How do you guys feel about this? Are you okay? Remember to breathe.
Imagine a world where Sony wasn't attached to a worthless company that bleeds money everywhere and could actually meaningfully follow up huge successes like the PS4 constantly.

Sony sold 60 million PS4 in July, that means 10 million consoles sold in 6 months.

>be Sony >have your best year ever for Ps4 even with Switch coming out >Toddlers are still shitposting
Levi Walker
About 2 years before the ps5 comes out. will the PS4 hit 100 mil before that?
Christian Peterson
>Only online sales when PS4 was sold out before Black Friday
Besides the ranking is in value and not in unity.
Aaron Cox
Easily, Sony wants shipped 78 million PS4 for March 2018.

>no games >Raised the price of PSN+ >Console hardware is now severely interior to the competition and seems antiquated
Sales don't tell the real story - the PS4 is dying, and Sony's arrogance and complacency will be their downfall once again?
>Ps4 is dying Not with games like GoW, Spider Man and Tlou coming soon. Those games are going to sell a lot of hardware and most people don't care about how powerful the PS4 is compared to the other platforms, the switch is the best example of it. Sony knows the sales will fall someday, but the PS4 still is the most successful console in this generation and they will keep investing on it for a long time.
Isaac Allen
>>Sony also added that PlayStation VR — which first launched in October of last year — has reached over two million units sold to consumers worldwide That's incredibly low. 2 million was their original projection for the end of LAST year.
Nathan Diaz
How do we stop Sony? Do we even *want* to stop them?
Luis Lopez
thats true, if noly they use some real cpu in their consoles
xbox sucks too in this case
Daniel Wilson
>Sony won't release a new console for the next two years due to the sales of the PS4
Is the Pro sufficient enough to last the next two+ years?
Parker Miller
>online sales Now post total numbers. Mind you online numbers account for like 7% of Black Friday total sales numbers.
Nathan Wilson
There are lots of them faggot
Connor Fisher
>Console hardware is now severely interior to the competition and seems antiquated
How is its hardware severly inferior to its only competitor the Switch?
Andrew Sanders
Sony fags don't want to admit it, but Pro is a DISASTER.
Thomas Allen
>console sales are somehow equivalent to quality I'll just leave this pic here. Food for thought.
Matthew Murphy
>when Sup Forums said PSVR would flop and barely sell any units >then said it wouldn't sell 1 mil >then said it wouldn't sell 2 mil Why are you guys always wrong
I can't see VR becoming something popular anytime soon, they are just wasting resources on it. Of course it is, don't forget it is the most popular console right now and developers will not abadon it or something (like some are doing with the xbox). Using japanese developers as example, many of them are ignoring the xbox and focusing only on PS4 and Switch, it doesn't matter if they are powerful or not.
Joseph Lopez
Pro is a niche with limited units on sale, it was never meant to overtake the cheaper PS4 Slim sales wise since it was always stated that you needed a 4K TV with HDR to draw its full potential.
Alexander Evans
>2 million VR units That's pretty huge considering the technology's infancy. Something tells me VR will be a big part of ps5.
Christopher Peterson
And 1 in 4 new PS4's sold are a PRO, I fail to see how that is a failure
Jason Gutierrez
Thats not even close to kinect numbers. VR is a meme and these sales figures prove it.
Brandon Carter
yo, dafuq do i do if i need more haredrive space?
Evan Martin
Kinect was a fad, VR is the future (we only don't know how far this future still is).
Gabriel Lee
>god of my wife's son >tlou yet another remastered edition
Grayson Jackson
fpbp
Noah Butler
Kinect and VR are entirely different things
Benjamin Price
The PSVR is Sony's Kinect. They're stuck with this thing and we'll probably see it incorporated into their next console. I'm sure Sony has spent a lot in developing this peripheral and I don't see them just dropping it like they did the Move.
Daniel Jackson
Does that include people who were forced to buy kinect with their xbox?
Gabriel Morales
dude, at least put some effort in your shitposts
Luke Carter
>dropped the move >brought it back for VR at 5x the price Thanks Sony
Gavin Clark
It doesn't matter how you call it, those are popular franchises that are going to sell millions. Sony doesn't care if you enjoy these games or not, they care about the money.
Ryder Green
why should I put in effort if even sony doesn't? >we took out backwards compatibility so we could make you buy old games "remastered" on the new console over and over!
Lucas Martinez
>It doesn't matter how you call it, star wars is a popular franchise that is going to sell millions. EA doesn't care if you enjoy these games or not, they care about the money.
Only difference is theres no EAgaf to blindly defend them.
Carter Scott
Man, its nice not being this stupid.
Cameron Edwards
Never doubted that the PS quad would fail.
Julian Stewart
Difference is that Sony games are always complete experiences since day one. People didn't hate on EA because their games are exactly bad, but because of their microtransaction bullshit. Of couse Sony isn't the most respectful and pro-consumer company, but their games always deliver.
Jaxon Evans
>s-s-sony removed backwards compatibility #4theplayers!!!!!! they dont want to milk people for old games because their modern games sell like shit
Joshua Green
SONY ALWAYS WINS BABY
NOBODY CAN BEAT SONY
Dominic Thompson
>Their games sell like shit Their games are always between the best selling games of the year, or do you think it's standard to games sell 30 million copies? They make profit with those games and sell lots of consoles because of them.
Mason Wood
>PS3 let's you play PS1 games >PS4 doesn't let you play PS2 games For what reason
Jordan Fisher
you don't even need a pro to take advantage of HDR, a normal ps4 can do it.
