Sony became AMD's largest customer last year, accounting for 16% of the company's revenue as its PlayStation 5 increased its lead over competitors. Sravan Kundojjala, a semiconductor industry analyst, noted that if Xilinx results are excluded, Sony accounts for 20% of AMD's revenue, probably making it the company's largest customer in recent history.
Indeed, the gaming business unit was AMD's largest revenue generator, which indicates that sales of system-on-chips for Microsoft's Xbox Series X|S consoles were also strong. AMD sold Sony some $3.776 billion worth of chips for PlayStation 5 game consoles in 2022, which accounted for 16% of the company's revenue for the year, according to the company's filing with the SEC.
Sony confirmed (opens in new tab) at CES that it had sold over 30 million PlayStation 5 game consoles. VGChartz (opens in new tab) estimates that by now, life-to-date sales of PS5 exceeded 31.77 million units. Microsoft’s Xbox Series X|S consoles are by far not as successful as Sony’s systems, with LTD shipments of around 20.68 million units, according to VGChartz.
