Sony is enjoying a sharp profit spike in its latest quarterly financials, largely driven by its PlayStation business and the blockbuster success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day . According to the company’s September earnings , Sony’s net profits climbed to 449.60 billion yen (about $2.84 billion) for the three months ended September — a 44 percent increase compared to the 311.4 billion yen ($1.96 billion) it reported for the same period last year.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day was a notable contributor, which released in July and became the third-highest grossing movie in history by earning $2.52 billion at the global box office. That’s a huge boost for Sony Pictures Entertainment, which posted earnings of $581 million for the three months ended September — a 527 percent jump from the $93 million it reported for the same period in 2025.
Sales of Playstation 5 consoles have fallen, with 2.6 million units reported this second quarter compared to the 4 million that were sold in Q2 2025. While the Sony-exclusive Marvel’s Wolverine sold 2.4 million units against a reported budget of $300 million, PlayStation game sales generally have increased for both digital downloads and physical discs. That’s in spite of the week-long player blackout that took place in August to protest Sony’s plan to ditch discs entirely . Looking forward, PlayStation is now looking at its next generation console, which developers are making “solid progress” on according to Sony CFO Lin Tao , and is “progressing as scheduled.”
