Matt Piscatella: PS5 unit sales are trending 7% ahead of PS4, and 66% ahead of PS3 launch-aligned in the US

Times are pretty rough in Europe as their energy cost are through the roof. The United States made them stop getting gas, oil, and resources from Russia and Europe has no choice because the United States protects them or they'd be food.

GTA6 and hopefully upcoming AAA 1st party games will give a boost
I still believe in PS4 numbers if the base model gets proper discounts.

Are you joking?
PS4 did 117m with a slow start and Xbox doing much better, and you think 155m for PS5 is impossible? Cmon. If I was in charge, the PS5 would easily reach 200m sold. Possibly more.
They have A LOT of work to do across Europe. They're losing Spain quickly kinda unreal to see as well.
Japanese PC gaming saw another year of explosive growth
The unexpected trend continues upward with no end in sight.
Ground floor of Yodobashi Camera stores in Tokyo these days is usually largely dedicated to PC gaming hardware.
I love how easily these people make stuff up.
Explain to me why EA FC is ranked 31st in Germany on Steam then.
In fact, most of the games on Steam in Germany are PC exclusive or PC oriented rather than console oriented games.
Great for Sony, more people that can sell their PC games to.Japanese PC gaming saw another year of explosive growth

Again with the narrow sight. The core audience will make the jump first, casuals will follow.
GoT PC port at #3, Helldivers 2 at #9, R&C #24.
Steam doesn't count pirated copies.
Its not showing for now. It will matter if changes things in the longterm. Maybe mid PS6 gen, 2030.
Valve failed before, but things change, look at Nintendo and MS. Steam Machine was 10 years ago, they are doing so much better now than back then. And Its not even about if they win or fail, its about they are competition to PS.
If Steam isnt competition, then Nintendo/Switch is less direct competition to PS than Steam is. Pretty sure porting games to Switch will sell more copies than it does on Steam. If its all about profits than why not port games to Nintendo machines too?
All its gonna take Steam making a console like device and then every other 3rd party will do, like Steamdeck. Then its not about how many they sell, they will all run SteamOS/steam store which means sales for them and entry into the living room again.
Games will be cheaper, online will be and free and it will have Playstation games.
Steam is competition, former PS CEO/Presidents have said it, Nintendo knows it, Playstation knew it and Xbox basically nailed there coffin when they started porting games to PC.
Even if sales dont go down, I still think Playstation is better off being like Nintendo and what they use to be. Playstation only titles, and giving people reasons to move over to PS instead of possibly other competition.
It worked for 4 generations…And worked for Nintendo for decades. It didnt work out for Xbox though…. Why follow the loser and abandon your own successful formula

While "creative accounting" is certainly Gamepass' second, third and fourth names, I'm not sure how Sony can be creative at altering unit sales reported by a 3rd party.
How dare they, being wrong by 3%.
They are copying Microsoft at everything else, they may as well copy them at 'sold through' and 'sold in' shenanigans.
PS4 numbers are sold to customers
PS5 numbers are..?
