Japanese analyst firm Toyo Securities expects Sony Interactive Entertainment to ship 18.5 million PlayStation 5 consoles throughout next fiscal year.

The total installed base for Sony's PlayStation 5 console could break 80 million+ by March 2025, analysts have predicted.

Sony Interactive Entertainment expects to ship 25 million PlayStation 5 consoles throughout Fiscal Year 2023, which is the current period that ends on March 31, 2024. This target is the largest and most ambitious hardware shipment in PlayStation history, and results from the first half of the year (Q1-Q2 FY23) show that Sony is still 16 million consoles away from this goal.

This might not be the only big shipment fusillade that Sony is planning. According to a Games Industry.biz article, Japanese analyst firm Toyo Securities believes that Sony will ship 18.5 million PlayStation 5 consoles in the next Fiscal Year 2024 timeline.


If Sony can achieve its 25 million sales target for FY23, and then another 18.5 million consoles shipped for FY24, then the PlayStation 5's total worldwide cumulative lifetime shipments would sit at 81.9 million.

These trends align with the PS4's past performance; on an aligned basis, the PlayStation 4 achieved back-to-back shipments of 20 million and 19 million across FY16 and FY17, respectively.

The forecast assumes that Sony can secure an adequate number of parts contracts without compromising proft too much--Sony wants to sell and ship all PS5 consoles at a profit and not a loss. To its credit, the Japanese electronics giant has made great strides in reducing the costs of console shipments through multiple hardware revisions, including the new PS5 Slim model that makes all units disc-less by default

Weak if true, would be a pretty good sign that we won't have a strong line up of games or an aggressive price drop.

Exactly. Ppl expect for console sales to be up every year? Only thing tht could stir that are aggressive price cuts but Sony doesn't need to do tht nor want to because they want to make profit. Im curious to see if Pro launches this year, it could also stimulate sales from double dippers.

PlayStation is “in Decisive Decline” in Japan, Analyst Says Following PS5’s Underwhelming Launch

Sony's official response

Any suggestion that Sony is shifting its focus away from Japan is incorrect and doesn't reflect the company's strategy, spokeswoman Natsumi Atarashi said. She noted that the PlayStation 5 is launching first in Japan and said "our home market remains of utmost importance."

These are very old articles. Don't get it

80 million in 4 years is extremely good imo.

Of course it is! Ppl be buggin on here and trying to put a negative spin on everything.

 

[Thirty7ven]

We will see what Sony expects to sell when they announce it. This prediction is coming from a shit house analyst, who gives a fuckz

 

[Bryank75]

Should be over 20, especially with the Pro model and so many exclusives at the start of the year.

If this is the case, I feel pc ports and the lack of console focus has really started to take effect.

It should be a down year going forward considering no price cut, and i dont see why they would or should cut the price. From 25 mil to 18.5 mil is a big drop to predict tho, i i am assuming it stays above 20 for 2024.

 

[anonpuffs]

Isnt this the same dude who said the "100 million consoles isn't enough to recoup R&D" bullshit?

OH idk, is it? Tht guys an idiot.

Anything below 20 million would be a failure on their part considering the abysmal start they had for the first 2 years. The waning demand should definitely have them concerned.

Of course these aren't official estimates but 20 million should be the bar.

 

[Nhomnhom]

In its 4th year is fucking decent number. Compared to PS4 :

I can't see the PS5 selling less than the PS4 as anything but a complete failure from Sony. The PS5 should sell considerably more than the PS4 if Sony had done their job.

It would be the proof we need to know for sure that the GaaS pivot, PC port push and passive marketing were very poor strategies.

They'll need a miracle to happen for them to reach that 25 million target.

They’ve satisfied the pent-up demand and will continue to sell well, but not to record levels.


People need to get real about sales.

2024 might see an economic downturn, especially in Europe. Europe has still yet to recover from the effects of the sanctions against Russia, in particular gas. The Suez Canal being shut down at the moment doesn’t help with shipping goods to and from Europe. That’s the biggest wild card for me so far.
