Although State of Play grabbed a lot of attention last week, even with major reveals at Tokyo Game Show, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s presentation at the latter offered some noteworthy new information. Specifically, CEO Hideaki Nishino announced that the PS5 has been the company’s “most successful generation to date,” bringing in $136 billion for the Game and Network Services division.
In contrast, the PlayStation 4 generation, which ran for seven years (2013-2019), generated $107 billion in revenue. It’s important to remember that these figures take into account the fluctuating exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen, and they include sales for all consoles. This is particularly relevant because the PS4 continued to get new games, including several cross-generational first-party titles, even after the PS5 launched.
Despite these challenges, the graph shows the division is still growing overall, and the console is reaching significant sales numbers (80.5 million units as of June 30th). However, tariffs have led to price increases, with the standard PS5 and PS5 Pro now costing $50 more. There are also reports that the PS5 Slim has been updated with smaller 825 GB SSDs, reduced from 1 TB, to help keep prices from rising even further.
