PlayStation had its best ever financial year, Sony has reported.
PlayStation 5 sales hit 7.8m as of the end of March 2021.
That’s ahead of where the PS4 was (7.6m sales) in the same timeframe, but it’s worth noting the PS5 is severely supply constrained, and remains out of stock at most retailers.
Sony’s Game & Network Services (G&NS), which includes PlayStation, saw sales of 2656bn yen (£17.5bn), and an incredible 342.2bn yen (£2.26bn) in profit.
Both figures are up significantly on the previous financial year’s performance. Sony said the 34 percent sales increase was primarily down to an increase in software sales, including add-on content, and an increase in hardware sales due to the November launch of the PS5. During the financial year, Sony released PlayStation 4 big-hitters The Last of Us 2 and Ghost of Tsushima.
