Sony sales exceed ¥10 tril for 1st time on robust game sales

Sales in its game and network services division rose 33 percent to 3.64 trillion yen, with the company citing the positive effect of the weaker yen for the result.

It is difficult to imagine how much more success could have been possible if Sony did more to control the scarcity of the PS5 during long months where scalpers systematically bought it from every outlet to resell it at huge profits, many people choose not to buy it and switched to other videogame systems (specially personal computers) which I imagine hurt profits significantly.

Good on Sony. About time they are seeing some substantial results.

if Sony did more to control the scarcity of the PS5

Not much Sony can do. PS4 and PS5 are designed in US, and made in China.

Not a word about Sony's CMOS Sensor performance?

"Samsung has remained the second-largest CMOS image sensor provider on the market after Sony, but the gap between the two companies appears to widen at Samsung’s expense. In terms of market share in the third quarter of 2022, Sony and Samsung were followed by Omnivision, Onsemi, and GalaxyCore.

According to a market report by research firm Omdia (via The Elec), Sony was the leading CMOS image sensor supplier in Q3, with a market share of 51.6%."
