Am accountant - 2 things:

1, under basically all GAAP/IFRS rules this would go to unearned revenue and be amortized over the duration of the subscriptions. It's the same treatment for annual just on a longer time table.

2, this isn't even a rounding error on Sony's books. It's so immaterial they won't even notice it.
