Dear readers, thank you for your support over the past year, and I wish you all the best and happiness in the New Year! Like, follow, you don't get lost in the digital realm! Can't believe it, the PS5 has been around for four years! While there was a shortage of stock at the beginning of the launch, things have improved and Sony has also launched a lighter PS5 Slim.
Recently, Sony lowered the overall sales of the PS5** in its earnings report, saying that the product has entered an advanced stage, sales are not as good as expected, and they don't plan to go all in on sales.
In its third-quarter earnings report, Sony lowered its overall PS5 sales** to 21 million units, up from 25 million units. While PS5 sales in the third quarter were nearly 2 million units higher than the same period last year, they were still below previous expectations. And these figures already include the sales of the new version of PS after its launch, and obviously the results are a bit unsatisfactory.
In this regard, Sony also said that the PS5 has entered its fourth year and is in the late stages of the product cycle, so they will focus on balancing profits and sales. It is expected that from the next fiscal year, the sales rate of PS5 consoles and other hardware products will decline.
It's worth noting that Xbox plans to launch a new version this year, while Nintendo may launch a Switch 2 next year, which could have a certain impact on PS5. Well, it seems that the competition in the gaming industry is getting fiercer, and PS5 needs to work harder!
