TL;DR

Sony's value reportedly dropped by $10 billion following a disappointing PlayStation 5 sales forecast, with shares falling as much as 8.4% and closing down 6.5%. The drop in share price has resulted in around $10 billion of value being wiped from Sony’s stock since the forecast cut. Sony's president aims to improve operating margins in the gaming division by releasing more PS5 games on PC, as the company faces criticism for its low operating margin of 6%, which is near decade lows despite high digital game sales and PS Plus service margins. Sony also expects PlayStation 5 hardware sales to gradually decline in the next fiscal year and plans to release no major existing franchise titles during that period.
