Last fiscal year, demand for Playstation 4 and the game for her has declined somewhat, which is associated primarily with the age of the console, but overall Sony Interactive Entertainment remains extremely successful. This is stated in a report published today by the Japanese corporation.

Between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2023, Sony’s gaming division generated 1.97 trillion yen in revenue and 238.4 billion yen in operating profit. This is the second largest result in the entire history of the PlayStation brand..
Sales of PlayStation 4 decreased from 17.8 million in the 2018-2019 fiscal year to 13.6 million for the 2019-2020 reporting period. The total number of consoles sold since 2013 is 110.4 million as of March 31, 2023.
PlayStation 4 is Sony’s most profitable console. She also continues to outperform the legendary PlayStation 2, as shown in the graph below:
Last year, users bought 244.9 million copies of games (a year earlier – 257.6 million). But another thing is much more interesting: sales of digital versions of large projects (presented both on discs and in the PS Store) for the first time exceeded boxed ones – 51% came from the PS Store, 49% – retail.
Specifically, in the fourth quarter (January-March of the calendar year 2023), the “figure” generally very seriously outstripped retail – 66% against 34%. The coronavirus pandemic and quarantine activities around the world have contributed to this.
Finally, Sony said that the number of subscribers PS Plus reached the mark of 41.5 million. The annual growth amounted to 5.1 million users.
The PlayStation team did not share specific forecasts for PlayStation 4 sales for the fiscal year 2023-2021, but noted that it expected a further gradual decline in demand. Sony is now preparing to launch the PlayStation 5
