🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformPS5 Sales Drop Almost 50%, As Sony Discusses AI Ambitions, Including New Hair Tech
As part of Sony's latest earnings briefing, the company revealed that PlayStation 5 sales are down massively year-over-year, while management discussed what it believes will be a rosy future for the company thanks to AI-driven efficiencies. In terms of PS5 sales, Sony reported that it had sold 46% fewer PS5 units during its fiscal Q4 than it did during the same quarter last year. More specifically, Sony sold 1.5 million PS5 units worldwide during the quarter(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-just-reported-a-new-record-breaking-high-figure-but-its-unsurprising/1100-6539856/), down from 2.8 million during the same period the year prior. The PS5 has now sold 93.7 million units worldwide. Downward trends are expected for the PS5, as the system is now in its sixth year on the market. The PS5 is also more expensive than ever before, as Sony has raised the price of the console by $200 for its cheapest version since the system launched in 2020. During the earnings briefing, Sony blamed the latest downturn on "continued pressures in the global economic landscape."

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformPS6 Release Date And Price Are Still Up In The Air, Sony Says
In its latest financial results, Sony revealed that it has yet to determine pricing or a launch date for the PlayStation 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-6-everything-we-know-about-sonys-next-generation-console/1100-6533561/). While the console hasn't been officially unveiled yet, Sony did mention that it is increasing investment in its "next-generation platform" while also working out how to deal with the global component shortage crisis driven by various global factors currently. Responding to questions, Sony president and CEO Hiroki Totoki explained that the rising costs for vital components(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nvidia-reportedly-combatting-gpu-shortages-by-bringing-back-discontinued-graphics-card/1100-6537185/) like RAM would have an impact on its PS6 plans. "We have not yet decided on at what timing we will launch the new console, or at what prices," Totoki said(https://www.irwebmeeting.com/sony/live/20260508/FLxqkweF/2026034q02en/index.html) during the call. "We would like to really observe and follow the situation. Looking at the current circumstances, the memory price is also expected to be very high in the Financial Year 2027, because there will still be a shortage of supply. So under that assumption, we must think carefully about what we will do."

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformSony’s PS5 sales plummet amid price rises and a memory crisis
Sony sold just 1.5 million PS5 consoles in its most recent fourth fiscal quarter, down 46 percent year over year. The slump in PS5 sales comes after Sony raised the price of its PS5 consoles twice over the past year, pushing the price of the regular PS5 from $499.99 all the way up to $649.99. &8230;
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformSony Just Reported A New Record-Breaking High Figure, But It's Unsurprising
Sony has released its financial results(https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/pdf/25q4sonypre.pdf) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, including the fact that the majority of PlayStation game sales are digital. Of course, this comes as no surprise since digital sales overtook physical between 2018 and 2019, in the PS4's midcycle. When the PlayStation 5 launched with an option to have no disc drive at all, it was evident that the digital era had become king. Now, Sony has reported that a record-breaking 85% of PlayStation game sales were digital in Q4 of its last full fiscal year. That's a 2% increase from 2024, where Q1 and Q4 reported 80% of sales were digital. Its sales in gaming overall remained "essentially flat," contributed to positively by the impact of foreign exchange rates, an increase in sales from network services, and an increase in sales of non-first-party titles.

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformSony Removes Deals Tab From PlayStation Store
Players who constantly check PlayStation Store for the best prices may be surprised to hear that Sony has apparently removed the deals tab that has been associated with its online marketplace. A sale was previously scheduled to begin today, but there's currently no sign that it will. Push Square(https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/05/ps-stores-deals-section-missing-as-ps5-breaks-its-streak-of-constant-sales) was among the first outlets to notice that PlayStation Store's deals tab was missing, and we confirmed that going to the deals page on a web browser results in an error message. Pinning down a reason why has been more difficult in the absence of any official word from Sony. GameSpot has reached out to Sony for comment. Early speculation from the outlet suggested that the move may be tied to Sony's currently in-progress update for PlayStation's UI, which is in beta. Insider Gaming(https://insider-gaming.com/playstation-stores-deals-tab-has-disappeared/) has also reported that the settlement of a class-action lawsuit(https://insider-gaming.com/gamers-may-get-refunds-after-sony-playstation-digital-store-lawsuit/) against Sony could be another factor in the decision to take down the deals tab. If the settlement is accepted by the court, Sony will pay $7.8 million to players in the United States who purchased select games on PlayStation Store.
