So now shareholders "conveniently" don't matter when SIE misses their sales targets? Interesting
Perspective matters.
Sony sold 20.8 million units last fiscal year with a sales target of 25 million.
If Sony sells 19 million units this fiscal year with a sales target of 18 million.
Which is the better year?
Madness as so called gamers we are more absorbed into sales targets and forecasts than actually discussing games.
And the Sony doom mongers have joined the bandwagon.
Do yourself and us a favour and move to another platform.
Grass is greener there.
These people aren't serious. They can't separate a goal from success or failure, which is wild.
The UK is presumably close as Dring said the PS5 just fell behind the PS4 recently. The other countries will be more difficult but we can assume Germany and France are where they're really falling behind.
Not only are these economies impacted by covid inflation but also rising costs due to the war in ukraine. The idea that the PS5 should be ahead in Europe despite the state of the economy just doesn't add up. Even the effects of Brexit will have negatively impacted the PS5 vs the PS4.
As Europe's economy slowly improves and as it becomes more difficult to stay on PS4, the PS5 will catch up in Europe and magically these guys will lose their biggest argument, mind you they won't relent even after the PS5 officially overtakes the PS4. They'll stick to their agenda, so it's not even worth arguing with them.
They're not looking to move. They just want to complain. This is their space to do it. It's apparently not against forum rules to just doom monger non stop. We get a new topic on it on an almost daily basis that adds nothing new to the discussion.
I know what you're getting at here, but if Sony is able to hit 18-19 million and component costs have reduced this year and they sell the PS5 Pro at cost or for profit, the 18 million would be better. Even 16 million could be better if they're selling the Pro for profit, and the Pro makes a good percentage of total sales.
It's why I tell people I don't think Sony is going to be aggressive in cutting the price anytime soon. They have no incentive to do so since Xbox is dead. The only thing I could envision pushing them to discount the price would be the Switch 2 selling a significant number of units to their target audience next year, but assuming it comes out in Spring and you have GTA6 around the corner for the fall, I would imagine you still wait...

If Sony wants to sell more consoles, they need to actually release some games for once

XDEV involved with 2 of these projects, you were quick to defends Nintendo's second party collaborations though.
might as well say Fire Emblem and Smash Bros "dont count".
Did you think the Ps2 was ass because 3rd parties carried its library?
Sony literally published 2 of those games, they are permanent console exclusives.

Smash bros is a Nintendo IP, Are you trying to imply FF7 is a Sony IP? Lmao
Fanboy mental gymnastics....
They are not 1st party IPs, I wouldn't bet on it staying exclusive.
Kena was a similar deal.
PC is also a competitor to PS AND if it stays console exclusive it's not PS merit, it's only because of Xbox failure.
