Sony commented on players' concerns about a possible price increase for PS5 and PS5 Pro due to rising component costs and stated that it has prepared the necessary stock to meet sales plans.
The market situation remains challenging: high demand from the AI sector affects the availability of memory and storage, increasing the cost of electronics production. Sony claims that no problems with console supplies are expected in the coming months.
Regarding the impact of the memory market situation on PS5 devices, we have secured the necessary amount of memory to achieve the projected sales volume in fiscal year 2026. We also do not change the plan according to which hardware profitability in fiscal year 2026 will remain approximately at the level of 2025.
Sony did not confirm that the prices for PS5 and PS5 Pro will definitely remain the same. This is only about the availability of components and maintaining profit plans.
