Sony Secures PS5 Memory Through FY2026 as 82% of Game Sales Turn Digital

Summary
Sony’s Q1 FY2026 report said it has secured enough memory to meet projected PS5 sales volume through March 31, 2027, signaling no immediate need to raise console prices.
A footnote on hardware profitability said FY2026 margins should remain similar to FY2025, implying stable PS5 pricing for now even as RAM costs climb.
The report stopped short of a public price pledge, leaving room for later increases once the stockpiled memory is exhausted and the broader memory crunch persists.
Sony also said 82% of PlayStation software sales were digital last quarter, underscoring its shift away from physical media as rivals prepare console price increases.
