With the current price, results are gonna be up and down. Im sure price drops later will help and more game releases.

If it sells close to PS4 Pro numbers by the end of the gen with this starting price its a success. Good start though

Came to check on the doomers. You guys okay? Let us know if you need anything.

They'll drop the price of this after the GTA6 sales momentum dies down. It's pretty clear and obvious what they're waiting for at this point.

All the while, they've kept pace with the PS4 despite the higher price. Crazy that doomers even exist to be honest.

@Evilms by any chance would you have any data for PS4 / Pro first NPD month?

The PS4 Pro sold 1.7 units million during its launch window.

This is what analysts predicted for the PS5 Pro.

Looks like it is selling beyond their expectations too.

Despite this, Ampere predicts "around 1.3m PS5 Pro consoles will be bought by consumers in the 2024 launch window". In comparison, the PS4 Pro sold 1.7m units on its launch.

"We expect the price point to soften demand with some consumers, but for PlayStation enthusiasts the pricing is less of a consideration," Harding-Rolls said. "According to Ampere data, over its life, the PS4 Pro sold-through 14.5m units, around 12 percent of total PS4 sales."

Ampere is currently expecting the PS5 Pro to "sell-through around 13m units" come 2029.

I was asking about the PS4 / Pro North American first month sales really. As I'm curious about the increase it had on the PS4 sales.

NPD has never disclosed monthly sales figures for the PS4 Pro. They just gave estimates for the PS4 sales combined (Pro included).

But according to Mat Piscatella, The Pro represent 13% of the total PS4 in the US.



PS4 LTD : 34.8 million
so PS4 Pro total is ~4.5 million


However, with the laucnh of PS4 Pro, monthly sales it was :

November 20161 160 000
December 20161 568 000
January 2017211 000
February 2017398 500
March 2017397 000
April 2017206 000
May 2017187 000
June 2017381 000
July 2017217 000
August 2017194 000
September 2017310 000
October 2017205 000
November 20171 582 000
December 20171 080 000
