Today, Sony announced financial results for the full 2022 financial year, which ended on March 31, including data on the supply of PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

Over the last financial year (from April 2021 to March 2022), 11.5 million PS5 units were shipped, which is much less compared to the initial forecasts made in April 2021.
Sales for the full 2021 financial year have increased by 3% (83.5 billion yen) compared to last year due to the growth of hardware sales, partially compensated by a decrease in software sales, mainly among the games of third -party developers.

It is expected that operating profit will decrease by 41.1 billion. IEN due to an increase in the costs of development in existing studios and accounting for the costs of recent acquisitions, including Bungie, which will be partially compensated for by the predicted improvement of both the first and third-party games.
Additional documentation on the results of the game business shows that the total number of PlayStation Plus subscribers on March 31 was 47.4 million. On the other hand, the PlayStation Network totaled 106 million monthly active users.
