Sony reports flat forecast amid PS5 sales slowdown and PS6 reviews

Sony released its fiscal year report earlier this month, revealing expectations of lower PS5 hardware sales due to ongoing memory shortages driven by AI demand. CEO Hiroki Totoki indicated that plans for the next-generation console remain undecided.

The report highlighted that hardware shortages could continue into 2027, prompting Sony to base its PS5 sales targets on available memory at reasonable prices. Analyst Rhys Elliot noted that the company may choose to underproduce consoles rather than absorb higher costs, with potential price increases possible if pressures persist.
