Overview
- Sony shipped 3.9 million PS5 units in the quarter ended September 30, lifting lifetime shipments to 84.2 million and keeping hardware roughly flat year over year with a gain of about 100,000 units.
- Total software sales across PS5 and PS4 rose to 80.3 million from 77.7 million a year earlier, underscoring resilient demand.
- First‑party titles climbed to 6.3 million from 5.3 million, with Ghost of Yotei contributing to the increase.
- Monthly active users reached 119 million, up from 116 million a year ago, and Sony is rolling out a Christmas marketing campaign to drive holiday engagement.
- Game and Network Services revenue grew 4% year over year while operating income fell 13%, which Sony linked in part to an impairment related to Bungie as Destiny 2 performance trailed expectations.
