It is clear that the PlayStation 5 has become the most popular console in recent years. Now, Sony has shared its financial results for the most recent fiscal quarter, where it has been revealed that This piece of hardware has surpassed 60 million units sold.
According to the official report, the PlayStation 5 sold more than 2.4 million units between April and June 2024. This means that more than 61 million PS5s have been sold since its launch.However, this number represents a decrease compared to the 3.3 million units that were registered during the same period in 2023.
With this, Sony reported an overall 12% increase in gaming revenue year-over-yearwhich translates to a 33 percent increase in profits. This increase can be attributed to both an 18% increase in software revenue compared to what was recorded in 2023, as well as a 25% increase in network services revenue, predominantly PS Plus.
In this case, it has been pointed out that The number of PlayStation Plus users has reached 116 millionwhich represents an increase from the 108 million recorded during the same period last year, but is a drop compared to the 118 million recorded in the previous quarter.
For its part, Software sales have decreased by 5% compared to the first quarter of last year. Let’s remember that during the first half of 2024 we did not see the release of a new Sony first party game. Although titles like Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin They were good exclusives, they didn’t become the reason to buy a PlayStation 5.
With titles like Astro Bot planned for the coming months, Sales may improve a bit, but it is clear that 2024 will be a slow year for PlayStation. In related news, here are the PlayStation Plus games for August. Sony also reduces the price of the PlayStation VR2.
Author’s Note:
It’s been a tough year for Sony, and without some exclusives that will win over consumers, it’s clear that 2024 won’t be the company’s year. At most, sales may see a slight increase in the second half, but not anything compared to what has been seen in previous years.
