It looks like things are really looking up for Sony these days as the Japanese electronics giant posted an increased sales and cut its operating loss in the company’s first fiscal quarter results ending June 30.

 

According to it's financial statement released today, Sony recorded a net profit of US$ 289 million for the first quarter, with sales up 3.8 percent equating to US$ 18.7 billion that further slimmed down its operating loss from US$ 422.1 million a year earlier to $43 million, thanks mainly to the low-cost PS3 Slim.

The PS3 unit sales more than doubled this year, moving 2.4 million units in the quarter as compared to 1.1 million units the previous year with it's software sale reaching 24.8 million units (up against last year's 10 million units).

On the PSP side, things are looking a bit differently as the handheld sale continue to decline from 1.3 million units last year to 1.2 million units this quarter, but interestingly however, software sales for the handheld jumped up to 9.2 million this quarter, as compared to 8.3 million last year. The PlayStation 2 hardware remained the same as last year with 1.6 million units but it's software dropped significantly, from 8.5 million units to 3.4 million.

Good Job SONY!!!!

Now how about tyou acknowledge all the people that have had their systems bricked by the 3.41 Update! Or how about how you can no longer install a new hard drive because the full update file of 3.41 won't install!!!

that would be super duper!

the PS2 will probably be discontinued by 2011 if the software profit (PS2 games) dropped $5.1 million. once PS2 game development seizes then the console will die.

i wanna see the PSP-2 arrive.

psp will never profit. people will always find a way to mod and download free games. honestly if the games were cheaper i'd gladly support sony, but 40 bucks for a portable game? thanks, but no thanks

$40=£25

I paid £21 for Peace Walker (was 20 but wanted next day delivery), and given the quality of that game I'd pay £30 no problem. You honestly are a cheapskate, squire. There are lots of handheld games made by large studios with big budgets that are better than their home console versions (case in point; how much better PW is over MGS4).

I wasn't aware I was talking to a moron who can't read numbers -

"Compared to the same time last year, the division that houses the PlayStation brand is in a much better place, even though it still operates at a loss."

operating at a loss doesn't mean it's losing money... it means it's still at a negative number, but it is making money

btw, was it really necessary to call me a moron? asshole

who cares about ps2 sales? Sony made billions with the ps2 back in the days because it had the biggest exclusive game libary, it killed the gamecube and the xbox!!!

ps2 - 497 exclusives!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
xbox - 76 exclusives
gamecube - round about 100 exclusives

PS2 whooped every consoles ass! Hardware doesnt mean anything within one genration of consoles!

Of course it means nothing. That is why the PS2 won last gen, the Wii will win this gen, the DS won the most recent handheld gen. Hardware means squat.

Bear in mind that 99% of the PS2 exclusives are terrible examples of games (just like the Wii is now). The ratio of total to good quality titles favours the GC the best though, much like the PS3 now!
There are some really interesting correlations out there.

I have no idea. Everyone I know and ever will meet, has a PSP and if they don't want one they never will. How do they still have 1 200 000 sales of the PSP? Like who just realizes, hey I need a PSP, out of nowhere? Especially since they are not the top notch handheld gaming system either... I just don't know...

I think, nay, I reckon it's because you don't know everyone and you're basing your expectations of the entire human race on your little exposure to them within your circle of friends.

I am really happy that the PS2 is still selling strongly. It was so well done! The improvements from the ps1 to the ps2 were more appreciated than those from the ps2 to the ps3.
