Yeah no reason someone who really wants one of these consoles doesn't have one by now.
I have seen a lot of Series X sitting and shelves in multiple stores in Indiana and Florida and a few PS5s on shelves in Indiana

Slim models first.
I can’t imagine releasing a pro when we’re still knee deep in cross gen games

That would be nice. I'm thinking some of these "delays" have been artificial with the install base. Not too mention cross gen games.
I feel like they will be harder to get a hold of for Christmas like always but stock does seem to be flowing much better.

Sony did project a major increase in their sales forecast.

Yeah, Sony wasn’t gonna let Ragnarok fail due to stock issues. It’s probably how they convinced SE to push back Forspoken, there will be millions more PS5 in homes by christmas

nah. in a world of 'smart' everything, not to mention trade wars, i think that the chip supply crisis is basically here to stay. we'll just be alternating between times of relative plenty & scarcity from now on...

November and December is going to be crazy for Sony.

I think the redesign is what is helping with the yields mostly. I’m pretty sure its part of why sony estimated higher supply for this fiscal year

source for the data? or is he just guessing

Smaller APU for more yields.

He just posted the shipping data. Its measured in weight

Yeah they did and some people were questioning it! 18m is nothing for sony. They are aiming even higher for next fiscal year too. They don't just make these projections up. They know things, that we don't.

400% vs 89%
Sony's got the production down good at least. I wonder how much of that 89% is Series S vs X, as X's seem to be out of stock in most places while S is more easily available comparatively.

PlayStation is going to do numbers this holiday season and if GoW gets the critic acclaim we think it will, it's going to dominate

They'll need to ship a shit load of consoles to hit their 18m forecast. So yeah, PS5 is gonna have an insane holiday season. Time to flood the market with PS5s as the shortages finally come to an end.

Yes, it's the perfect storm of great games, increased supply and that time of the year

Not just the holiday season, if they really are aiming for 30.5 million PS5'x next FY then this holiday season will be a prelude to something really massive.
I can't wait to see what their complete 2023 lineup looks like for them to feel confident of pushing that many units out the door.. assuming the rumor is accurate, of course.

I don't know about the PS5.
On StockX, the XBox X is selling for $525, which is pretty consistent with what we have seen over the past few months. The Blu-Ray edition of the PS5 is still going for $630. It still seems like there is a significant unmet demand for the PS5.
I guess I shouldn't put too much faith in the StockX price being an accurate measure of supply and demand, but, the StockX price for the XBox X has been pretty much spot on with supply and demand.

Are sony really aiming for 30.5m next year? It's just a rumour isnt it? But that would be crazy, if true. New record for them.

I think tom Henderson said it, who knows sounds kind of outrageous. I think the PS4’s highest selling year was around 23m
Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy are pretty big though, so that alone would be enough. I’m not sure but i feel like they have another big game planned, maybe Factions

The 30.5 million rumor comes from Tom Henderson who most definitely has sources. It originates from his leak about the PS5 revision with the detachable disc drive due out next September.
Even if we ignore that rumor, Sony themselves have stated they expect the PS5 sales curve to surpass the PS4 sales curve next FY, meaning they'd have to ship over 23 million consoles. I think that might also be a record for Sony consoles.

Still have to pre-order in Australia and even then it’s $900 because it comes with a pack-in.

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
I could easily see ps5 give a slim version given how insanely huge it is.
Xbox Series X is surprisingly small (only seen it at a retailer), so I doubt it can get much smaller
Yeah these won't match units at all, Sony were air freighting last year. That's why September this year is bigger than Oct+Nov+Dec combined for last year.

I hope. The perfect holiday gift.
Yeah, without knowing the % of units being air freights vs ship, this number could be a bit/very off.
10 days till NPD results
21 days till Sony results

The cheapest disk PS5 is right now 749€.
Cheapest diskless PS5 759€. lol
Cheapest disk bundle, Fifa, is 775€.
So quite above the MSRP of 549€.
X can be ordered for 500, S currently 260.
I can get "one of those consoles", correct, but I obviously want the wrong one...

If Sony had enough stock they could beat Nintendo in november NPD which would be really something as Nintendo almost always win November.

$412m hw revenue last year
For note, unfortunately I think the delay between shipment and sales numbers will make forecast npd numbers hard and the factor of air freight.

How about we get more than a handful of games for the first lot of machines for this gen first?
