"Regarding first-party software, we aim to continue to focus on producing high-quality works and developing live-service games," Totoki said. "But while major projects are currently under development, we do not plan to release any new major existing franchise titles next fiscal year like God of War Ragnarok and Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Although the burden of acquisition-related costs will ease next fiscal year, we expect profit from first-party software to decrease slightly from this fiscal year due to the impact of the decrease in sales."
The other big news coming out of the briefing was Sony confirming that it had failed to meet its ambitious sales target of selling 25 million PS5s during the current financial year, leading it to revise this projection to 21 million sales. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has also sold over 10 million copies to date and the company mentioned that the PS5 is now in the "latter stage" of its lifecycle.
