Sales increased 38.5% year-on-year (a 16% increase on a constant currency basis) to 979.2 billion yen (9,507
million U.S. dollars). This significant increase was primarily due to the launch of the PS4 as well as the favorable
impact of foreign exchange rates. PlayStation®3 (“PS3”) hardware unit sales decreased, although PS3 software
sales increased.

Operating loss of 8.1 billion yen (78 million U.S. dollars) was recorded, compared to operating income of 1.7
billion yen in the previous fiscal year. This year-on-year deterioration was primarily due to an increase in costs
related to the launch of the PS4 as well as the recording of a 6.2 billion yen (60 million U.S. dollars) write-off of
certain PC game software titles sold by Sony Online Entertainment LLC, partially offset by the above-mentioned
increase in sales.
