PS4 was 399 for most of its life compared to 499, widely avavailbale, and was 299 its third holiday plus the pro just came out. IDK if sony will reach 25 million sold but they just over 1 million at mostly 499, spiderman 2 had good legs, older software picked up in sales if you look passed the top 10, and outsold xbox 2:1 in its strongest market. Look im usually a debbie downer but this is a good month for PS no matter how people want to spin it.
Agreed. selling 50k less on hardware that's $200 more expensive sounds like a win to me.

They also argued that ABK pulls in so much money that it can just subsidize hardware and it doesn't matter how poorly the console sells.

these bots are INSANE

Then they will have a meltdown about games exclusivity being up in the air. The whole point of exclusives is to push the hardware and ecosystem. If anything the strategy they are commending is MS going third party, which they don't want to admit.

The concern trolling about PS5 hardware sales and Alan Wake 2 sales is hilarious when Sony is doing a record year sales wise, and Alan Wake 2 sales are not even tracked because Epic doesn't share the data.

But you will see more actual hardware declines thanks to Jim Ryan's first party drought in 2024.
November sales are still a bit weak though? December sales will be interesting to say the least.

2024 will be a good year for Playstation software wise.

Also, weren't the PS5 sales in the UK this year so much higher than they were last year that it kinda makes up for somewhat lower US sales?
Yeah should make it up a bit.

Just over 100K+ extra sales from the UK this november.

EU, Japan and other regions will add alot more then UK.

Install Base confuses more than era at times. You have users saying PS+ price hike ruined Ps5 sales, And then you have a barrage of people claiming that COD will save Xbox sales. Like aren't they supposed to be the experts? lmao its pathetic, they went from starfield to cod being the savior

They think a game that's not allowed to be exclusive for 10 years will boost Xbox sales?

  • Remedy Entertainment has not announced any sales figures for Alan Wake 2 after nearly two months, pointing to poor sales.
  • Exclusivity on Epic Games and the lack of a physical release might have hindered sales.
  • The sales numbers may have improved after Alan Wake 2 won various awards at TGA 2023.
It’s been almost two months since Alan Wake 2 was released. While the game is undoubtedly a massive success among the fans, the financial numbers might not have lived up to expectations.

Despite this impressive horror release, Remedy Entertainment has yet to announce any sales figures, suggesting the game didn’t sell well.


Concerns were raised when Mat Piscatella from Circana reported that the game failed to make it among the top 100 played titles on Xbox and PlayStation. While Epic Games sales weren’t included, this was a major red flag.



In a year like 2023, Remnant 2 sold 1 million copies in a week. Therefore, there was reason to believe Alan Wake 2 would achieve even better results, but nearly two months after launch, Remedy Entertainment has not made any announcements.
