WOUW – I really hit a nerve there didn’t I LOL

Just read your own shit man – you say they have a market cap of 18.65 billion and below that you state they have 18 billion in cash reserves. Seems like the stock market doesn’t agree with you as to the brand value… they pay below cash value … LOL LOL LOL

He is stating an obvious fact about THE INDUSTRY IN GENERAL. As AAA budgets get more expensive and the market shrinks, less AAA games will be made. PS4 has tons of AAA games with many more on the way.

Why are microsoft fanboys so malicious and evil and love lying about “no money lolol”? Sony still has a large number of 1st party studios that are well funded, making money, and all working on PS4 games. Stop spreading lies and hate.

PS4 is outselling Xbox 8 million to 4.5 million yet there’s a disproportionately huge number of bitter microsoft shills on disqus spreading lies and hate about PS4, Sony, and anyone who likes their games. I wonder why that is.

Disqus is swarming with dumb, hateful, delusional, feces flinging ms fanboys constantly invading disqus and spreading lies, ignorance, and hatred. Like “BANKRUPT!!1″, “DOWNGRADE!!1″, “NOGAMES DELAY INDIESTATION!!1″, “RUNS BETTER ON XBOX!!1″ and “SONY LIED!!1″.

Another typical dumb, delusional, malicious, constantly wrong microsoft fanboy that has no clue about technology or sales, just feces flinging and screaming like an imbecile.

Apparently PS4’s stronger hardware, ~3.5 million sales lead, large number of 1st party developers, more games, and more developer support have microsoft fanboys extremely upset, causing them to spread lies and hatred. Thankfully everyone is ignoring these children and buying PS4s like hotcakes anyway.

8+ million PS4s and counting. Nothing you say will stop it, you are helpless. Keep lying and hating while everyone else ignores you.

It’s sad PS4 is dominating so badly that you’re left desperately wishing Sony would go bankrupt. Keep dreaming.

PS4 has the superior visuals on all console AAA multiplats, more dev support including indies, a large number of first party studios, free to play games and MMOs, and unannounced 1st party games. Titanfall 2 and future 3rd party games will almost certainly be on PS4.

1st/2nd party studios include Japan Studio, Polyphony Digital, Naughty Dog, SCE Bend, SCE San Diego, SCE Santa Monica, Sucker Punch, Pixel Opus, Evolution Studios, Guerrilla Games, Guerrilla Cambridge, SCE London, Media Molecule, Insomniac, Ready at Dawn, Quantic Dream, etc.

PS4 games not on Xbox One: Killzone, inFamous Second Son & First Light, Dynasty Warriors 8, Final Fantasy XIV, War Thunder, DC Universe, Yakuza Isshin and other Japanese games, MLB 14 The Show, Bound by Flame, Injustice Gods Among Us, Knack, Natural Doctrine, Uncharted, Planetside 2, Dragon Ball Z, MotoGP, Deep Down, Driveclub, The Last of Us Remastered, The Witness, The Order, LittleBigPlanet 3, Entwined, Bloodborne, Let It Die, Rachet & Clank, Kingdom Under Fire 2, Tropico 5, Guilty Gear Xrd, Samurai Warriors 4 and a ton of indies including Resogun.

PS4 will have the graphics advantage the entire gen. PS4 hardware and software will outsell Xbox globally the entire gen. PS4 will have more dev support and more 1st party games the entire gen. Sony still has a large number of 1st party studios and they’re all working on PS4 games. PS4 will make a net profit, Sony won’t go bankrupt.

It’s sad that Microsoft fanboy shills are so desperate that their only hope is for Playstation to disappear completely instead of continuing to dominate in sales.

Sony is selling or splitting off their lossy businesses (Vaio, TVs) and focusing on their profitable divisions. This means they’ll soon cut their losses and start turning a profit. You should be worried if Sony WASN’T cutting those losing divisions, but they’re making the right business decisions. They won’t ever be an empire again but they aren’t going under.

The gaming division and first party studios are well funded, are in a net profit, and working on PS4 games. During the quarter ending 31st December 2013 the Game business made a profit of $172m off the back of an impressive 64.6 per cent rise in sales year on year. Sony is in for a year or two of losses and restructuring, then provided their profitable divisions stay profitable, they’ll be on solid ground.

Sony is still worth 18.5 billion (in market cap). They just aren’t bringing in enough revenue or profits to bring that number up, and for a time, and probably for a few quarters here or there for the next few years, they might lose money. They also obviously have working capital, because they have games in development right now, and are able to market their newest system and do what they have to do to sell their products. If Sony were on the brink of bankruptcy, we wouldn’t be seeing AAA game announcements with budgets ranging from $50-100 million dollars. If they were on the brink of bankruptcy, they wouldn’t be buying Gaikai, or investing in new tech such as Morpheus or the PS4. PS4 will make a net profit, and Sony won’t go bankrupt.

Sony Game, Financial Services, Devices, Music, Mobile Products & Communications, and Pictures are all profitable divisions. They aren’t going anywhere, sorry.

Sony’s market cap is 18.65 billion as of today (2014).
Market cap in 2013 was 17.6 billion it has gone up since then.
Sony is ranked #80 in world as the most valuable brand 2013.

Sony is ranked #506 in the global 2000
#87 in Sales
#171 in Assets
#547 in Market value
78.52 billion dollars in sales in 2013

Sony Games Division FY 1995-2013:
-9+57+117+137+77-51+83+113+68+43+9-232-125-58-56+48+29+2-8 = 244 billion yen net profit

Yes the games division is still a NET PROFIT even after the PS3 losses, PS1 and PS2 were just that successful.

Sony still has over 18 billion in cash reserves, the loss they have is large no doubt about this, was already set aside in restructuring costs, by doing this now they are going to be saving in over 1 billion in costs! This takes time, and in that time if Sony did not do what the board has done it would have been far worse, over 2 billion in further losses.

The point is playstation stock is not for public buy in. Sony has over 148 billion in physical assets, sony could indeed liquidate every thing except for smart phones, entertainment and playstation and still have paid off debt, and still have 18 billion on hand to invest back into the three core pillars of the company.
