What is this "profit" you speak of ? I have never heard of this term - various gaf posters.
 
Seeing a 4.2% YoY increase in console sales is nice considering everybody seemed to think consoles are dying and that it was on a decline.

Barely any great games this year either.

People now buy PlayStation regardless, it's just become the default console for everyone.

People keep saying this but they had more great releases than any other system bar very arguably only Switch 2. PS5 got every game released this year on any other system plus DS2, the only notable releases it didn't get are MKW and DK. That's it, 1 extra game.

This idea that PlayStation sells regardless of releases is flawed and I hope PS don't take it to heart.

With GTA6 coming? Which studio would commit seppuku?

First party won't, but there are third parties who will. Namco will probably drop a new Tales game the same week as GTA. They seem to always find the biggest (or one of the biggest) releases of the year to drop that series around for some stupid reason.

They'll sell roughly 20m in the next year

GTA 6 will get it over the line should it release on time

I don't think they'll sell 20m. next year, there'll be some slowdown, but the game will be BIG.

The best case scenario is PS5 selling slightly better on FY26 versus FY25.
The only instance of a SIE console selling better on a further FY after the decline period started, that I can think of, is PS2 selling slightly better on FY05 versus FY04. Which are, funnily enough, equivalent to the aforementioned quarters regarding PS5.

It'll be hard for sure, really depends on the type and price of the bundles (if they're real).

And whether if the Pro will be able to have a 60fps mode or not.
 
They would make even more profit without their first party games. They have become the Steam of consoles. Thanks to powerful and cheap hardware, thanks to Cerny.

But their games are shit or non-existant bar 2 games.

1bn$ operating profit is brutal. Sony solidifying it's grip on the market.
Overall strong quarter, not just for PS but for almost all Sony
"where are 1st party games" crowd just can't get a break

PS. Why people keep posting FCF? As if it matters for a company in near-zero interest rate environment and own bank.

It's a historical record for any G&NS quarter, right?
 
Is that the ps3 gen that lost all that money. I thought it was profitable at the end?

Great profits, sales should only increase with the slow death of their main competitor.

Sony got this locked in. They dont need to release games anymore.
 
SIE results have been so good this quarter that they increased their revenue and operating income forecast (which already were record ones) for this fiscal year.

No first party game for the first half of 2026?

"Impact of a delay in the launch timing of a first-party title" doesn't mean this.

"Impact of a delay in the launch timing of a first-party title" means one first party game previously planned to be released during the current fiscal year was delayed (we knew it, it's Marathon).

We should check the numbers, but may be the best Q1 SIE ever had.

Depressing that they made more money from game add-ons than games.
I imagine that means microtransaction shit.

Just their cut of the store sales, they've only released 2 games this gen on PS5 not available else where.

They couldn't give a fuck about first party output at this point they can operate without it, probably more profitable without it.

First party isn't about profits. It's about retaining your audience with quality and niche games that can't be anywhere else.

Second highest Q1 in PS5 shipments history.

My god, some people here. Also interesting that they've raised profit outlook depsite Marathon delay, forecast is even more strong than Q1 results.

This gen pattern might differ greatly from past gens
We still in crossgen transition period which I expect to end somewhere next year
There are still around 40-50 mil active PS4 to transition to PS5 (unthinkable amount in previous gens this late into generation) waiting for crossgen period to die. The moment GTA, FIFA, CoD and major live service games drop support for PS4 will be resurgence of PS5 sales momentum

It's so for years already
More than half of revenue/playerbase are live service and 99% of it go to add-ons category (coz most of them f2p)
