PlayStation 5 hardware sales down amid price hikes and memory shortage

Sony's PlayStation 5 hardware sales saw a significant year-on-year decline in Q4 FY25, selling 1.5 million units compared to 2.8 million in the previous year. This downturn is attributed to recent price increases across multiple regions and an ongoing component shortage impacting memory procurement. Despite lower hardware sales, Sony reported that the PlayStation platform maintained a large installed base and stable profits from software and network services.
