Despite this, Sony remains committed to delivering high-quality works and expanding their live-service games. ## Content Sony's PlayStation 5 (PS5) hardware sales hit a quarterly high of 8.2 million units in Q3, marking a significant milestone for the company. However, despite the impressive numbers, Sony fell short of its sales expectations. The company had aimed to sell 25 million PS5 units for the fiscal year but now expects to reach only 21 million units. The sales growth in Sony's Game & Network Services segment was primarily driven by third-party titles, while sales of first-party software experienced a decline. As a result, operating income in the division decreased by 26%. Despite these challenges, Sony remains committed to delivering high-quality works and expanding its live-service games. In fact, the next PlayStation 5 exclusive, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, is scheduled for release in 2025. However, gamers will have to wait until April 2025 to see any new major existing franchise titles, as Sony recently revealed their strategy to put more focus on quality rather than quantity. This decision, which comes as budgets for triple-A games have been a concern due to rising costs, was mentioned in Sony's financial report. Although the company expects a decline in hardware sales in 2024, the PlayStation brand generated an impressive $9.3 billion in revenue during the holiday quarter. Sony's dedication to delivering exceptional gaming experiences remains unwavering, as they prioritize the production of high-quality games and strive to meet the demands of their loyal fanbase. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#tech-news](https://daily.dev/tags/tech-news), [#gaming](https://daily.dev/tags/gaming), [#sony](https://daily.dev/tags/sony) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/sony-announces-no-new-major-existing-franchise-titles-until-2025-kpqzsiuzl) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Sony Announces No New Major Existing Franchise Titles Until 2025","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/sony-announces-no-new-major-existing-franchise-titles-until-2025-kpqzsiuzl","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/sony-announces-no-new-major-existing-franchise-titles-until-2025-kpqzsiuzl"},"datePublished":"2024-02-14T10:58:08.468Z","dateModified":"2024-02-14T17:47:19.242Z","description":"Sony's PS5 hardware sales reached a new high of 8.2 million units in Q3, but fell short of their sales expectations.
