Sony finally solved the PlayStation 5 supply problem. The proof is in his final three-month financial report for 2022. The company has sold 7.1 million of his PS5 consoles. Previous year.
As a result, game and network services revenue increased from 813 billion yen in the same period in 2021 to 1,246 billion yen, a significant increase of 53%. More importantly, the majority of sales came from hardware rather than digital content like in the same period last year (game sales are also up).
In total, Sony has sold 32.1 million PlayStation 5 units since its launch (up from 25 million total in November). The goal is for him to reach 37 million by the fiscal quarter (he ends in March, not December). PlayStation Plus subscribers have declined, but monthly active users have increased slightly.

Image sensor sales increased and Sony increased its production capacity compared to the same period in 2021. The company expects lower sales in the next quarter, but this will be “partially offset by an improved product mix,” meaning it will sell more expensive sensors on average.
There were others, but what are they? That’s right, phone! Unfortunately this is not good news. In his last three months of 2022, the mobile telecom sector generated revenue of ¥93 billion from his ¥102 billion in the same period in 2021.
