Sony just recently shared its latest earnings report, which revealed that its PS5 consoles are seeing robust sales. The company has sold more than 25 million units of its PlayStation 5 console model to date. So here are all the details.
As per official notes, the Japanese tech giant shared that it sold around 3.3 million units of PlayStation 5 consoles in just this quarter alone. With this, the company has managed to sell over 25 million units of the PS5 to date. Furthermore, the brand also projected that it would sell a total of 18 million PS5s by the end of the fiscal year 2022. Although, the brand has only sold around 5.7 million units halfway through the fiscal year, which means it is far short of its sales expectation as of right now.
However, despite Sony not seeing any notable rise in unit sales over last year, the revenue from the sales saw a noticeable rise of 12 percent. This was thanks in part due to the hike in pricing earlier this year. But, the profits were down by a significant 49 percent due to the company’s recent acquiition of known game developing studio Bungie, which was behind the original Halo trilogy.
Sony only sold around 11.5 units of the PS5 game console last year, so we can expect the 2022 sales to be more than the previous year. But it remains to be seen if the company manages to achieve its 18 million units sales target. Back in May 2022, the brand had also announced that it will be ramping up production of the PS5 to meet demand while the supply chain issues were easing. Since it still sticking to an 18 million units target, the company might have an ace up its sleeve. So stick around for more updates.
