Overview
- Sony shipped 3.9 million PS5s in the quarter ended September 30, lifting lifetime shipments to 84.2 million and reporting 119 million PlayStation Network monthly active users.
- Ghost of Yōtei sold about 3.3 million copies in its first month, contributing to higher first‑party and total software sales across PS5 and PS4.
- Sony raised its full‑year gaming revenue outlook, but said Game & Network Services operating income fell roughly 13% due in part to impairment losses tied to Bungie and Destiny 2.
- CFO Lin Tao said PS5 is 'only in the middle of the journey' and the company plans to extend the console’s lifecycle, while declining to discuss a successor.
- Time‑aligned results show PS5 roughly tracking PS4 at five years, and industry reports note the console’s 84.2 million shipments now exceed the Xbox 360 and every prior Xbox model.
