20M first party sale. 11M from GoW so rest 9M for Horizon, GT7 and other exclusives.

62 digital, so Physical still going strong.

Overall, very impressive numbers.

Next Q also could be big, PSVR2, Dualsense Edge, Forspoken, GOW, Hogwarts Legacy etc..

this is GREAT NEWS! The numbers basically mean that it's very easy for Jim to nab more 3rd party exclusives moving forward. After seeing these numbers (PS UP +53% v XBOX DOWN -13%) Every publisher will prioritize dealings with Sony moving forward!


PS5 owners are going to be eating very well this generation!

Wait, Jim Ryan raised the price of the Playstation and sold 7 million consoles. Meanwhile Phil Spencer lowered the price of his consoles and sold 10% fewer than last year?

Someone explain this to me. How can a cheaper console with no games sell fewer units than an expensive console with games? It's almost as if...

Solid numbers. Pretty sure that drop in PS Plus subscribers will burn their heads for a while.

Still no game this gen has taken full advantage of the hardware and Sony's top 3 flagship studios in this regard (ND, SM, GG) have games way off in the horizon. Hoping Insomniac can take it to the next level with Spiderman.

How?

Series S and X are the worst Xbox consoles to date. That’s how.

Sony sold 34M first-party titles in the first 9 months of the fiscal quarter. If we look for the full 12 months, which would include Q4'21, they sold 48.5M first-party titles. We know GoW sold 11M, so it's very likely that HFW sold at the very least 10M so far.

Insane numbers. If each game "nets" $30 on average after tax, retail and online-store fees (for games on steam), that's $1.46B on first-party titles alone.

The GoW sales include January, which is already Q4, right? Would mean that the "share" of the other games is a bit higher.

May actually be beneficial to the Activision acquisition.

How? As far as I can see, the logical conclusion for anyone having a look at the results is:

1) Sub services are not moving the needle
2) Quality first party games lead to success
3) PlayStation releases more and better games than Xbox with lesser studios
4) Xbox needs to manage their current studios better to improve it's current position

11M includes January. so minus 2M from it? 9M fair to say?
