Sony Are Confident They Can Hit PS5's 22 Million Sales Target
Furthermore, Bloomberg's reported that the PS5's standard edition - priced at £450/$499 USD - is now turning a profit. While consoles are traditionally sold at a loss initially, seeing the PS5 begin turning a profit only 9 months into its lifespan is encouraging news for Sony, if true.
That's not all this meeting revealed, either. Sony also confirmed a 1.3 million drop in PS Plus subscribers from Q4 2020, alongside news that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and MLB: The Show 21 had driven their latest quarterly earnings.
