"Sony" plans to include its financial arm after the decline in "PlayStation 5" sales

“Sony Group Corp” said it would include its financial arm in October 2025, in preparation for the pump of a large capital after it reduced the stumbling of its integration with the Indian information company’s expectations about the performance of its main game division. The company unveiled partial sales plans after announcing the profits and reviewing its expectations for the financial year to March. The offer of the Sony Financial Group shares for public subscription will lead to the restoration of $ 3.7 billion, which was the value of a special agreement concluded in 2020. Sony reduced his revenue expectations after sales of its pioneering device, “PlayStation 5”, came less than one million units than ended in the quarter to record 8.2 million units. The company said it expected to sell approximately 21 million units during the current financial year, a decline of previous expectations of 25 million units. “Given the future, the PlayStation 5 enters the last phase of his life cycle,” said Naomi Matsuka, senior vice president. If you contribute to this, the company will focus more on the balance between profitability and sales, as “we expect annual sales of the” Playstation 5 “annual sales from the next financial year.” 82 billion dollars to “Sony” sales The Japanese company expects 12.3 trillion yen ($ 81.7 billion) this year, a decrease of 12.4 trillion yen in previous expectations. It announced revenue of 3.75 trillion yen and operational profits of approximately 463.3 billion yen in the quarter, which ended in December, which corresponds to the estimates of average analysts. “The results showed that” Sony “spent a lot on promotional offers to sell the Playstation 5, compared to the weakening of the profitability of the unit, although the number of units it sent during the term was much weaker than expected.” Sales of the devices came disappointingly despite the strong four -fold software. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was released exclusively on the PlayStation 5 in October, and the company sold 2.5 million copies in the first 24 hours, which best sold under the programs produced in Sony Studios in the first appearance. Its sales, together with the standard number of Sony users on the “PlayStation” network last December, raised expectations that the PlayStation 5 will gain a momentum after years, which has a limited size of its offer. Analysts remain careful about Sony’s target to sell more than 25 million “PlayStation 5” units in this financial year. The company released an updated version of the device in October, making it smaller and more efficient in energy consumption. The company’s game division still reaches revenue to maintain the momentum of the device, which amounts to $ 499. Since late 2020, the PlayStation 5 has had trouble reaching the public, as the problems of production and shipping partnerships related to the epidemic have limited the offer for years. New competitors expect the two companies, “Nitzeno” and “Microsoft”, to issue new devices during the holiday times, which will increase the competition level with Sony. Sony may need to restructure its strategy in India, after the planned integration between its unit in India and the local media company, “Zee Entertainment Ltd”, may need a dead end due to a dispute over management. The “Z” agreement was the more expansion axis of the Japanese company in a market with a population of 1.4 billion people, and investors will monitor indicators on the latest “Sony” ideas in this regard.
