Price is too high. Sales will drop hard, under 115M



Did Sony give a forecast for this year?

No forecast given. This is the best we got.

"We plan to base our PS5 hardware sales in FY26 on the volume of memory we can procure at reasonable prices and we expect hardware profitability to be essentially the same as FY25."

If Sony's not even able to forecast their upcoming fiscal year, then I think I'll confidently say that I'm out of this discussion for a little bit lol. Way too many unknowns to say whether PS5 has another 20M or 50M left in the tank.

Hardware sales may come to a crawl. Sony's aim for the next 5 years or so will be trying to retain its existing playerbase by keeping them active on the hardware they already own. They're projecting a decline in revenue and a big increase in operating profits. High profits make sense now that the worst days of failed acquisitions and live service projects are behind them.

I wonder how long before they go full Microsoft and stop reporting hardware sales lol. Just don't be surprised if the pricing situation gets a lot worse than it is now. Really hard to make meaningful predictions without knowing future prices.
