At least MS says GP is profitable. So that solves that uncertainty.
Cant say the same for Sony sub plans. They've never stated profitability for PS+ or PS Now. And Sony historically dissects gaming data for the public more than MS does. So for them to not say if their sub plans are profitable means they really are losing big time on it. If it was a big money maker they'd say it by now showing receipts.
That’s rich.
If Microsoft gives no receipts or evidence for GP profitability = trust Phil on his very vague comment regarding profitability without even an ounce of surface level analysis
If Sony does not disclose exact profitability data on every little thing (despite not doing this ever at a granular level), it must mean they are losing big time on it. If they are losing big time on subs, why are they posting huge profits? Sony doesn’t hide their gaming division behind the umbrella of the entire company.
The fact is, Sony’s subs do not canabalize their retail sales like is the case with GP. So their title’s profitability can be measured purely by retail alone; the sub service revenue is just icing on the cake.
The mental gymnastics in this thread is hilarious.
