3.8m PS5 shipped.
seems slightly less than the PS4 did in the same Quarter:


which is fair since the PS5 pro was revealed about 20 days before the end of the quarter
oh lord, it's worse than anyone could predict :\

spoiler alert: they won't meet their forecast for the second year in a roll
If Fairgame$ blows up unexpectedly like Hell Divers II but this time more on PS5 than PC they might

So, are we doomed yet or not?

Legit question, i don't really follow quarterly reports.

Yeah 400k less.
Compared with previous quarter that was 900k less.

It was good recover… probably should sell more in Q3 due the Pro.

FairGame$ is being heavily trashed by the PC community already, it's gonna take a miracle for the game to be succeeded unfortunately

First quarter game sales increased compared with last year.

600k more first-party games sold this year even with Concord failure.

no sign of increase despite requiring a PSN account to play on Steam? that's what you're telling me?

What game(s) do you think are driving Monthly PSN account utilization on Steam? You can't even stay consistent with your arguments.

so lifetime aligned:

PS4: 67,7M
PS5: 65,5M

it's 2M behind in hardware sales

PS4 sold 5.9M in the last Q of 2017

hope PS5 sells at least 4,5M so the disparity won't get even bigger.

according to common sense, they have no major tentpole title in the holidays

What they need for the holidays is a price drop. The vast majority of sales during that period come from the usual COD/Fifa/Madden crowd. Those are the "tentpole" holiday titles, like every single year.

Not even sure what are you saying…

PS4 shipped 2.5m units in Q4 FY2017.
9m in Q3 FY2017.

I don’t know where you got these 4.5m…. Actually there is no PS4 quarter with 4.5m shipped.

Q3 will be big due to the PS5 Pro and the 30th anniversary slate.

They'll probably need to do about 7.8 million units to get on pace for 18 million units.

1.25 million PS5 Pros ought to do it. It would mean about 6.55 million standard units.

Objectively they're in pretty good shape if you assume they can sell 2 million PS5 Pros by March 31st.

Agree. Both PC, Xbox & PS gamers are already trashing Fairgames. And that’s not counting the X/Twitter users ready to throw a field day & monetize the grift w YouTubers aswell.

PS/Sony just suck at controlling the narrative. Sega sue a creator for continue harassing. Sony/PS should be hitting these grifters w lawsuits & copyright strike to keep them in check monetizing miss information & grifting PS, PS studios or its developers because it will only grow w PS focus in GAAS & porting & lack of exclusive games on PS the PS platform is weak & in threat because it no longer has the thing (exclusive games) that acted as a shield against competition, grifters/PC players (players on any other platform) or even these media outlet.

Fairgames look better then concord from a design standpoint but even then it has to climb a big hill against the anti woke people & grifters that have already label Fairgames as DEI
