same thing they always do; fricking up in almost every thing but this time there's no Sony Entertainment (AKA PS4) to carry them.
Lookin good
Sony no longer reporting sales of PS4 Hardware, that means the current PS4 upper records still sits at 117.1 Millions Units sold
Also PS5 has now reached 21.4 Million units shipped, YTD in 19 Months
>PlayStation is doing worse than Xbox
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>Sony no longer reporting sales of PS4 Hardware
Wouldn't that imply that they're no longer selling them? Just checked online, and it seems they've recently went out of stock in my region here in yurop.
not really, it just means the number are so low are neglect able to discuss individual, last Q they reported it was only 100K Shipped globally Switch sell that in less than 1 month in Japan alone.
Its legal as long as they dont obfuscate the actual Cash numbers overall of the hardware in the division .

from March to Jun Sony spent 175,67 Billion Yen in RnD for Games, Network & Services Division
Physical will die soon, huh?
>Physical will die soon, huh?
not a good indicator cause it count also Digital only games (which is basically anything that is not AAA)
post yfw you didn't buy a PS5
I'm just waiting for 5 games that would interest me that I can't get on the platforms I own. I'm still waiting.
Demon's Souls. Returnal. Astro's Playroom. Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. Final Fantasy 16.
>Demon's Souls.
Good game, even if it's a remaster/remake.
>Returnal.
Also on PC.
> Astro's Playroom.
Tech demo
>Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart
The worst things combined of future trilogy THE GAME
> Final Fantasy 16.
Not yet released
2 more years and maybe.
PS3 and the graphicprostitute race. They deserve this hell for what they did to videogames as a whole.
Not that soon if PS5 is any indication. Might even rekindle it.
By the time there are actually 5 the PS5 pro will be out
Christ, Sony really has been a shitshow since they moved to California.
PS3 was already a shitshow.
>buddy bought a PS5
>bought demon's souls regurgitated
>didn't like it
>knows I'm a fromsoft fan
>gifted it to me
>don't have a PS5 and don't plan on getting one before I can get one for like under $300
My friend's has been gathering dust for a while now and I'll probably take it off his hands for 400cad when psvr2s finally out
Wait didnt they reach 20 million last report? Did they really only sell 1.7 million units this quarter? Thats kinda small.
no, they announced when they reached 20M but that was after last Report, they sold 2.1M this past quarter
COVID is still a thing. They can only produce so many units
>37% Operating Income Down
>(--) Increase in costs, mainly for games software development at existing studios
AAA is no longer sustainable. Market crash inbound
AAA will continue to be sustainable. Market crash outbound.
Frick off bumping this
Cry more, Sony b***h
What went so wrong?
>Rush in the market without hardware stock and no exclusive games.
For a company that had the market by the balls, the idea of SeX releasing 1 year before them really spook them so much they jumped the gun
Why do people say this? They had way bigger HW stock than MS. MS began outselling Sony for a year and they are still comfortably ahead. If not for the Series S MS couldn't keep up at all. The Series X needs way bigger chips than the PS5. From the same waffer they get less consoles.
Became more wienery and arrogant than they were with the PS3 and fricked up even harder ignoring warnings of Nintendo and Microsoft making a big comeback with their next consoles because they thought they were going to be on top forever. Now they're losing ground to both just like that.
The current microchip crisis is still going on and aside from that phil is outbidding them for any components available.
NO
GAEMS
Overlapping Since Release, PS5 (21.7M) is trailing behind both PS4 (25.3M) and Switch (22.86M)
Imagine how far ahead it would be without the supply issues
what are you talking about, Shortages is the only think that keeps PS5 selling, Software sales have been mediocre as frick for the console itself.
If there was not shortage and people trying to outbid each other. PS5 wont be selling cause there are not games out there pushing people to get 1.
Bullshit. PS5 has plenty of games that appeal to plenty of people
>B-b-but muh anime tiddy VNs!!!
sure bubb
>gets dismal software sales
Part of the demand is scalping to this day. Software sales are shit for a reason.
Software sales are very strong in the west
The "lead" wouldn't be as big as you think. Even before the PS5 launch, the PS4's sales were at a downtrend. People are just not as interested in Playstation as they were in 2013. Now, Switch, PC, and even Xbox have grown more popular so people aren't going to gravitate towards Playstation by default. The market is more competitive, and Sony needs to do more than just a $70 TLOU Remake who the frick thought that was a good idea
Furthermore, when fanboys say shit like "it would sell better without any supply" it kinda shows their lack of an understanding of the sitatuation. If there were no supply issues, there would be no scalpers. You realize that scalpers BUY CONSOLES IN BULK, right? The normal consumer would only buy one PS5. Even if there is there's a 1:1 ratio between scalpers and consumers, if every scalper were replaced by a consumer then there would be a significant drop in sales because consumers wouldn't buy PS5's in bulk. And due to the market being more competitive, a consumer isn't as likely to buy a PS5 as a scalper since he may opt to buy an Xbox or a PC instead, or he may just be content with his Switch and PS4/PC/Xbone because the library of current gen games is weak.
