Japanese technology giantSonyhas released its latest earnings report.

Thats a fall in sales of roughly 27%.

A general view of the PlayStation game booth is being shown during the Chinajoy games fair in Shanghai, China, on July 26, 2024.

Console sales may be down, but Sonys gaming division is still performing well.

While software sales have increased on the whole, sales of physical games have continued their downward trajectory.

They generated just 20,629 million yen this quarter compared to 24,402 million this time last year.

Analysis: Heading towards a digital future?

Although short of projections, a fall in console sales like this isnt necessarily an unusual thing.

It’s understandable that consumer interest in the console would begin to plateau.

The increase in the ratio of digital game sales is a much more worrying trend.
