PSA Consumer Electronics / Entertainment: Video Game Industry Update
With global console game sales rising, analyst Pelham Smithers discusses whether we are in a new video game industry upswing. Moreover, sales of the PS5 are starting to generate clear water between those of the Xbox X/S in the Americas region – Microsoft’s backyard – so, if the gap becomes even more significant, there will certainly be implications for the X/S.

PSA Media & Entertainment: Square Enix (9684 JT) – Dropping the Pilot
Yosuke Matsuda, who as President took Square Enix from losses in FY12 to record profits in FY21, is to leave the firm. He will be replaced by the little-known Takashi Kiryu. Matsuda’s departure leaves Square Enix at something of a crossroads, and it will be as interesting to see which road Kiryu takes, as it will be to see how well he does.
