On June 9, Sony fell 3.16% overnight, trading at $21.45 per share, with trading volume of $406,900.

The decline comes amid ongoing concerns over weakening PlayStation first-party game performance. Data shows that PlayStation first-party game sales plunged from a peak of 58.4 million units in fiscal year 2020 to approximately 28.9 million units in fiscal year 2024 — a reduction of roughly 30 million units over the period. The sharp contraction has been attributed to a thin lineup of new releases and multiple titles, including Concord, that significantly underperformed sales expectations.

Sony's aggressive studio acquisition strategy and heavy investment in live-service games have drawn scrutiny, with the 2022 acquisition of Bungie cited as a particularly controversial case. Although fiscal year 2025 showed a modest recovery to 32.1 million units, the figure remains well below the platform's historical highs, raising questions about the return on Sony's gaming investment strategy.
