Sony Q1 FY14: PS3+PS4 = 3.5M: Company & Game Div profitable

http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/financial/fr/14q1_sony.pdf

Estimate is 3M PS4 sold in Q1 FY14

PSV+PSP = 0.75M

Company Operating Income = 690M USD

Sales were 1,809.9 billion yen (17,920 million U.S. dollars), an increase of 5.8% compared to the same quarter of the previous fiscal year (“year-on-year”). This increase was primarily due to a significant increase in G&NS segment sales, reflecting the contribution of the PlayStation 4 (“PS4”) which was launched in November 2013, a significant increase in Pictures segment sales primarily due to higher theatrical revenues in Motion Pictures, as well as the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates. This increase was partially offset by a significant decrease in sales in All Other, primarily related to Sony’s exit from the PC business. On a constant currency basis, sales increased 3% year-on-year. For further details about sales on a constant currency basis, see Note on page 9.

Operating income increased 34.3 billion yen year-on-year to 69.8 billion yen (691 million U.S. dollars). Thisincrease was primarily due to a significant improvement in the operating results of the G&NS segment partially offset by a significant deterioration in the operating results of the MC segment.

'3.5m PS3+4 shipped vs 1.1m 360/XB1 in the same quarter' - wow as a future xbox owner this is great news. i hope ms keep getting their ass kicked, they coasted towards the end of last gen but with sony pounding them this time around they are really gona have to pull out all the stops

LOL...OMG that gif.

saved for future ownage moment

Ouch, I wonder how the Lemmings will spin this in MS' favor! Haha.

PSV+PSP = 0.75M, almost beat nintendo handheld number, 0.82M

I bet they sold some buildings to get them numbers up.

I smell shennanigans

$17 million dollar profit?????? ROFL. You are going to need a lot of these quarters to get back that last $1.2 billion dollar loss.

Godsoft just made $17 million during lunch.

huh? did u read the billion yen column or million dollar column? or.... you can't read financial statement?!?

here's a simplifed version

Sony tearin' it up. This is looking to be a repeat of 6th gen with these types of sales numbers.

LOL... MS is a quitter. They ain't gonna fight if the odds aren't in their favor. They're gonna abandon the Xbone and release the Xbox TWO in 2-3 years.

LOL, you actually think Sony is doing good as a company. Great quarter, bad last 5 years.

So basically because of layoffs, restructuring, sale of retail properties, and the closure/sell off of the vaio property they are profitable for a short bit.

Oh look, WilliamRLBaker is still here.

How's it going chief?

Justin spinning so hard he's going to start throwing up.

If you mean the indies and F2P games, they're on PC. Coming soon.

Sorry, i had too.

What I want to know is..

Is Sony doomed yet?

Sony should have never shut down their robot dog business...

he's kind of stuck, so he's just spinning his wheels, What a chap

I'm sure that all means something

Think you should have read that yourself before posting it. The 690 million is their operating income which is better but still weak compared to their competitors who makes billions in profit per quarter. I'm guessing gaming is now the core of Sony's business.

Thank goodness Praise the Lord!!!

@Zaibach:

Nope, not really. :P

But .. but.. but... Is losing to the wii u in Japan..hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

They won $680 millions...hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

But but but Sony is going bankrupt..

So basically another quarter like this and they already made the 1.2 billion dollars loss you held on to..lol

The best part is how the PS4 beat the xbox one shipments like 5 to 1.?

Step in the right direction.

Quarter 2-4 will be interesting. When their overhead cuts don't play into the numbers. If they pull a profit then. Sony may be in good shape.

These numbers right now do not represent true future numbers. Now actual profits will have to carry Sony. Unless more cut-backs are made.

Good news.

Its still mostly doomed, but not the Playstation division. Posting losses for over half a decade doesn't go away with one mildly positive quarter. But its a start. :)

Last time i check.

Infamous,MLB,Drive Club and LBP3 where not on PC..lol

See every time you hide behind PC lemming..hahahahaa

Sony said operating profit in the first quarter of its fiscal year surged to 69.8 billion yen ($680 million) from 35.5 billion yen a year earlier, easily beating the 16.6 billion yen expected according to the average of six analysts' estimates according to Thomson Reuters Starmine. A one-off gain from the sale of a technology facility in Japan also contributed nearly 15 billion yen to the quarterly operating profit, Sony said.

Clearly say PROFITS ...

Billions which are not related to the xbox one,as MS has been accuse of hiding loss on the xbox and surface brand under money made from Android patent money.

Fact is the PS4 out shipped the xbox one like 5 to 1 or more is killing it.

The thread keep delivering..hahahaha

@tormentos: "Shill can also be used pejoratively to describe a critic who appears either all-too-eager to heap glowing praise upon mediocre offerings, or who acts as an apologist for glaring flaws."

stop being a shill

Just go to shows you what by gamers FOR gamers mantra does. Real talk here guys,

And yet,people complained that M$ put their numbers together in the thread last week

I wasn't complaining you sad troll,i was making fun of it because sony use to do that with PS2+ Ps3 and lemming flame sony for it,so i had a blast calling out those who flamed sony and claimed that MS didn't have to do that..lol

Sony did it before MS did it dude your loss.

Where in my post did I point that to you?

"Sony said operating profit in the first quarter of its fiscal year surged to 69.8 billion yen ($680 million) from 35.5 billion yen a year earlier"

?

Congrats, Sony.

@-Damien-: Oh look, @tormentos, Sony combined PS3 & PS4 sales! Oh, the humanity!!!!

Great news! Bloody tough to make a profit so early in a console cycle (I presume that PS+ money helps).

Now lets see some games!

Cows,the hypocrites proven once again
