August’s new PS Plus Games are…
Sony said this “significant” increase was due to increases in PlayStation 4 game sales. The company reports that that division made $2.365 billion during last quarter. This generation’s top console right now is obviously Playstation 4, but Xbox One still has its fans. According to Microsoft’s own data, the company sold 1.4 million Xbox consoles, both One and 360 units, during the same time frame.
Sony announced its Q1 2015 earnings on Thursday, with 3 million PlayStation 4 consoles sold between April 1 and June 30. The division manufactures components for other devices, including the camera sensors used in several high-end smartphones. How well? Sony has revealed that its seemingly unstoppable console has now shifted a staggering 25.3m units worldwide, and its sales are only increasing.
As well as those two titles, PS3 players will also be able to get their hands on God of War: Ascension, which is a notable inclusion given the recently released God of War 3 Remaster.
Both consoles promised cutting edge graphics and wonderful integrated online features, as well as a lineup of games which would make the most of those delicious tech specs but even as early as Christmas 2013 there was already a clear victor as the PS4 soared ahead in sales.
The new update rolls out August 4th, so don’t forget to grab last months games before that date.
In an article written on Arstechnica, they’ve done all the number crunching and examined the results, and as expected Sony’s console is doing very well.
Sony reported revenues of US$14.8bn, which were flat year-on-year, mainly due to poor sales of smartphones and home entertainment products like mid-range LCD TVs.
As for Sony as a whole, sales were flat due to decreases in smartphone sales and mid-range LCD television sales. The mobile division has really been struggling with a loss of $184 million, 16% worse than the same period of past year.
