We also had true exclusives, which are now slowly disappearing, giving people less reasons to get a PS5.
Sony FY2023 Earnings Announcement: 4.5M PS5 sold in Q4 (20.8M in FY2023, 59.2M LTD). Allocating 11.5 billion in future acquisitions.

- Start date
Great results for Helldivers 2 what a success that turnt out to be. Hopefully Arrowhead has better plans for the game instead of trying to win over Twitter clout.
PS5 sales about what I expected after they revised down the target, figured it still wouldn't hit 21 million. It's a failure on Sony's party but still good numbers
Hopefully they start treating PlayStation with more respect going forward.

Kingdom Hearts IV exclusive to PS5 and the world is healing. If they just drop this bomb, I am good.
Reading resetera youd think PS5 and Square enix are dead. Alot of bitter nintendo and xbots grave dancing wayyyy too soon IMO.
Imo Square Enix will still make exclusive deals with Sony. What Square needs to stop, is green-lighting all these A-AA. Keep AAA, Team Asano and viable Remakes/Remasters if popular past games. There is a high chance KH IV being PS exclusive. Remember Disney and Sony have a good business relationship.
I really think at this point square needs to be a Sony first party company.
Anyways, has anything been said about investments going forward into gaming? I thought I saw 3 billion somewhere but that seems awfully low IMO.
We will hear later this month about it. But remember Sony today said PlayStation division will play an essential role for their long-term growth. Means Sony understands that PlayStation is their money maker No 1.
Dang, so they fell behind their FY target by almost 5 million units 
...
And people are still trying to say this PC strategy isn't eating into potential PS5 console sales? I'll give you the price increases do too, and at a bigger role, but it's not like the PC strategy has been making it easier for Sony to sell PS5s...
They missed their FY target in unit sales by almost 5 million.
Sure the price hike played a bigger part in that, but the PC ports sure aren't helping them sell PS5s. They previously said they wanted to be comfortably ahead of PS4 launch-aligned by this point. That clearly isn't happening.

Xbox falling has cooked any semblance of discussion. Sony is making more revenue than MS+Bethesda+ABK+ Nintendo COMBINED and apparently the business is falling apart.
It's actually very healthy right now.

Does that final pie chart slide mean that’s where they plan to make money or that’s where they’re investing into?

The tweet is wrong.
Increases in G&NS operative income are expected because they have been growing in all areas during several years, part of them being in very profitable stuff like GaaS and PC where this year they'll have stuff like Destiny 2 The Final Shape, Concord, Convallaria or Lost Soul Aside in that area, plus PC ports of HFW or GoT. And in addition to this, the catalog titles of GaaS (HD2, GT7, MLB) and PC released in previous year keeps providing steady revenue piled up on top of the one from new game releases. On top of that, selling less consoles will mean less loses from selling hardware.
Global SIE sales forecast for the current FY is expected to be flat / a bit lower than in the current one because of the decrease in console sales and also because of the lack of a >20M/game IP sequel being released this FY.

Financial and Electronics looks like no growth.
