Sony Pictures does really bad thanks to the Ghostbusters reboot. Mobile division breaks even or makes a slight loss. Playstation division should remain healthy.

3.9 million PS4s shipped, down from 4 million last year.

Revenue and profits of the game division also down, mainly due to exchange rates and lower hardware prices.

Mobile made a profit? thats good....

very good results. 3.9 million in this quarter is simply a fantastic number. i wonder how much they will do next Q. last year they had special edition Starwars and CoD bundles. as well as a standard Starwars bundle. and they were really competitive when it came to prices and bundles. this year they seem way more dependent on the PS Pro.
