Sorry, but this is an absolutely silly comparison.

The launch of a new console (sold at a loss) diminishes profits. It doesn't enhance them.

Why don't you compare revenue? Or perhaps that would be inconvenient to your narrative?

 

[Armorian]

Switch manufacturing is probably dirt cheap. And the sell most of they games (even old ones) at full price, aren't they?

 

[Yoboman]

Sony launched new hardware, Nintendo did not

Nintendo Switch was sold at profit during its launched.

Nintendo Switch was sold at profit during its launched.

Is that meant to be a positive thing?

 

[Abriael_GN]

Nintendo Switch was sold at profit during its launched.

So? PS5 is not (officially confirmed). Hence your comparison is completely out of whack.

 

[Hudo]

Ah, another shareholder thread.

 

[Abriael_GN]

Ah, another fanboy thread.

Fixed that for you.

Quarterly comparison and CY comparison, both are normal comparison.
Sony is having the best year for their PlayStation division in term of Operating profits, do we need to use other years instead?

Damn Sony for providing more value to the consumer. Downright dastardly

 

[demonstr8]

OP, are you daft..?

You are comparing two companies in extremely different situations to create a fanboysh narrative. One is launching a new console sold at a loss. The other is not. It's not rocket science.

Again, why don't you compare revenue? Too damaging for the narrative?

That's Sony's problem.

 

[Abriael_GN]

That's Sony's problem.

Nah. That's our problem. Hardware that is cheap to produce is cheap for a reason.

Revenue is vanity, Profit is sanity, and cash flow is reality.

hope you are enjoying your cut of the profits op

Do you have any better retort than a meaningless catchphrase?.

Do you have any better retort than a meaningless catchphrase?.

Ask any business company what is their main objective of starting a business.
