from last year (forecast for FY 2017):
forecast for FY2018 - 16 million units
Forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019
Sales are expected to be essentially flat year-on-year mainly due to an expected decrease in PS4 hardware sales and the impact of foreign exchange rates, substantially offset by an expected increase in PS4 software sales, including sales through the network. Operating income is expected to increase primarily due to the impact of the above-mentioned increase in PS4 software sales, partially offset by the impact of the above-mentioned decrease in PS4 hardware sales.
---------
Number of PlayStation®Plus subscribers – 34.2 Million
Additional info:
Sales increased 294.0 billion yen (18%) year-on-year (a 13% increase on a constant currency basis) to 1,943.8 billion yen. This increase was primarily due to an increase in PlayStation®4 ("PS4") software sales, including sales through the network, the impact of foreign exchange rates, as well as an increase in the number of subscribers for PlayStation®Plus, a paid membership service. Operating income increased 41.9 billion yen year-on-year to 177.5 billion yen. This increase was primarily due to the above-mentioned increase in sales, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. During the current fiscal year, there was a 19.8 billion yen positive impact from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
