THERE IS NOTHING quite like a captive audience. When Sony, a Japanese electronics giant, reported its latest set of quarterly results on October 28th, the star performer was the firm’s video-gaming division, which makes the PlayStation line of consoles. Had it been a normal year, revenues would probably have been down, because Sony’s current model—the PlayStation 4—is coming to the end of its life. But in a year marked by lockdowns and working from home, gaming revenue instead grew by 11.5% year-on-year (and operating profits by 61%) as housebound consumers reached for their controllers.

擁有一批“死忠粉”是再好不過的。10月28日，日本電子巨頭索尼公布了最新季度業(yè)績，旗下表現最好的是生產PlayStation系列游戲主機的電子游戲部門。換作是平常年頭，收入可能會下降，因為索尼當前一代的游戲主機PlayStation 4已進入它生命周期的尾聲。但在一個到處封鎖、居家辦公的年頭里，困守家中的消費者打游戲尋樂，游戲收入反而同比增長了11.5%(營業(yè)利潤上升了61%)。
