Operating income decreased 26.3 billion yen year-on-year to 17.7 billion yen. This significant decrease was primarily due to the absence of the significant contribution of a highly profitable first-party software title released in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year, as well as the above-mentioned impact of a price reduction for PS4 hardware.

The xbox division is more profitable than the PlayStation division by a huge margin lol !!
You need to train yourself to read the yearly published financials.
PlayStation made less profit than they did last year.
Pick that mic up again.
And yet it's more profitable than the PS4.
Just to add, can you please explain how selling 30 million units isn't a huge success?
Grinding for a single player game isn't even right.

Won't be buying. Not even pre-owned. Not even for free.
It's more profitable than the PS4.
