Our Take
PlayStation continues to perform extremely well. Though the positive numbers for the holiday period are due, in-part, to God of War Ragnarok’s monumental success, it’s impressive nonetheless.
As we continue to say, all of the big three continue to impress financially and we’re excited for this generation to continue to evolve!
