Sony has just posted their Q3 2014 earnings which cover the September 1st and December 31st time period with some very positive results. While we’ve been unable to post a rosy picture of their electronics division as of late, PlayStation seems to be headed in the right direction. For the period, Sony sold a whopping 6.4 million PS4 units which have helped the division stay in the black, aka profitable. Over all, PlayStation was up 16.8% year-on-year.

After the jump, sales number from PS3 and PS Vita.

PlayStation sales breakdown by console:

  • PS4 – 6.4 million
  • PS3 – 1.1 million
  • PS Vita/PSP – 1.4 million

From Sony:

  This significant increase was primarily due to an increase in PS4 hardware unit sales, the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates and a significant increase in network services revenue, partially offset by a decrease in PlayStation®3 (“PS3”) hardware and PS3 software sales. Sales to external customers increased 19.7% year-on-year. 

We’ll have more on Sony’s Q3 2014 earnings result as soon as we comb through the information.

Do you think the PS4 needs a price cut or is PlayStation doing well enough?
