SIE Q1 2018 (Apr-June): 3.2m PS4s shipped (down vs Q1 [email protected]) / FY18 forecast increased to 17m
- Thread starter Nightengale
- Start date
Why? No reason to drop the price of something if it's doing great, that would just mean less revenue.
Total : 82,2 millions PS4
The results are HUGE, no joke. Their annual forecast is now higher by a huge margin and the video game segment is stomping everything else in the company. God of War probably had some major impact as a major first party success.
For the fiscal year, the forecast in operating income is now 2,2 billion dollars compared to 1,7 billion dollars for the previous forecast in April.

Great performance. It was clear when GOW launched that the game was a big driver of sales, and it shows in the overperformance compared to expectations.
ps3 ended around 90.
soon though.
wonder what PS4 will end around.
...120?
Thanks :)
So they now forecast to be at 96m by end of March 2019. Getting close to that 100m now!
A but down compared with last year but the forecast really required a update up after the strong sales showed in the sales three months.
If they continue selling st that pace into the 5th year then I can see they doing over that 17m forecast.
What about the gaming revenue?
Edit - Crazy revenue for gaming... increase in hardware and software... 34% up.

Now we have more realistic forecast. Their increased profit forecast for gaming division indicates that we don't see huge price promotions this fall though. Otherwise I could see PS4 selling even more than that 17 million this FY.
Also : 33,9M PS+ subscribers as June 2018, slightly down from 34,2M last March
Full game download ratio : 43% (39% last year)

Well, the market has shown to be capable of serving a 200M+ population before, so it's not too surprising to me. The more, the merrier.
Impressive as always. The continued strong HW sales continue to surprise but the real story of the PS4 is shown in how much revenue they're making. The PS4 is just an incredible success for Sony.
People letting their subs expire since Fortnite doesn't need PS plus?They lost almost 300,000 PS+ users in 3 months:
Is it normal for this quarter?They lost almost 300,000 PS+ users in 3 months:

Worth noting that Sony had God of War this year, whereas last year they had...Drawn to Death.
Either that - or the crazy success for God of War has their forecast and financial impact from Spider-Man increased.
PS4 sell through is never announced in the financials, that is always shipped. They announce sell through for example after holidays or at specific milestones. I think they only announce MAU and PS+ one time per year at IR day.
Cheers, interesting subscriptions numbers have actually dropped.Maybe this chart helps at least with PS Plus subscribers:
Good to know for future reference.
Only the material was released... the conference call happens in two hours.
They lost almost 300,000 PS+ users in 3 months:
All those Japanese three-month PS+ subs for MH:W finally expired.
Yeah, they could easily blow past 20 million if the go down to 199 this holiday season. Probably not going to happen though.
I could not find it in the documents from previous years, let's hope they speak about it at the conference.
PS4 killing it is expected so I'm more interested in their other divisions. Sony camera once again see growth compared to last year thanks to their solid full-frame mirrorless camera. The mobile section on the other hand is sinking. Sony really need to rethink their phone strategy. Right now there are just too many Xperia models in the market with confusing names.
Maybe u should mention that this is only for this Q
Man, it's only a minor drop
I can't believe that they'll hit 100m before Last of Us 2.
This is insane
