Sony sells fewer PS5s and invests more in successor
Published
Sony is selling fewer PS5 consoles than the company had hoped. That is what the Belgian newspaper HLN reports. The company is the maker of the PlayStation 5, one of the best-known gaming consoles in the world.
According to the report, Sony wants to invest more money next year in the successor to the PS5. A new console takes a lot of time and money to develop. Companies usually do this after a number of years, when the current console has already been on the market.
The lower sales could be a challenge for Sony. Consoles are important for many game companies, because players then also buy games and online services. How much sales have actually dropped, and how much money Sony intends to spend on the successor, is not clearly stated in the report.
For Belgian gamers, this does not yet mean any direct change. The PS5 remains available in stores and online. Whether the new console will later become a major success is not yet known.
