Sony loses money on every PS4 sold, PlayStation for PC, TV's, Smartphones? [LTPS #67]

A lot of interviews this week in the video game industry. And you know what that means, new interviews means new details. So we talk up the latest PS4 facts. But there are other thought provoking topics afoot this week. Sony has confirmed they lose money for every PS4 sold, not only that, but they express their interest in making PlayStation a service, not just hardware. Interesante indeed... Join me in this discussion won't you?

I gotta say, usually when I watch a console review or informational video I get bored, you sir are great with talking and keeping interest, great goin man

[MysticRyan]

No problem my friend. I hope we see it soon!

[prycebowles]

Dude, your pretty much my only source for playstation news, thanks.

[MysticRyan]

This is what Sony's engineers are saying, I'm not saying it's true, but caching can certainly have an affect an noise depending on exactly how the machine operates.

KZ Shadow Fall will not have any split screen, that's been confirmed. Sorry! I agree with you though, I really wish we saw more local co-op.

I don't know if you have touched on this before but I believe it to be a big deal! The audio jack will stream voice chat along with GAME You can plug any standard 3.5 mm headphone into the controller and hear game audio!

Hey I must say this is my first time seeing your channel, I thought it was very good... Though dam out of the topic description you only did like less than a min on it (didn't actually count)

[MysticRyan]

Well it was just a cover story. In these videos I try to cover a lot of other stuff too! But I can't type it all into the title.

[MysticRyan]

PS4 will only have two USB ports on the front. You could get a USB hub though!

[Proagrassiv]

That is just fair. The PS4 costs 400 Euros in Europe, that is converted approximately 540 Dollars. Sony would make just a greater loss, if they sell this bundle in the US with that current value of the US Dollar.

yes it should work fine seeing as though the consoles will not be region locked.... but i do believe the uk uses 220 volts while we use 110... so you will need an adapter to be able to use it safely.

Doctor:whats seems to be the problem
Nurse:the patient appears to have blown his ass out.
Doctor:dont tell me were having another tacobell paystation sweepstake

[FrazerGoddon]

I still dont fully understand why there is no cd support. That seems odd

[LiveseyCat]

I'm pretty sure most consoles ever sold in history lost money on hardware, they make it back on games sales

[wubagong]

i actually liked this video, good and factual and not to bias. thanks. one more subscriber for you

[nelly]

No you can load your cd to the cloud then listen to it its just not a cd player

[MysticRyan]

PlayStation is no doubt my preferred place to play, but gamers should try and own every platform incase of a good game, no matter where it is. (:

[SimonElias]

Sony might lose money on each PS4 sold but each playstation plus subscription sold is nearly all profit to them.

[victortoribio]

Great vids your a very good speaker keep up the good work!!

[MrAustinValentine]

they have to. when the consumer is happy, the consumer will consume. the best way to keep a company going is to give the people what they want.
