So your thesis is that retailers have tens or hundreds of PS5 consoles sitting on shelves or warehouses?
Past volume numbers like 20 million units / year, what do you think the percent difference between shipped and sold to customers will be?

Significant enough for a big game like Spiderman 2, Horizon and God of War 2 to receive universal praise, critical acclaim, yet sell like shit on current gen consoles.
A decent price drop would see a big uptick in console sales. I don't doubt there are people waiting to buy but need value proposition either with must-have games or a price-point that makes up for the lack of must-have games.
That hardware is more expensive in year 4 than it has been for 90% of launch day hardware says that the price is a major sticking point.
WTF are you talking about?
Spider Man 2 only exists on the PS5 and it sold 10 million copies until February. 1 out of every 5 people with a PS5 bought that game, and that's counting with me who bought the game on disc and then lent it to my friends.
10 million copies in 4 months is selling like shit?
The problem with Spider Man 2 was development costs, not sales numbers.
20% of the owners buying the biggest hit of the year is selling like shit. Especially as there's. I completion and few other games to buy.
Spiderman 2 was bundled as well, which makes the attach ratio worse.
Compare that to PS4 where a plethora of different games all sold well, with TLoU and Uncharted selling like gangbusters. Even 3rd parties were selling for fun on PS4.
Contrast that to the 10:1 attach rate of the switch, which has sold 150 million units. I don't know who's buying them, but goddamn do they love their Nintendo games.
cant take you seriously with a dumb post like this. since when is a 20% attach rate bad?? especially during launch
People, why do you keep engaging in conversation with xollowsob? It's a known xbox shill. Its only purpose is to stir shit up.
Inappropriate language
Oh I see what you mean.. Your mothers cunt is rancid.... which is why you perpetually smell like ass.

Honestly surprised they're ahead of PS4 with the utter drought of first party exclusives and the new PC ports. PlayStation has fallen
They're 800 000 units behind but without a price drop in Europe. Ahead in U.S.
It's Xbox strongest territory and they did drastically worse than Sony this gen.
I see no reason why PS5 should't sell significantly better than the PS4 (besides Sony doing stupid thing like not announcing games and releasing PC ports of their single player games).
Amazing how their asstimates are consistently off and always in the same direction.

For the biggest game of the year? Sequel to a highly successful marvel video game? Bundled to shit and back.
It's fine if you think that's ok, but it paints a picture that we all see, Sony are not going in the right direction.
Shut the fuck up already. You keep trotting this bullshit out. I was called a Sony pony for slagging Xbox off but I was right. Now Sony are doing the same shit. Sit there like a good shill and help kill Playstation like the Xbox shills did.
Yeah, you're just fishing for ragebait.
Ignored.
So I guess Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are flops too.
BOTW sold 30 million.
Tears of the Kingdom sold 20 million.
Thats poor considering you have 140 million Switch owners.
