PS5 Has Eclipsed The Combined Lifetime Profits Of PS1, PS2, PS3 & PS4
Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed during its Business Segment Meeting last week that the PS5 hardware generation has so far generated $13 billion in profit. While this figure is impressive enough on its own, it actually surpasses the $10 billion that the PS1 — PS4 era generated in total.
To break things down more, the PS1 pulled in $3 billion, the PS2 generated $2 billion, and the PS4 made $9 billion. Unfortunately for Sony, the PS3 posted a loss of $4 billion during its lifecycle, although this probably isn’t surprising as it was already revealed by former Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida that PS3 endured huge losses that were only covered by Sony’s TV division.
