Sony has raised its full-year forecast for its games segment after higher net sales and operating income in the second quarter.
The platform holder attributed the results to higher sales from network services and first-party software, including Marvel’s Wolverine, which surpassed 2.4 million units.
Hardware revenue declined due to lower PlayStation 5 unit sales. However, the console sold 2.6 million additional units in the second quarter, bringing lifetime sales to 93.7 million.
