the ps4 is just what sony needed



god bless this world

well they still need to dump their tvs and phones and mp3 players and pretty much any manufactured good that isn't the ps4 or cameras lol

but maybe this year if they're careful they'll have as little as $1 billion in losses

eh i like their cheap in-ear headphones

i thought the tv division was doing well? 


honestly, if it isn't.  sony would probably be better off if it streamlined the models they have, it's annoying trying to find one since there's so many

and actually only -1.4 billion this year if their projections are accurate

things are looking up !!

and agreed, half of sony's problem is manufacturing too many pointless variants of the same device

lol we'll see about that

also:

Sony is also planning to "spin out" some more areas into their own wholly owned subsidiaries, in the way it did previously for SCE. TV and mobile are the first expected targets of this, with some expecting at least one of these risky and embattled sectors to be sold off entirely in the way that the Vaio PC business was.

i suspect it will be phones.  sony's tvs at least have some prestige, whereas sony can't even get a google play edition of of the z3 compact

jesus christie, sony mobile

and it's true, sony has no relevance in manufacturing anymore except in video games

also:

the order will save the ps4
bloodborne will save the ps4

[PLEASEHELP1991]

why does the ps4 need a savior? It's selling despite the lack of any clear direction (read: games)

1886 is the number of hours you'll play the game for minus the current year multiplied by -1

[Kalahari Inkantation]

the order: 18.86 fps for that """cinematic""" feel
