Sony FY22Q4 Earnings Report - 6.3m PS5 sold, 61% YoY growth (~340 HW growth)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 🙄
 
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.

Xbox only shipped 1M consoles this quarter (estimated based on hw revenue).
 
All this without the PS showcase. We barely know about any upcoming 1st party games so i expect a pretty amazing showcase from them. God knows when that happens tho

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