I guess that proves there isn't a PS5 after all because Sony aren't investing in it.Usually Sony was posting large decreases of profits or significant losses near the end of a generation due to R&D costs.
Numbers look much better than what they were showing traditionally
Plus must be contributing a lot to that.
PlayStation Network generated over $12.48B in 2019 thanks to :
PlayStation Store ($9.28B) through Games and Add-on content (MTX, DLC, etc...) purchases
PS Services ($3.20B) with PS+ and PS Now
2019 is the 2nd highest revenue ever generated by PlayStation Network (#2 for PS Store ; #1 for Services) and during that year :
103 million players each spent ~ $90.14 on average on the PlayStation Store*
about 40m PS+/PS Now subscribers spent ~ $6.66/month on average ($79.92/year)**
*calculated by the following formula : "Yearly Total Spending on PS Store" / "MAU at the end of the year"
**calculated by the following formula : "Yearly Network Services Revenue" / "Amount of PS+ & PS Now subscribers at the end of the year"
Xbox elite 2 is the fifth fastest selling console accessory in the US after 3 months. It is behind 2 Kinect bundles, the ds4 and the Wii move + controller. Not by unit sales but rather dollar amount.

Normally we'd call that 'top grossing' rather than 'faster selling'. No idea what NPD are doing here ranking 'top selling' peripherals by dollar value.Xbox elite 2 is the fifth fastest selling console accessory in the US after 3 months.

They are simply hiding the most interesting numbers. Probably because they want to sell you the real information (for a ridiculously high price).Normally we'd call that 'top grossing' rather than 'faster selling'. No idea what NPD are doing here ranking 'top selling' peripherals by dollar value.
$229 and $279 might be good spots for them too. That's gives them some room for holiday deals when the ps5 is sold out.If ps5 ends up being 499$ I wouldn't be surprised to see ps4 sales climb back up somewhat. Some of those people waiting for ps5 likely would end up wanting to buy cheaper option and opt to upgrade later on (thanks BC). Especially so if sony can lower ps4 entry price to 199$.
Did they ever release any numbers for the xb1 digital edition?
Halo: The Master Chief Collection is currently the best selling game Worldwide on Steam.
The lift comes after the recent release of Halo CE into the Collection It seems sales spikes will happen with each game added.
If Halo Infinite delivers high quality, could be huge on PC
its sort of interesting that when we look at the sales of this title, it continues to just keep selling. It does indicate to a degree that they lost their fanbase somewhere along the line.Funny that CE is what did it for the title, when it has very little difference to the original pc port of the game 20 years ago.
Its MCC CE is a good PC port of a One port of a 360 port of a mediocre PC port of a XboxOG game.
