Sony has released its financial report for the first quarter of the year from April to June 30, revealing games revenue has risen 95.7 percent year-on-year.
The results reveal ¥257.5bn ($2.5bn) generated in sales from Sony's Games & Network Services division, which the company attributes to the successful launch of the PS4. As a result, last year's first quarter loss of ¥16.4bn ($164m) has been replaced by an operating profit of ¥4.3bn ($43m), even though sales of PS3 consoles and games have fallen.
Microsoft's financial report for the same period was announced last week, revealing combined shipping figures for Xbox One and Xbox 360 sit at 1.1 million, meaning for the first three months of this financial year the PlayStation brand outsold Xbox 3:1.
