As you will have understood, with 12.3 million PS5s for sale from October 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023, the Japanese manufacturer will have to accelerate the pace, even if the Japanese manufacturer admits having actually produced 6.5 million PS5 over the last three months. He would therefore still have some ammunition left, no doubt in view of the end-of-year celebrations. In particular, it is counting on the gradual lifting of certain restrictions on the supply of components to flood the market. According to him, there is even a chance that he will do better than the 18 million target.
On the PlayStation Plus side (which is now available in three formulas), there is a slight drop (45.4 million users today, 47.3 million last year). As for games, 62.5 million were sold on both PS4 and PS5, including 6.7 million from first party studios. Finally, while Sony Interactive Entertainment posted a 12% increase in turnover compared to last year (4.9 billion euros), operating profit was down 49% (287 million euros). .