See pic related.
>Nintendo designed the Switch to steal smaller Japanese games from Sony
I can believe that since they do give spotlights to games like Disgaea, Pacman/Klonoa, and the 2DHD titles.
>The Switch can't run FFXV, KH3, or the big 3rd party Japanese games, so we'll let our 1st party games kill them in sales and reception.
That's kinda brutal. Can't see how a $70 TLOU Remake can compete with Pokemon when TLOU2 got smashed by Animal Crossing.
Does this mean most PS5s are really scalped down the line? As HW did slightly better but software worse. And what is even more curious they released much more first party titles in this year, or not?
Can I get a QRD?
Sony's gaming division, and by extension, the West as a whole, are dying
Sony moved to California and is currently drinking gallons of moron juice.
Sonybros???? What the hecking heck is happening?
Corono caused a mini boom in video game market + new Console Hype.
This seems like a very mild correction.
you'd have too look at previous years to see if its a major concern
Decent quarter. No wonder Xbox trannies are quiet.
Is Ganker really so delusional to think a million PS5s wouldn't sell out instantly if they magically conjured them into the market?
Yes.
>Switch manhandling it worldwide
>Xbox managed to outsell it in fricking Japan
>Time exposed the lack of games worthy of a drought of centuries which damages the hype around it
>Sony has been focusing on side stuff in the meantime
Depends on if the Chinese scalpers bots had that much money at once or not
so how long are the scalpers going to keep buying up stock before they realise no one is buying them of them?
That's the thing, anon. People are buying them from scalpers. They don't just sit in some dank basement with no one wanting them. They sell fast as frick.
So which is it Ganker PS5 is a massive flop and it sales are inflated by scalpers?
or PS5 is being heavily held back by hardware shortages.
these are the opposing rhetorics being shouted the loudest
>They don't just sit in some dank basement with no one wanting them. They sell fast as frick.
Then software sold would have high numbers; now compare that to famitsu threads. They sell, the rest is just conjecture.
They would sell out, but 90% of them would be sitting in some scalper's garage after the purchase.
thew moment offer outpace scalpers, you will see a reduction in PS5 sales.
Some, probably. Others would say they're sold with really low margins anyways and scalpers don't buy software.
It's not the selling out, it's the playing with. Because for such numbers, PS5 game sales are absurdly low.
>it instantly sells out but people still have problems finding one on stores
sounds like the people instantly buying it are bots
Here's some facts
>2020/21 more people had to spend their time inside and were more likely to buy software
>a 2% decrease in sales is less than most market analysts would've predicted
>the 37% decrease in operating income is mostly due to investments
>a 2% decrease in sales is less than most market analysts would've predicted
It's a 2% decrease only because of the weak yen. In USD it's 17% down compared to last year
Oh, forgot about that. That puts it about in line with expectations, but that also makes the loss in operating income even worse. They might actually have some issues right now. It's questionable if huge investments are a good move right now when they're bleeding sales like this.
They could probably scrape together the liquidity, but in their weak position right now, making even more investments just seems like a bad idea.
meant for
The FX impact on Operating income is listed as negative? what does that imply?
Meaning the operating income was valued before the yen became weak against the USD
N-NO THEY'RE DOING FINE! THEY'LL TOTALLY ACQUIRE SQUARE ENIX A-AND THEN, WE'LL DOMINATE GAMING!
I haven't looked at the data, but I'm guessing Sony is too scared to report their current first party game sales numbers? I'm pretty certain they don't have the balls to reveal how many copies Horizon 2 and Gran Turismo 7 sold.
Even when they do actually report software numbers they don't bother updating them most of the time.
>software sold digitally is 79%
physical is so fricking dead next gen
also seems their sole problem now is software sales for their own exclusives.
No wonder they are making pc ports.
Physical is way down YoY yeah (digital too, albeit less), idk if it's the same for their competitors.
Sony lost me as a customer a year or so ago, and they will keep declining until my demands are met.
Sony are facing massive, MASSOVE stock issues right now. It's no surprise that they can't meet such huge demand.
You could not pay me to permit a Sony console in my home as long as Playstation is being run from California.
