That's crazy. Ps2 was killing it back then.

Feb 2005 Hardware

PS2 = 533,000
Xbox = 212,000
GCN = 116,000

So PS5 sold over 533,000 in February 2023 in the US.

 

[HotSauceEnema]

So PS5 sold over 533K units this month, Hogwarts, The Last of Us, and good stock really did that perfect for them

 

[onQ123]

It could also be the other way round. Since SX stocks are not gret and people are not too interested in SS the Xbox sales are low. The difference between Switch and Xbox may be very less with in 10K ? The only number they provided is PS5 was 29% higher compared to Feb 2022.

PS5 isn't 29% higher that was the industry as a whole.

 

[Thief1987]

Isn't this where you always post you see PS sales falling hard and how it's becoming irrelevant.

You say that in every sales chart regardless of how well it sells. What's the delay this month?

But, I'll agree Octopath Traveler 2 is great. Wish it was doing better, as I want more stuff like it.

I'm sure he is warming up right now for some incredible spin.

lol you are right. But without numbers it is difficult to estimate the sales

 

[Kvally]

I contributed to the Forsaken sales, and I am god damn happy about it.

I mean they are targeting 6+ million for the quarter, so this numbers are what we should expect.

 

[AlexxKidd]

the one's so in denial that they pretend its not #1 are the funniest to me, literally so scared of a videogame... lol

The scared of being banned if they mention He Who Shall Not Be Named so they go obnoxiously overboard to placate their fear-mongering mods by acting like what could end up being the No. 1 selling game of the year - a game made for children by the way - doesn't exist because of its association with its author. Meanwhile Saudi Arabia is collecting bigger and bigger percentage checks from their increasing Nintendo investments but don't expect the same energy cause Rowling is much worse, obviously.

Jesus. Thats massive for a non holiday month.

 

[Henry Panic]

Guess this means Xbox sold alot of xsx if they are n2 at $ sales.

Maybe that means stock will improve in time for Redfall.

 

[SlimySnake]

That's crazy. Ps2 was killing it back then.

I think this is when sony cut the price of that slim model down to either $150 or $99.

i remember buying one in 2005 to replace my DRE infected OG PS2.

 

[Ghost23]

Resetera really in denial that PS5’s insane February sales was because of its genius marketing deal with Hogwarts Legacy.

 

[Ronin_7]

PS5 is unstoppable. There's nothing stopping it at this point.

Sony just needs to start preparing next gen now and deliver great games on PS5.

Yeah, I bought the slim for $99 brand new with MLB 06: The Show back then because 2K's "next-gen" baseball was so garbage on the 360, that a previous gen's game looked (animations wise) and played so much better.

 

[Heisenberg007]

TLOU P1 comfortably outselling all 3 new February releases: Ishin, Octopath Traveler 2, and Wild Hearts.

 

[DarkMage619]

Hogwarts being first in sales on Xbox seems to contradict the notion that Xbox games don't sell. This was true even with less consoles sold. Of course MS doesn't rely solely on console sales to compete in this industry so that isn't the same as the other two console makers. Interesting indeed.

February 2005 is the month Gran Turismo 4 came out. And yeah Gamestop had a crazy trade in deal for the Slim model that month, I traded in my sketchy original model for a Slim console and it cost me very little, like less than $50 I think.

No they're impressive.

GTAV and Mario Kart 8 legs are insane.

I'm really curious why we won't be getting platform-specific charts anymore?

Oh I wonder which company is always trying to hide shit when it comes to numbers and sales.

I'm just happy for Hogwarts Legacy, the rest doesn't bother me. That game deserves all the glory it can gets.

I think we had leaks of the numbers from last year but I don't know where to look for them

 

[Kenshin775]

Sonic Frontiers has legs even at full price. Actually I am not sure if it was full price in February but its shows $59.99 on the Xbox store right now. Its still getting extremely high user reviews so word of mouth is positive and helping sales.

Its going to keep selling IMO for a few reasons
- Sonic Prime will be back with a 2nd season and we could see a bump similar to TLOU from fans of the show that want to check out the new game
- Free content including new playable characters(knuckles, Tails, Amy) that are rumored in the fall
- I would expect more price cuts in the summer and fall
- Sonic Origins Ultimate is coming out and people that beat that game are going to want more Sonic.

You can pretend it's in last place of that makes you feel better. Rankings are rankings. There's always going to be something in 1st place.

Edit: NVM you were joking.

How does that even work?
The notion that Xbox games don't sell would mean that Hogwarts can't be first?

Right, Microsoft games....Microsoft didnt publish or own Hogawarts Legacy? When people say Xbox games, they mean exclusive games published by Microsoft that isnt available on playstation.

They got a lot of standalones and digitals in march aswell.

Not on Ree, where the number 2 tops the list...

MS doesn't need to focus on selling console like sony/nintendo do, so not really an accurate metric for people to be dooming and glooming with hyperbole lol, also SX stock is limited currently. And Xbox games are on Game Pass too.

This is one of the biggest fallacies perpetuated. In order to grow subs for your loss-leading service and get them in a more stable black, you need to grow console sales for new subscribers.

Miles Morales has some nice legs.

So they will need console sales then, yes?

Message from consumers is clear for MS: stop pr bs and delivery good AAA games. It is all about games. We are waiting since 2017.
