According to Nishino’s presentation, Sony's Game & Network Services (G&NS) division, which includes Sony Interactive Entertainment, has generated $136 billion in sales during the PS5 generation so far (2020 onwards). This suppasses sales made during the reign of all previous Sony consoles, making the PS5 the “most successful generation to date.”
In comparison, G&NS made $107 billion from 2013-2019, aka the PS4 generation. The graph revealed that, over the past 31 years since the original PS1’s launch, each subsequent console generation has brought in more money than the last. For reference, sales during the PS3 lifecycle were $71 billion, the PS2 $44 billion, and the PS1 $24 billion.
It should be emphasized that these revenue figures encompass sales across the entire G&NS business during the time periods in question. So, that huge $136 billion in sales during the PS5 generation will include money Sony continues to make from PS4 hardware and software.
