The "only" reason PS4 is making a $12 profit after losing $41 per PS4 sold, is the massive layoffs at every level & development studio at the PlayStation Division.
M$ has made a $71 profit off the XBOX ONE from the very fist day the XBOX ONE went on sale.
This is why the XBOX ONE Games Division suffered "zero" layoffs! The 200 layoffs XBOX ONE has, was from the short films division; not effecting the Halo Movies or Quantum Break Movi...
Well, when a game isn't linear, it uses more resources. Also, if it's running
campaign co-op, it will really eat resources.
Killzone, Knack, Infamous sales all sucked. What are you talking about "poor XBOX ONE"? Poor Sony, sell a PS4 game!
It's amazing how many of you don't know a thing about business or how to read a financial report.
The XBOX ONE "is" profitable. It's been profitable from day 1.
The PS4 wasn't, maybe they should sell its games division. PS4 only became profitable "after" it laid off 100 ' of workers in each & every development house they own: Including, Guerilla Games, Naughty Dog, & Sony Santa Monica. Then they only made $1...
Ahh, the article said nothing & confirmed nothing. As in all Drive Club articles.
This is funny!
SONYs lineup for the PS4 is crap.
Killzone, Infamous, Knack, stories all frigging suck. Those games have zero staying power& were outsold by Forza, TitanFall, Ryse, & Dead Rising 3.
M$ needs to do nothing but bring that awesome line up out: Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, Project Spark, & Halo Master Chief Collection to close 2014.
That line up kills the PS4s offering for the rest of the year.
...
Wow guys! It's about time!
Agreed!
Absolutely!
I'm going to make this an event, when HMCC drops.
Sony hasn't reported anything actual either.
In fact, the PlayStation division hasn't recorded a profit in 8 years. Except, the one quarter Sony passed it's R&D costs to another division within Sony Corp.
The PS4 is finally making a $12 profit off the PS4 only after they laid off hundreds in every department & development studio owned by Sony. Including Naughty Dog & Sony Santa Monica.
The XBOX ONE is more profitable ...
@GameNameFame,
The PS4 sure isn't showing 50% more power in its exclusives:
Killzone Shadow Fall: no Campaign Co-op, shoot an enemy in the chest they fall forward...ridiculous
Infamous Second Son: "hop" up a building to a window, look at the building behind you, then look at the same building through the reflection...it isn't the same building! I mean LMAO! It's like the building turns into a McDonald's, a Gas Stat...
LMAO!
XBOX ONE owners played Gears!
Campaign Co-op!
Horde Mode!
Great Multilayer!
LMAO!
XBOX ONE owners don't want TLOU, they'll wait on the better Gears game or play their 360s
Well:With games like;
Forza Motorsport 5 1080p 60fps
Forza Horizon 1080p 30fps
Halo Master Chief Collection 1080p 60fps
The other multiplats must step it up!
Also, Halo does it in Campaign Co-op.
@lifeisgamessok,
Exactly!
The PS4 is riding on pure hype. Infamous, Killzone:Shadow Fall, & Knack have all done nothing. Those games have no staying power at all. And Drive Club is doing absolutely nothing that it said it was going to do. So why is the PS4 selling, hype of Power.
Power that isn't on display in any of their games as they do absolutely nothing special:
Killzone: where's the co-op?
Infamous:open world...
It's clear you didn't read the article. The XBOX Division isn't a part of this at all.
SONY clearly laid off many in every division within the PlayStation Brand at all levels, including other SONY departments. This is far different than what M$ is doing. This always happens when a company buys another failing company.
XBOX Division is bringing more people on.
See Black Tusk Studios

Turn 10
1080p native doesn't matter. I'd rather the game have Campaign Co-op, Splitscreen, & Online, so I'd have more replay value.
Halo Master Chief Collection will be 1080p 60fps across 4 games & I don't care about that, as every game played on the XBOX ONE is upscaled to 1080p anyway.
On the Halo Master Chief Collection, what I do care about is the move the move to horizontal splitscreen campaign co-op & online campaign co-op in Halo ...
@Spotie,
Click that "Bloomberg" link. There you can get away from the highly speculative, click-bait nature of "Nowgamer". There you'll read about the Nokia acquisition & M$ having 127,000 employees. That's more than Apple & Google. When mergers & acquisitions happen, the weaker company will suffer some cuts.
The same doesn't apply to SONY as they were losing money in "all" divisions. Losing so much th...
I can't wait to see gameplay also.
I can't wait to play TLOU in campaign co-op. Also, the all new Horde Mode. I think it was a great move to include all this new content.
@Spotie,
You forgot to mention: SONY cut backwards compatibility from the PS3 with the PS3 Slim, after making it a selling point against the XBOX 360. Then re-sold you a GOW Remake people just purchased.
XBOX 360 started with only about 10-20 games being backwards compatible, then did a "180", making more than 90% of its original XBOX Games compatible with 360.
It's funny people keep saying the XBOX ONE isn't about games,...
