Sony recently released its earnings report for the previous quarter, showing that it sold more PS5s than all of last year and that the system surpassed 84.2 million lifetime sales.
To add some context, Sony said in May that it expects its revenue to decline by ¥100 billion (or C$900 billion) in 2025 due to tariffs imposed by the United States. Another big hit was the follow-up Rockstar delay Grand Auto Theft VI, which was postponed to May 2026 and was most recently rescheduled to November of that year.
Sony now expects to sell more than forecast for this year and generate approximately 4.47 trillion yen (approximately C$40.67 billion) from games for the full year ending March 31, 2026. The figure would be 150 billion yen ($1.7 billion Canadian) higher than its previous forecast.
Interesting, We've covered the 80 millionth console sale We mentioned back in August that PS4 sales had reached 86.1 million by the time it hit the five-year mark. While it looks like it will miss its goal by about 2 million, it's still impressive that Sony has consoles that have sold nearly 86 million units by the time the systems are five years old.
On the software side, one of the highlights was the long-awaited Ghost of Yotei, as of November 2, it had sold 3.3 million units. It was also revealed that Sony sold 6.3 million of its own games on PS5 and PS4, for a total of 80.3 million.
Another quick note: Sony's PlayStation Network has 119 million monthly active users, up 3 million from last year.
