Strange - we see PS5 games doing well in the charts all the time.

 

[Bulletbrain]

No they aren't. Just third and first party sales are down.

It said decrease in losses from hardware.

That means they are still making losses, but less than the comparative period. Hence it's a positive.

The next time someone shares a Takashi Bloomberg article against Sony, show them this quarter's financial reports and then the following Takashi tweet:

[Luminoth-4545]

Absolutely gigantic quarter, PS5 made up 3.9 million on PS4 and only trails by 1.8 million launched aligned. Sony forecasts a massive 25 million for the current FY which is 5 million more than PS4's FY 2016/17 so they expect PS5 to be around 3 million above PS4 by this time next year.

PS5 had the best FY2 of any Playstation console and if they can hit their target in FY3 it will be another record for a Playstation console and will only be behind DS which shipped 30.31 million in FY3.

* Q4 remaining, forecast to ship 18 million

 

[Dick Jones]

I agree with Takashi's workings. Sony were hoping for 700 million PS5s sold in this quarter and only sold a pitiful (world record for the quarter) 6.3m sales. Excellent reporting Takashi.

 

[TheTony316]

Insane numbers. 6,3 million is a new Q1 record for any console. Previously it was the PS2 in 2005 with 6.02 million.

 

[Vroadstar]

6.3m PS5 sold​

PSVR2 launched and they made multiple console revisions (which do cost money to produce, manufacture, etc…). Also they said they would work hard to solve manufacturing bottlenecks and they did, but that also has a fixed cost to it too.

My man, being wrong at every turn but still pushing his agenda.

 

[onQ123]

It says reduction in losses...you can't make a profit in something and reduce losses.

It's not psvr 2 as that thing is blatantly being sold as a profit and that showed in the other section. Hardware is ps5.

I don't know how more clear it can be....

$499 broke even $399 taking a lost , the digital model is more available now

 

[TheTony316]

Is he talking about Japan or WW? If it's the latter, it doesn't make any f*n sense.

Jim Ryan is having one hell of a week, wow!

Bro, do simple maths....the digital version sells like 1/4 to 1/5th of the disk....it doesn't add up.

So what are you suggesting the digital loses? Enough to wipe out half of your operating income.... 30% to 15%?

IF they make 5 dollar profit on disc model, then it its like 95 dollar loss on PS5 digital. This is equal to 700 million dollar loss in two years. I did the math in my head and this is what I think.

I swear Jim Ryan was presenting and showed a graph of PS5 where PS5 was going to be profitable in couple of months, but I don't know if they had numbers on the graph.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

catastrophic numbers indeed. Sony just evade a death blow thanks to the blocking of certain acquisition. now back to sweet dreams to me.

The hell? I didn't say that I was pointing out the things that would lead to a decrease

There you go mate.

 

[Luminoth-4545]

Biggest Q4 (Jan to Mar) quarter ever beating the 5.81 million set by DS in 2008.

All quarterly data up to FY9 from high selling consoles, taken from Nintendo and Sony's financial reports.

Launch aligned quarterly sales from 100 million selling consoles.

 

[H-I-M]

It's time to update the PIE

 

[Alex Scott]

There you go mate.

Thanks.
Can't say how much Ps5 is profitable by looking at the graph, but probably not by much

 

[Spitfire098]

I'm beginning to think he caught a guy screwing his girlfriend while wearing a PlayStation shirt and he's been bitter ever since.

Jim Ryan does speak Japanese

 

[Mahavastu]

Impressive numbers!
Are there anywhere the number of PSVR2 sales? Sorry, I do not have time to read the full release for a few hours

 

[Heisenberg007]

By the way, EOY 2022 figures were like:

• PS5 = 32 million
• Xbox Series = 18.5 million

End of Q1 2023 would be:

• PS5 = 38.5 million
• Xbox Series = ~20.5 million (keeping previous pacing trends the same)

So the worldwide ratio is already almost 2:1 now. 1.9x, to be precise.

Since the cma decision cloud is no longer relevant in the gaming world , at least to some people.

Xbox only shipped 1M consoles this quarter (estimated based on hw revenue).

 

[OCL]

Why is PS5's demand suddenly become that high? Even surpassing the best season sales against PS2

It always been that high

Congratulations to all Shareholders

This basically means we're heading into 2:1 territory faster this gen than last one right? Holy shit...

Do we know what the ratio is for Series X|S? I'm guessing the majority are Series S.

 

[Godot25]

Not even one mention of PSVR2?
I guess it is selling gangbusters...
