While the PS5 Pro was released during this period, Sony didn’t provide individual figures for the more powerful console, with the above figures including both PS5 and PS5 Pro. Meanwhile, operating income increased 37% year-on-year, reaching $766 million.
The PS5 was released in November 2020 during the midst of the global coronavirus pandemic, and while it enjoyed a successful launch, stock shortages plagued the system for more than 18 months, resulting in scalpers taking advantage of the situation.
