95.3 million PS5s sold, revenue basically flat, and Sony's already gearing up to drop discs in 2028 😬 Sony's fiscal Q1 report: gaming pulled in ¥937.1 billion, PlayStation operating profit jumped 37% (thanks, US tariffs and FX). Subscriptions grew 20.9%, but console revenue dipped 9.79%, 1.6 million PS5s sold in the quarter, totaling 95.3 million. Digital share of game sales hit 82%.

Sony's PlayStation 5 may not be able to beat the PS4's first year sales record due to an ongoing component shortage, according to Bloomberg. The company has reportedly cut its previous production forecast of 16 million down to 15 million, putting its target of 14.8 million PS5 sales by March in jeopardy, if the report is accurate. It also makes a bad situation worse in terms of consumers being able to pick up a PS5 over the holidays.

The wireless carrier is getting into the PlayStation 5 game, though supply will be "very limited" and you will need to be a wireless customer to buy online.
