4.2
It has been a good few months for Sony's Playstation division, they are reporting a massive increase to operating profit that is likely linked to the recent PS4 launch.

In the third quarter that division reported a 64 percent increase in sales adding up to a sweet $4.2 billion. Compared to last year their operating income ballooned nearly 300 percent to $172 million.

Sony did not break down individual unit sales but did indicate that between their line of consoles and handhelds they sold almost 10 million unit in their third quarter along with 126 million game software sales to boot.

Resort Oh my god that is a boat lode of money! how do people make this much money but the economy sucks D:


becuase over 80% goes to paying the high ups. very little goes to helping the middle and lower class. welcome to capitalism.


They take more risk in their position and generally input some capital. Higher risk equals more money (potential)
