Give them more time to bake in the oven. PSVR2 this holiday, then more reveals for 2023.No point in pushing lots of system seller exclusives out ASAP if nobody can buy the console lol

This suits me just fine. Hopefully when they see no drop in first party sales they realize you don't have to announce games more than 6 months before release and only have to give a release date a couple months before or soThey don't even have an incentive to show them if you think about it, that's why Sony seems much more restrained about hyping people up this time.
This situation where they only have like 3 games announced is very unusual, specially since they are bigger than ever as a publisher after all the acquisitions.
I still havent seen a PS5, Series console or non Switch Lite on shelves yet. Granted I dont go shopping in the electronics sections much these days but still.Amazing!
And I’ve still not seen a single one on a shelf.
I see Switch all the time, even OLEDs. But I've never seen a PS5 in stores.I still havent seen a PS5, Series console or non Switch Lite on shelves yet. Granted I dont go shopping in the electronics sections much these days but still.
And this is with me knowing Series consoles are now in stock on a daily basis in some places.
Xbox Series X can be bought here in Sweden for about $600 now. Series S is readily available for $300.I still havent seen a PS5, Series console or non Switch Lite on shelves yet. Granted I dont go shopping in the electronics sections much these days but still.

It probably isn't, the Xbox One sold pretty well early on. Even if the Series S/X is doing better (I doubt it's doing more than a couple of million extra units at most), it has a $299 SKU and the massive investment/push for Gamepass.Xbox Series X can be bought here in Sweden for about $600 now.

PS5 only sell at some weird shady sellers who want $900+ or at roughly launch price in small batch retailer lotteries minutes after they go show up in stock. It’s a mess.
It would be interesting to know the real official figures split between these two platforms. I suspect Xbox is much closer to PS this gen compared to previous gens.
Chill and drop the war hammer I’m just interested in what the split looks like right now since it’s so difficult to get a PS5 while XSX|S is available.It probably isn't, the Xbox One sold pretty well early on.

The PS5 is still supply constrained and in much higher demand world wide and that's before the launch of the new PS+. Sony is barely showing what they got as far as future games because they have very little incentive to do so while short on supply. The reality is that PlayStation is still dominant when it comes to traditional consoles and in a better position than it ever was (their consoles doesn't sell as much as the PS2 but it makes a lot more money for them).
Based on VGC the "source" MS used to promote that figure, it's like 1~2m units ahead of the Xbox One.Chill and drop the war hammer I’m just interested in what the split looks like right now since it’s so difficult to get a PS5 while XSX|S is available.
I know MS isn’t showing real figures but what’s the latest estimation? 13 mil?
Isn’t VGC pure guestimates? Are MS using them now?Based on VGC the "source" MS used, it's like 1~2m units ahead of the Xbox One.
i bought 3 at launch, one for me and 2 for family. congrats
You got that wrong MS said the one who reach 10 mil. Consoles sold first will win the generation. Whe have seen where that PR speech went....First to 20 million wins
I think that is the source of the 13m number that is thrown around, someone at MS rewetted the VGC estimate and that's it I think. Why would they do that instead of making an official statement is beyond me.Isn’t VGC pure guestimates? Are MS using them now?
Then I agree with your previous post that it’s likely worse than assumed. So lower than 14.43 mil then based on latest VGC figures, MS would use a more professional tracker if the numbers were better. So maybe 2:1.3?
That, and just casually. None of this chasing the things around.Congratulations to Sony!
Hope they manage to figure out their supply issues and make more consoles, because I wanna buy one at a normal price lol.
Games look so much better on PS5i'm waiting for a PS5 Slim. i'm not having that thing sitting beside my TV. they need to slim it down and get rid of the glossy shit.
the wait is made easier due to lack of any meaningful PS5 exclusives. i've kept my PS4 to play HFW, GT7. hopefully in 2023/2024 there will be exclusives and a Slim model i know this is a concept but it looks so much better:
Yup, this too.Some countries get more consoles than others, I'm certain we don't get more than a dozen a week.

The king
I can taste the salt from reading this.Congrats to all the shareholders!
With Stray it will quickly reach 30.
Hmm thoughtful, wouldn’t surprise me if MS are pulling some shady shipped numbers tactics here, and I’ve seen Series S on shelves since launch.I think that is the source of the 13m number that is thrown around, someone at MS rewetted the VGC estimate and that's it I think. Why would they do that instead of making an official statement is beyond me.
There is also the difference between shipped and sold to consumers. Since the PS5 is pretty much sold out everywhere it doesn't matter but the Series S is widely available for a long time now (everywhere as far as I know, don't know about the Series X and how it's doing worldwide).
It was just a joke because we get tons of business threads, relax bro.I can taste the salt from reading this.
Well PS5 was first to 10 as well, so I assumed goalposts were adjusted accordingly.You got that wrong MS said the one who reach 10 mil. Consoles sold first will win the generation. Whe have seen where that PR speech went....
This argument is kinda silly imo, a part of 'newsworthiness' around a story is related to how typically or untypical the event is.Yup, this too.
Thats what made the articles about PS5 and Series S in Japan for that 1 week funny:
For weeks Sony was supplying 20,000-30,000 consoles to Japan, no articles.
The one week when they provided 2,000-6,000 "For the first time ever Xbox sold more consoles than Sony in Japan"
Context doesnt matter for some ppl tho.
Now that Sony is supplying more consoles to Japan again.....crickets.....
Console wars ftw!!First to 20 million wins
If the ps5 outsells the switch in japan for a week, you will get your article. But as of now the switch outsells the ps5 5:1 in japan.Now that Sony is supplying more consoles to Japan again.....crickets...
When Xbox gets second in a territory, it's all about Xbox vs PlayStation. But when PlayStation is ahead of Xbox, it only matters if It outsold Switch.If the ps5 outsells the switch in japan for a week, you will get your article. But as of now the switch outsells the ps5 5:1 in japan.
It’s all about what’s interesting.
The real story is the software sales tbh. Microsoft first party comfortably outsold Sony first party in Japan last year. Unprecedented.Yup, this too.

PS4 hit 20 mil in 15 months.
So the ps5 is 4 months behind the ps4, and it will not catch up until 2024 (according to Sony).
The Xbox has been selling nearly the same or more as ps5 this quarter. So the gap in units will remain around 4-5 million units.
That’s a much smaller units sold gap compared to the 8th generation. Where it was around 2.5:1
This generation is much more competitive. Hopefully that gives us better games and deals.

Again, what is context.... it only happened because Sony didnt supply the same amount as the previous weeks.If the ps5 outsells the switch in japan for a week, you will get your article. But as of now the switch outsells the ps5 5:1 in japan.

Exactly.When Xbox gets second in a territory, it's all about Xbox vs PlayStation. But when PlayStation is ahead of Xbox, it only matters if It outsold Switch.
Not sure no one said that it wasnt a supply issue but it was still a newsworthy story, right?Again, what is context.... it only happened because Sony didnt supply the same amount as the previous weeks.
You can check current Media Create sales threads for the amounts....since Sony is now supplying more PS5's to Japan again....crickets....
