benefit of nintendo putting out 10 year old handheld ports of the same game and selling them for $60 dollars. sony working too hard for less
PlayStation Q1 FY2023 3.3 million PS5 sold
- Thread starter Ludwig
- Start date
They are? You are just not getting first party titles which they simply cannot produce for obvious reasons.
Reality says I've been right and Sony themselves said sales slowed down starting in April just like I said few months ago. Sorry not everyone lives Ina rose tinted bubble of delusion about our fave plastic box.
They will pass PS4 this year for sure....So they are less than 2 millions compared with PS4. It's doable but even if they don't reach it this year it's still good.
Btw, @Evilms is here too
Sometimes projection just means to draw in more investments so don't trusts them too much.
Units sold launch aligned after 11 quarters:
Wii 52.63M
PS4 43.7M
PS5 41.7M
Switch 41.67M
PS2 41.56M
A couple extra slides from the webcast. Guess why they are interested on GaaS: the majority of their software revenue comes from add-ons (DLC/IAP/passes).

Yes, very likely with the Q3/Holidays sales.

@Evilms that looks like a lot of fanfiction, unless Sony released some actual numbers we're not aware
Great job @Evilms.
Most of them are know data from Sony/Studios... so the estimates are more interesting.
GTS for example you estimated 8 million units but we know that GTS API had over 16 million different PSN accounts that played the game at least once.
I believe 8m acoounts that used the same copy of GTS is very hard to believe.
GT7 is impossible to know... PD changed the API do randomic Ids... so without the Id you can't find the users there.

There are very few estimates... everything else outside 11 estimates are already old shared data by Sony or Studio.
I can explain those numbers, there is a time back in 2019 where players would boost burner accounts to get to easier daily races at higher rate. Like millions at the time. After PD change some algorithms it just stop.
Most of the data comes from Sony (quarterly financial reports or PlayStation Blog).
I understand that but they removed near 800k account from that…. and 16m was already without them.
Of course I don’t believe it sold 14, 15, 16 million… it just the gap is too big imo.
