Okay really quick, because I just noticed:

Even though PS5 shipments are now lagging PS4, it still drove Sony's gaming revenue to over ~ $5.62 billion in the quarter ending June 2021.

I believe that's a record, last fiscal Q1 was ~ $5.54B.

Sony’s $499 PS5 is no longer selling at a loss. Just like the PS4, it has taken less than a year for the PS5 to stop being sold at a loss. Sony isn't repeating the costly exercise of the PS3 again. Details here: https://t.co/z8NcoNPq7A pic.twitter.com/jEB8d4vKCO

Sony 2021: Releasing MLB: The Show on Xbox (free on GamePass!) contributed significantly to sales and profit.

overall, Sony Group Corp.'s result was good as some segments such as movies, music and electronics benefiting from stay-home unwinding. Digital cameras did well...people thirsty for beautiful real world outside living room, maybe? https://t.co/kykH2oHzsQ

Compared to Apple, Microsoft, Google & Facebook, on wealth alone, Sony is very much the comparative underdog.

It's great that Sony are performing so well, with less. Creativity, innovation, risk & reward and all without the financial safety net Xbox has from parent Microsoft. https://t.co/UxyWpKwgok pic.twitter.com/tefZvroIcW

Sony FY2021 Q1:

PlayStation 5 global shipments reached 10.1M as of June, after moving 2.3M in the quarter.

Compared to 10.4M for PS4 during its first 3 quarters.

Company recently said PS5 passed 10M sold-thru to customers as of July 18th, so it's essentially selling out. pic.twitter.com/PZeBtlCEHU

Sony says it’s not worried about a recent dip in PS Plus and active users. MAU are down by 10m year-on-year, which Sony blames on 2020’s lockdown gaming boost.https://t.co/WIbvKxkk4E

Both were still up YoY over non-COVID period. It was because of COVID that last Q1 had that much big subs.
