They didn't announce them for the April-June quarter either. They stopped announcing them this fiscal year. Network Services revenue is up by over 14% compared to last year. Network services is just PS+ and Advertising. So in terms of revenue they are doing better than last year but in terms of actual sub numbers they may be lower. Difficult to say as the price increase didn't occur until September 3rd and only 12-month subs increased in price. So we can't say "revenue is higher so subs must be higher!" and we also can't say "well sub prices increased by x% and revenue only increased by 14% so subs must be lower!" because we don't know how many people are on the 12-month sub compared to 1/3 or how many were up for renewal in the month of September. Basically we know it's bringing in more money than last year but we can't say with complete confidence that they have more or less users than last year. |
The price increase will surely hit them in the short term. They just keeping rising it, around here is now almost the double it was 2 years ago (was BRL 150 until mid 2021 and is BRL 280 now), and even as I still have some time stacked, I'm considering stopping renewing it for the first time since I've got it. |
Yeah I think it's worse in other regions than here in the UK. Compared to gamepass for example it's not that bad here and definitely hasn't nearly doubled.
£50/year for Gamepass Core, £60/year for PS+ Essential.
£132/year for Gamepass Ultimate, £100/year for PS+ Extra and £120/year for PS+ Premium.
I'm sure the numbers of subscribers will decrease though potentially not by enough to stop their sub revenue continuing to increase.
