Sony's game and network services division reported operating profits of ¥220 billion ($1.3 billion) for the quarter ending September 30, 2026, an 83% increase from the previous year. PS5 sales fell to 2.6 million units compared to four million a year earlier, attributed in part to rising memory chip costs affecting the industry.
Sony's CFO confirmed PlayStation 6 development is progressing as scheduled, with the company securing memory hardware for future production. However, PS5 sales remain impacted by declining unit shipments and rising component costs, despite price adjustments and cost reductions.
