PS5 has hit 4M sales in the UK. 31 more weeks than PS4, although had a much higher price point

What a mess! I knew it was trailing in the UK but not by that much.. it will probably match the PS3 sales by the end of its run at this pace

Can't imagine how much worse it is across Europe

Jesus. At almost twice the revenue generated as the switch and in less time. Beast.

I guarantee you unit sales aren't only thing on Sony's mind.

Considering they need sales so revenue can become profit, they certainly have unit sales on their minds over revenue lol.

Pretty good but took a while longer than Ps4. Its time for a permanent price drop or something

Price is not a factor....$500 in 2024 is nothing. $300 in 2013-2015 went A LOT farther than $500 does today.

Considering the higher price, the economy and Covid causing delays, the PS5 did extremely well all things considered.

The Xbox One doing well in spite of itself shows that Don Mattrick's early reign could have been easily overcome. The Xbox owners misfortune was Phil took over.

People fighting over price and inflation. The fact is that this generation of consoles isn't attractive at all.

Basically. I feel like people completely forgot what it was like trying to get a PS5 during the pandemic. Insane supply constraints, higher price considered, PS5 is doing extremely well indeed. This generation is far removed from previous gens in terms of the norm and given how chaotic the industry is, I never quite get the need to paint this as a dire situation anywhere close to what’s happening with Xbox. PS is doing fine.

Trust me, PS is in trouble.
