But console sales dropping across the board.
Sony shipped five times more PlayStation 5 consoles than Microsoft managed with Xbox Series X/S in the last quarter.
This is roughly equivalent to PS4 at the same point in its lifecycle.
That’s matched by Sony’s seeming inability to sell more consoles than the previous generation.
The PlayStation 5 shipped 4.5 million units in the last quarter.
It’s why Sony is pushing PC sales, withHelldivers 2 now the fastest-selling PlayStation game of all time.
The company hasn’t, however, disclosed the latest PlayStation Plus subscription numbers.
It’s also why Sony is using the metric of play time on PlayStation as an indicator of success.
Also announced yesterday were thereplacements for former PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan.
PlayStation Studios boss Hermen Hulst will be in charge of game development, while Hideaki Nishino will oversee hardware.
Still, earlier this yearSony laid off 900 staff, including the closure of its London Studio.
