Sony's In-House Games See Sales Slump After PS5 Boom
TL;DR Summary
New data compiled from Sony’s own figures shows first-party PlayStation exclusives have declined since the FY2020 peak of 58.4 million copies, bottoming at 28.9 million in FY24 and rebounding to 32.1 million in FY25 as the PS5 era matured. The drop coincides with longer development cycles and higher costs, the console-gen overlap, and Sony’s recent shift away from releasing some single-player exclusives on PC, potentially dampening overall platform sales.
