and why do YOU care so much if people want Sony to buy Square or not?From what? MS is not going to get Square.
I did a couple graphs to compare PS5 hardware sales vs the other PS consoles by fiscal year, including the 18M forecast (Sony did stop reporting PS3 numbers on its 7th FY):
As you can see their consoles normally peak aroud the 4-5th year, as happened with PS5. In rival home consoles there's a simlar sales curve but shorter, in their case normally peaking before, somewhere between their 2nd and 5th year.
They lose a lot of money per unit sold because the price of components and shipments kept rising a lot since launch and there's a big inflation. To the point that even if still keep losing money per unit sold, had to rise the price.The fact that Sony managed for the PS5 to almost keep up with the PS4 sales while not only refusing to decrease its price but even increasing it, is quite the feat IMO.
Just two years after release, the PS4 was already going for just $350 on a bundle with The Last of Us.
The PS5's hardware price is so much more bullish in comparison, thanks to the semiconductor crisis of 2020-2021.

TSMC wafer price rise every single year since 2020.Yet this isn't true for the most expensive ICs, though. The cost for TSMC's N7 and N6 waffers went down and yields went way up compared to what was in 2020, and so did the cost per-GB of GDDR6. Sure, that may have been partially offset by the cost of logistics, but I doubt it happened to the point of having to permanently increase its price.
Also, Sony hasn't sold the PS5 at a loss since Q3 2021.

They didn’t lie…The prices of the components kept rising since 2021 and they have been losing money per each unit sold during the last fiscal year according to Sony.
So according to you Sony lied yesterday to their investors and has been lying to them in the recent earnings presentations during over a year?
If this is the case, then why don't investors sue them?
And well, Sony didn't mention it, but fuel price also highly increased so I assume their shipment costs for hardware+accesories+physical games also highly increased since launch.

This is what they said in this page, but in other pages, the presentation and Q&A of this and other presentations mentioned the components pricing rise and consoles being sold at a loss. Not only yesterday but in several quarterly or yearly report presentations.There's no need to sue because they never said the PS5 sells at a loss. They only mention losses on hardware due to promotions.
