Sony has raised its sales forecast for its gaming business, while announcing an official sales figure for Marvel\u2019s Wolverine for the first time.<\/p>\n
Sony said it had raised the sales forecast for its Game & Network Services Segment, which includes PlayStation, by 6% due to an \u201cincrease in sales of non-first-party game software titles.\u201d Similarly, Sony raised the profit forecast for its gaming business by 6%, also citing the impact of an increase in sales of non-first-party games, but adding in an improvement in costs, and the impact of sales from network services (PlayStation Plus, etc).<\/p>\n
Now, we all know what Sony is talking about here, or at least what it is mostly<\/em> talking about: Grand Theft Auto 6. Sony\u2019s partnership with Rockstar Games for GTA 6 has seen the PS5 at the forefront of the game\u2019s marketing, so much so that the casual observer might not even know the game is also coming to Xbox Series X and S. Gameplay shown so far is from PS5 only, and marketing material says GTA 6 \u201cplays best on PS5.\u201d<\/p>\n In Pictures: How GTA 6’s Jason and Lucia Have Evolved Since 2023<\/p>\n Dragging profits down during the forecast for the current financial year,<\/p>\n
