How much time do they really have left? Realistically Sony can't bounce back from all they're failures and will eventually go bankrupt. So what will happen to the playstation brand? Will it survive even after the failure of the Ps4 pro?

> nintendo shill accidentally confirms nintendo failure

>retarded nintendo babby
Hurhurhur

Eh, they're doing pretty gud

Wow, that is a bigger difference than I thought.

>1 D

Sony is just going to lose more exclusives to Sony and eventually leave the console market.

What the hell happened in July? It wasn't Pokémon Go because that came out in May.

That is when Pokemon Go actually caught on in the US.

Pokemon Go came out July 6th

I've never seen a thread fail this hard before.

So what you're saying is Nintendo's only success since the original Wii was a flavor of the week cell phone pander sim, and they didn't even have anything to do with its creation?

what?

well I mean, sony do is gonna loose a lot for former console exclusives

>However, in Japan we can’t just ignore the move to portable gaming consoles. Our games are well suited for portable gaming, so when you think about it, it is important for PS4 and Nintendo Switch to balance each other out and do well. With that in mind, from here on multiplatform develpment for PS4 and Nintendo Switch is very much a possibility.”
Nippon Ichi CEO

Nobody said that.

Seriously, delete this.

>Nintendo is valued lower
>Somehow Sony is doomed but they aren't.
Okay I guess.

Holy shit that's a small difference for a dedicated vs branched out company

Sony has a compulsion for doing stupid shit. Eventually they'll try to trojan horse some new format and lose another few billion like with the PS3.

>sony pioneered superior HD format
>nintendo still doesn't support blu ray

>US
>Nintendo stock is down just a few dollars under Sony

>JP
>Nintendo stock is up roughly $170

Too bad stocks mean nothing really, it's just gambling with money and whatever company is doing something relevant at the time.

>Sonyggers aren't responsible for all the shitposting here they said

You act as if this is surprising. Sony were below Nintendo and were in junk status a few year ago and right now, they're in the process of building themselves back up.

>Too bad stocks mean nothing really, it's just gambling with money and whatever company is doing something relevant at the time.
PSN itself managed to earn more than the entirely of Nintendo but you don't see that reflected in stock values. So yeah, it means nothing.

Not really, you have to take into account how much stock there is

1 million units of stock at $1 each is the same as 10 at 100k each
Sony is a much bigger company with a stupid amounts of division for different fields from banks to phones and printers/tvs Obviously Sony has more stock and shares

Screen cap it for the lols

Nah. Their current big fluctuation is because Sony Pictures keeps tanking the board and wiped off 10 points of their share value alone. Never mind the constant decline in mobile and Home electronics. Imaging, Gaming and insurance are the only things keeping them affloat and analyists are already thinking PS4 hit the bubble point and may cap out at 60 million in 2017 (Especially owing to the YOY drop in PS4's sold and declining interest in the product. It sold to its audience and that's it). Playstation is healthy, but it might start to hit major challenges in 2017 and not just from Switch or Scorpio.

The bigger reason why Sony has dropped a lot of share value is because Hirai refuses to sell Sony Pictures and Sony Music despite them being constant drags on their bottom line. While Music is still profitable, it's starting to cost a lot more to sign new acts and the record industry has a lot more artists willing to sign independent labels or even go without label and their library is the real money maker (And Apple and Amazon would pay out the ass for that. That's a $5 billion deal alone)

Pictures is almost self explanatory. Flop after flop created by clueless executives and their big prestige picture from a "Black List" script, Passengers, was critically savaged and turned out it was so rife with studio interference it was insane it even got made. And they are so clueless they got fucking spit-roasted in the Spider-Man rights deal by Disney's lawyers where Sony only keeps Box Office Gross. Disney gets Merch and Home streaming/Blu-Ray gross.

So Hirai, in his absolute wisdom, decides to consider merging pictures WITH Playstation to create an uber entertiainment division. Even though they got an interested buyer in CBS who say they are interested in entering film and high grade TV and want to buy Sony Pictures.

They trashed that "turnaround" and things are getting difficult again. It's amazing, really.

The absolute value of the stock tells you nothing. Apple and Nvidia have similar share prices but Apples assets dwarfs Nvidia's. it's a useles comparison.

Why nintendo fags care so much about stocks
Even worse, its always a misinterpretation of how stocks and shares works
Literally no one else does that but toddlers, why?

He can just fuse them and reduce investment on the picture department

And im gonna need a source on that yoy drop considering it actually increased

>can't even hide his bias

>what are number of outstanding shares

Sorry, meant YOY drop in the last Quarter. It outpaced 2015 but it's looking like anyone who wants a PS4 has one by now which is why the forecast is for them to only reach 60 million. Console gaming is an increasingly growth limited aspect of the gaming business and can be disrupted at any time with the right product.

Still consolidating pictures into Playstation would be horrifically bad because Pictures has the most political clout in Sony. You wouldn't get rid of spending on pictures, you'd lose more on PS and a lot of mid tier projects would be straight up kicked out along with far more executive meddling from Sony Pictures execs who are along for the ride as only Amy Pascual got canned and everyone else stayed.

Sony does have quite a negative forecast in all sectors right now. And with PS, There's no one title that will move console units because everyone who wants a PS4 has one by now and the major games they are promoting, Death Stranding and TLOU 2 are forecast to arrive around 2019/2020 (Both had not even gone into production even though their trailers were shown at TGA/PSX last year). They are reaching saturation point quickly and Pro isn't the product to keep people spending unless performance on base PS4 becomes drastically worse than Pro.
