It took 3 years for PlayStation to earn $300 million in PC sales according to former manager, which makes the platform less than half as lucrative as the PS4 and PS5

PlayStation's PS PC unit earned only a total of $300 million between 2021 and 2023, former PC planner and insights manager Jerry Liu reveals. Liu added the detail to his LinkedIn profile, spotted by industry sleuth Timur222 on Bluesky. Liu's profile now explains he helped PS PC "grow from $0-300M in Net Revenue for Sony in 3 years" by, among other things, convincing "leadership to pursue more aggressive pricing strategy that helped to increase gross revenue of the business unit by 25%+." But while PlayStation continues to use – let's say it politely – asseritve pricing with console sales, it's reportedly retreating from PC altogether.
