After Sony decided to make the PlayStation Plus subscribers’ figure public in the previous quarter, they continue this tradition.
Yesterday, we already discussed the Japanese’s company’s financial results (in short: Game & Network Services, where PlayStation is, goes strong, while the mobile segment is disappointing), but we should talk about the PlayStation Plus results separately. (Don’t forget, Sony will announce the August line-up for the subscribers later today, so we will get back to the subject when they reveal the games!)
At the end of March, PlayStation Plus had 34.2 million subscribers. In the April-June quarter, this number has shrunk by 0.3 million – the service that is necessary to play games online on PlayStation 4 has 33.9 million subs at the end of June.
There’s one more piece of information we can dissect: in the previous quarter, 40.6 million games were shipped, and 43% of them were sold digitally on PlayStation Network. The January-March quarter also had a 43% ration, although then, 52 million games were sold. With the two quarters’ sales, we can say that the Japanese company is currently at 737.6 million games, and if we add the 82.2 million shipped PlayStation 4s, that means one console has an average of 8.97 games. Not bad.
PlayStation Plus is still strong, and there’s a possibility that the July-September quarter will see another drop, but we’re confident the number will turn positive by the end of March 2019.
