Sony Earnings Take a Bit Hit

Posted Feb 3, 2012 at 4:55PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Kaz Hirai, ps vita, Sony

The company loses $2.03 billion in Q3, marking its fourth year of consecutive losses.

Things don’t look too great over at Sony this morning. The company has announced its earnings figures for the last quarter in 2011, and numbers are down, big time. Sony, as a whole, posted a net loss of around $2 billion – a 17.4% drop from the same quarter last year.

It wasn’t all black clouds over at Sony, however. Sony Consumer Products and Services, a.k.a. the PlayStation wing of the company, lost a little less - $1.09 billion. PS3 sales went up, but not enough to prevent the company from taking a pretty large hit. Unfortunately, sales numbers for the PS Vita were not provided.

Sony listed a few reasons for the revenue tumble, including a difficult market, tough exchange rates and the floods that occurred in Thailand. The company has also recently appointed Kaz Hirai, the man behind the PlayStation brand, as its new CEO, so perhaps investors are hoping he can turn things around.

As usual, it’s important to note that a company posting a loss simply means they made less money during a particular quarter than the same quarter in the previous year. It doesn’t mean that Sony isn’t making a profit – the company is still raking in money hand over fist. All these figures indicate is that Sony could be in for some trouble if they’re unable to reverse the downward tumble.

Korea Considering Additional Gaming Limitations for Minors

Posted Jan 30, 2012 at 4:27PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: gaming law, mest, South Korea

Players under 18 may only be allowed three hours of game time per day.

You’re probably familiar with South Korea’s gaming shutdown law, which went into effect late last year. The law essentially blocks gamers under 18 from accessing online games during a six-hour block late in the night. The nation’s Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, however, is looking for even steeper measures.

MEST believes that the danger in gaming doesn’t come so much from when kids play as it does from how much time they spend playing. It makes sense when you think about it – what’s worse for your health, ten hours of daytime gaming, or one hour of late night play? With this in mind, the agency is currently reviewing a new program that will limit all minors in the country to only three hours of game time per day, with only two hours being allowed consecutively.

Resistance to the proposed rule has already reared its head, with many critics noting that South Korea is regulating gaming from three separate government agencies. Whatever the concern, South Korea has shown its willingness to interfere in the lives of gamers before, so there’s no telling whether this particular rule will or won’t be implemented.

We’ll keep you updated. In the meantime, do you think the government has a right to tell you when you can play games, and for how long? Is it right to try to protect young gamers from bad habits?

Vita Sales Still Tumbling

Posted Jan 18, 2012 at 3:48PM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: nintendo 3ds, vita

PlayStation’s new handheld is still struggling in Japan.

In Japan, Vita sales have been continually sluggish since the device’s initial launch. Last week’s numbers don’t look any better, with the system moving just 18,361 units. If you’re keeping score, that’s three consecutive weeks of tanking sales – these numbers do not inspire hope in the future of the device, at least in the Japanese market.

Naturally, the Vita has yet to see a global release and many of the device’s launch titles are bigger draws here in the west. And while we’ve talked previously about the issues facing Vita, we’re certainly not going to issue a verdict on the handheld’s success before it launches in every available market. But for now, things don’t really look great.

By comparison, the Nintendo 3DS had sold 742,244 units in its first few weeks of launch, with the Vita moving 458,347 over the same time period. That means Vita sales are about 300,000 units behind the 3DS, a device that received a prompt price drop due to low numbers. Does this mean a price drop is on the horizon for Vita? Maybe, maybe not.

For now, it’s obvious Sony needs to get some better titles out for the device to sway Japanese consumers. As for us in the west, we’ll get a chance to see how the Vita performs when it hits shelves in February.
