Sony says PlayStation 6 development is progressing as planned, PS5 cumulative sales reach 97.9 million units

Abstract:

索尼确认下一代PlayStation平台的开发正按计划推进，并将在2027年4月开始的下一财年继续推动相关工作。与此同时，PS5累计销量已经达到9790万台。

索尼首席财务官陶琳表示，PS5已处于主机生命周期当前阶段，新机销量正如预期逐渐下降，但PlayStation平台仍在稳定扩张。公司计划通过游戏阵容和服务业务提高用户参与度及变现能力，并为下一代平台继续做准备。

In the three months ended September 30, Sony sold a total of 2.6 million PS5 units. During the same period, game business sales increased by 9% year-on-year, operating profit increased by 89% year-on-year, and monthly active users reached 127 million in September. Sony also raised its game business sales and operating profit forecasts, citing reasons including first-party and third-party game sales growth and cost improvements.

Facing rising price pressure on memory and other components, Sony has coordinated with suppliers on the amount of memory required for expected sales in the next fiscal year, and plans to respond through promotions, pricing adjustments and further cost reductions.

Sony has not yet announced or decided on the release date of PlayStation 6. The 2028 window mentioned by the outside world is only the expectation of some analysts and is not an official arrangement.
