Other Software" (1st party games in PC+rival consoles) made in Q4 FY23 almost the same money than in the entire FY22. Its FY23 revenue ($673,28M) is 55% up YoY
Important to remember that Helldivers launched February 8th. We're only seeing February and March here.

Also. Apparently Xbox only sold 0.8M last quarter. If it wasn’t obvious why they’re porting their games to other platforms. It should be now. Lol

The sales revenue for 24' is a tiny bit down because we are in the second phase and there won't be major hit releases like SM2.

But keep in mind that the actual earning forecast for 24' is up by 20 billion yen which is really good.

And that's with no major franchise releases.

Hmm, looking through the supplemental info I think PS5 is actually doing fine, as long as they can maintain the momentum. I hope this coming showcase is crazy. Now I want to know how they thought they were ever going to hit 25m in a FY, seems hyper unrealistic

GTA VI maybe

Remember it was leaked and expected to come out earlier

They gave it another year to simmer

Actually a really healthy forecast considering they aren't forecasting a significant dip here.

They called out final shape and concord. Which means they have confidence in both.
True, they're forecasting an increase in so that actually bodes kind of well when I step back for a minute. But they're also forecasting a 2% decrease in overall revenue primarily driven by a decrease in hardware sales. Are they saying next FY is going to be something like 18m units? *edit* yeah 18m.

Are they saying anything about a price drop? 18m without any price drop is actually kinda good.

I updated the OP with screenshots of the gaming related slides of the stream, including the details of the Helldivers 2 new record.

These numbers show how "doomed" Sony and PS are. Jim and Hermen aren't crying.

You're forgetting the ps5 pro.

They probably won't do a price drop unless they feel like they have to.

Think we're looking at 600 dollars for the ps5 pro.
i'm expecting $600 as well, but I think the base ps5 needs to go to $400 at some point. $400 ps5 with concurrent GTA6 promotion would really drive a ton of units, and I don't think there's any reason they can't get to a $400 price point.
