Not interested in the way it’s done right now
Try it. I used to knock until I got one. The experience is wild. It puts you right into the game. It’s not just a screen in your face. It’s a whole new experience with you inside of it. I’ve heard a bunch of people say what you’ve said without realizing it’s pretty much the way you would imagine wanting it to be. It’s the closest thing to actually getting plugged into the matrix.

Xbox, pc sales, software are all part of the same division. Don't worry, I checked.

I'm talkin unit sales of XB1 this gen. Don't worry, they aren't being reported.
:jbhmm:

I don't think that matters if gaming is all under one umbrella for them now.

Unit sales matter even less than the did (this gen) with Gamepass and xcloud

The Xbox sector of the division did 11 plus billion last year. The whole division did over 40.


That's why I found it wild how much they paid for Zenimax.

Due to COVID-19, sales for many entertainment devices increased a lot. You couldn't find a Switch for quite awhile (I think its still difficult to find), so take this with a grain a salt.
Yup. Everyone's numbers were up. Sony had their best quarter ever during the first quarter for them this year (April thru June)

Next

Today Sony announced its Q1'20 financials and broke a number of records in the process. The PlayStation division made over $1 billion in profits on $5.63 billion in total revenues, becoming the top Q1 earner in the decades-long history of gaming. This is also the first time Sony's gaming branch made over $1 billion in a quarter.

PlayStation pulled in 48% of Sony's total company profits ($2.17 billion) during the period. This is the best operating profit for PlayStation of any quarter ever. PlayStation revenues like software, which spiked tremendously, helped drive Sony's Q1 profits by over 50% year-over-year.

PlayStation's Q1'20 revenues are higher than all of Xbox's historical quarterly gaming earnings, even those in the holiday period, and are a historical high for Q1 PlayStation earnings.

Gaming also accounted for nearly 31% of Sony's total quarterly revenues, up 7 percentage points from Q1'19.
