Revenue generated from PSN in 2018 is higher than Nintendo's total revenue for 2018

[Purist 134]

Impressive. Nintendo really needs to invest heavily in their Network.  It's going to pay off dividends.

Also note that PS4 is now at 94.2M units shipped.

Do you make revenue?

36 million PS+ subs, that 90 million figure for active accounts finally got some context.

Insane figures. It's why Nintendo wants to step into the paid online space. 

 

 

Some additional interesting info.

37% of all PS4 software sales are now Digital.

They’d still make $ off F2P games like Fortnite

If that's the case then what is Xbox then, like 50% probably?

LOL at the hilariously low share for Packaged Software (retail).  Retail is dead. 

PSVR at roughly a third of PS4/PS Vita, is it considered good?

Update:

 

PlayStation Network generated more revenue than both Nintendo and Microsoft's entire gaming divisions combined.

Nintendo: ~$10b

Microsoft: ~$11.5b

Sony: ~$20.72B

What? It says their network revenue is $12.5 billion. Also $11.5b + $10b is $21.5 billion which is more than $20.72 billion...

 

 

That $20.72 billion is their overall revenue, also their network revenue is from their total network which encompasses all Sony services even those devoid of gaming.

Meant to put almost generated more and I mean PlayStation as a whole.

Also gaming is responsible for $3.98 billion in revenue, the remainder of that $12.5b is abstract revenue generated elsewhere in their network.

That's not a good chart to judge where retails are at. Of course Sony first party softwares sold at retail isn't going to be much next to the sale of ALL digital softwares on PSN.

 

The reality is, retails are still bigger than digital distribution for consoles.

What are you looking at? Sony generated $16.6B in revenue from Q1-Q3. You're telling me Sony's gaming division generated only $3.98B for the year while Microsoft generated $11.5B?

Using FY17 Q4 results as a placeholder to predict the full year Sony will have generated almost as much revenue as both Microsoft and Nintendo combined.

No, PSN for gaming generated $3.98 billion. It's right there in Zhuge's post. Sony's total network generated $12.5 billion, so gaming was responsible for about 30% of their network income.

Really lmao? Xbox's revenue doesn't have their external Microsoft network revenue included in it, it's division isolated. Stop trying to stack Sony's total network earnings.

 

The PlayStation division and gaming for Sony had a total revenue intake of $12.2 billion.

 

Nice try though

Are you high? The pie chart breaking down Sony's Games & Network Services is in this very thread. They're all related to PlayStation. I don't know what "external revenue" you're bitching about.

I'm not bitching, you can't seem to read.

 

PSN (inc full game downloads, add ons and subscriptions) generated revenues of 434 billion yen, up 45% YoY.

 

That's the network gaming revenue from their PlayStation division, $3.98 billion.

 

Total network services revenue in 2018 was 1373 billion yen, which is around $12.5 billion.

 

That's Sony's total network intake spanning every division. That means PlayStation and gaming was responsible for $12.2 billion for the year.

You're fuckin' stoned and completely failed to comprehend everything that was posted.

 

The revenue for G&NS is completely tied to PlayStation and nothing else. The pie chart breaks down everything that resides inside G&NS. You've gone full retard.
