Sony is selling the PS5 at a loss, investors told

Sony shipped more than 4.5 million PlayStation 5s from the console’s Nov. 12 launch to the end of the year, but it took a loss on those sales because the PS5’s “strategic price point” is lower than what it cost to manufacture it.

The disclosure was part of Sony’s quarterly report to investors, delivered in Japan earlier today. The losses on PS5 sales were not specifically broken out — and they were part of an overall Game & Network Services Segment that saw a 26.7 billion yen ($2.5 billion) increase in operating income over the same quarter in 2019.
