Sony Forecasts Decline

Sony Group posted FY2025 sales of $82.8 billion and operating income of $9.6 billion.
The Game & Network Services segment posted ¥4.6857 trillion revenue and ¥463.3 billion operating profit while Sony recorded a ¥120.1 billion impairment loss on Bungie assets after Destiny 2 and Marathon fell short.
After PS5 shipments fell 46% to 1.5 million units in Q4 FY2025, Sony expects FY2026 G&NS revenue to drop 6% to ¥4.4 trillion and operating income to rise 30% to ¥600 billion.

Summary

Sony Backs Marathon

Sony will keep supporting Marathon with new content for its core audience, CFO Lin Tao said.
Reddit users cite an impairment loss as a sign of Sony’s waning confidence in Bungie’s profitability.
Steam shows Marathon’s active players at roughly 13,000, far below Destiny 2’s occasional 300,000-plus peaks, prompting analysts to suggest easier difficulty, PvP or free-to-play options, while community speculation warns of possible layoffs if sales do not improve.
