Sony has sold over 25 million PS5s
this quarter, matching exactly what it did last year and bringing total units sold since launch to 25 million. Its numbers this quarter are far short of what it needs to hit the 18 million PS5 sales target for fiscal year 2022, though. Sales halfway through the fiscal year are now at 5.7 million, which is also nearly the same as 2021 at this point .
Despite the equal number of PS5s sold, revenue was up significantly over last year to 727 billion yen , thanks in part to aearlier this year. However, profit was down by 49 percent due to the company's recent acquisition of Bungie, along with game developer cost increases. Sony sold 11.5 million consoles last year, so it's a good bet that 2022 sales will be about the same . However, a lot depends on holiday sales and whether it can keep production up with demand. That's a problem that hassince it arrived, due to the pandemic and other issues. In May, Sony said that it will finally be able to ramp up production to meet PS5 demand as supply chain issues ease.
