Sony's movies, music, and games units all grew profits in the second quarter, despite a 29% drop in operating profit due to weakness in the chip business. The company reported a Q2 revenue of approximately $18.5 billion, marking an 8% increase year-on-year. Sony raised its full-year outlook for sales and profit as electronics and media spending stabilize and a weaker yen bolsters its global numbers. PlayStation 5 consoles reached 46.5 million shipped, contributing to the record revenue for Sony's gaming division. PS5 sales for the quarter were 4.9 million, a significant increase from 3.3 million in Q2 2022. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 sold over 5 million copies in its first ten days of sales. In related news, Honda posted a 31% increase in operating profit for the September quarter.
