The issue of pure hardware sales and Microsoft’s likely dismal showing this generation, does draw into question what the company might have planned for the quickly approaching shift to the next generation of consoles.
This looks fun and affordable for fans of Retro Cabinet games.
Introducing Evercade Alpha, the first Evercade-compatible arcade machine. This bartop-sized arcade gives you everything you want in a home arcade machine with one big feature - full compatibility with the Evercade cartridge ecosystem.
I like the Mega Man one more as it has a better variety of games. Strider, Carrier Airwing, Final fight... The other is all SF. Plus i like that i can pop in any of my evercade carts to play as well.
During Sony’s recent business segment meeting and investor presentation regarding its game and network services, the PlayStation company revealed that PlayStation 5 is the company’s “most profitable generation to-date.”
It’s the top slide of the presentation, showing that in its first four years, the PS5 generation has already hit $106 billion in sales, having almost caught up to the PS4’s total $107 billion generated.
Operating income for the PS5 generation has also already surpassed that of the PS4, having now reached $10 billion.
I wouldn't doubt it. They released a high quality system. A lot of high quality games from themselves and their support of 3rd party developers and indies. They released many high quality remakes and remasters. They released a high quality GaaS game going against the naysayers thinking Sony would abandon single player games. And they most likely are profiting a lot more than PS1, PS2 PS4 and the loss leading PS3 that drained all their profits.
Now, I'll wait to see what's cooking tomorrow. But can you use some of those profits to better support your high quality VR headset? Because, by supporting it, you can sell more games and more systems and make more profits?
This will surely shut up all the new trolling accounts trying to spread lies and non facts in other articles comment sections before this article is posted.
Wow! I am super impressed that in just 4 years, ps5 already caught up to the PS4's. Congratulations.
This sounds like a very interesting mobile gaming PC. ZOTAC returns to COMPUTEX 2024 to showcase its biggest push yet into brand-new product categories from Handheld Gaming.
I already knew this from beginning. They use the software numbers to make sure that they don’t feel embarrassed by their hardware numbers. Even The Wii U have a low hardware sales numbers, but Nintendo have their gut to show it. The reason I want companies to show their production software and hardware ? Because I want them to be better competitors. The Switch was a big improvements from Wii U, because Nintendo learn the mistakes, not hiding it.
Since when was approaching 40 million units dismal?
It's a great tactic, simple shift the goal post so people think you're doing better than you actually are. Lest all be honest about it, they were getting destroyed, and their sales numbers made then look bad in comparison with the meteoric record breaking sales figures of the PS4 (and later on the Nintendo Switch).
What happens when Nintendo start posting high growth attachment rates, or Sony start posting high revenue growth figures, will Microsoft change the goal post again to something silly like hours played online, or whatever the PR reps come up with to keep their jobs.
It was Microsoft that created this problem in the first place with their braggadocious attitude during the 360 era, they would constantly parade numbers sold, I remember when Halo 3 launched, and it like broke sales records everywhere. Microsoft where only too happy to shove it down everyone throats. "But oh how the mighty have fallen."
I thought this was already established? The Xbox One (as much as I love mine) got it's ass handed to it by Sony and soon possibly to be passed by the Switch (which already has sold nearly 20 million units) Microsoft hurt the Xbox at the reveal and it never fully recovered.
Um... because the numbers are embarrassing?
