Thanks to the support of PlayStation fans globally, the PS5 console has experienced strong momentum this year...sonyinteractive.com
This is 50 million sold to consumers. Was the 25mn for the FY23 sold-through or shipped?
EU sales did some good work there"Nonetheless, Lempel said the latest Black Friday sales period helped make it the biggest November for PlayStation sales, when measured by both units and revenues, in Sony’s almost 30-year history in gaming."
Did you know that E3 is officially dead?30 millions in December 2022. 40 millions in July. 50 millions in December 2023. 60 millions for when? Great success. I hope that the next E3 will be good. With a PS5 Pro expected, a price cut could happen. So no reason for the sales to slow down unless the Switch 2 is really good.
Instead of raging so hard in this thread about it, embrace it.Not really. It's just one of those snarky, low effort "but but but people said " comments people make in response to console war trauma.
What it also means is the PS5 is about to jump ahead of the PS4 and should remain there.
Consider this is with a pandemic and the PS5 is a monster!
If a PS5 Pro comes, it won't decline in 2025
3:1 ratio between playstation and xbox.
Stay in bed phil and call in sick.

Yeah, but Xbox is basically at 25 million units sold so I'm not sure that's how maths works?
Still, this is an incredible achievement and it's about to overtake the PS4...which is CRAZY!
I know. But I found it easier to say E3 than Sony conference in the E3 period or something like that.Did you know that E3 is officially dead?
3:1 in 2023.Yeah, but Xbox is basically at 25 million units sold so I'm not sure that's how maths works?

PS5 can sell 300 million units and become the best selling system of all time for all I care. That still doesn’t change the fact that its easily the worst Playstation console of my lifetime. PS3 was a state-of-the-art multimedia device that slowly but surely built a library distinct from the 360, with a much lower hardware failure rate, backwards compatability, and free online multiplayer to boot. PS4 was essentially a $400 medium-settings pc with access to pretty much any third party game you can think of. It wasn’t spectacular, but offered lower & middle class folks a reliable little system as evidenced by the lifetime sales. Plus dat Bloodborne.
PS5 has nothing going for it outside faster load times and PS4 BC. Like I’m supposed to be excited for Nu-God of War, Horizon, and Marvel shit? 99% of everything interesting coming out for PS5 is on PS4 (lol) and/or PC. Fuck videogames.
PS2 was a golden age. PS3 got hype but many games were better on the 360 than on it. PS4 was good, but no PS2 levels of great games each year. I think that Sony will manage to have some great game on the PS5 in the next few years, and that will be enough for me. I prefer be happy to still have a Ratchet & Clank to wait for than be sad that my youth will never be back. With Sony putting games on PC faster and faster, by next gen I think that some of us will abandon the platform if the latest rumors are true. Spiderman 2 on PC that fast?

maybe they will have to buy publishers to increase their FP output . And if I remember correctly their current projection is like 2 FP games a year?Pretty wild they had such a successful year with only 1 first party game. Good for them
A ton coming out Q1 2024.Great and all but let's see some games.
They had 2nd party games you know?Pretty wild they had such a successful year with only 1 first party game. Good for them
They are default AAA console, certainly in Europe and Asia. So anytime big game like Hogwarts is coming out, it's another reason for people to buy PlayStation. Normal people don't really care that some other people with other hardware can also play it.Pretty wild they had such a successful year with only 1 first party game. Good for them

This here. We are at PS2 status, folks. Most 3rd party games will sell far, far more on PS5 making said game virtually exclusive.They are default AAA console, certainly in Europe and Asia.

Next guaranteed console seller is GTA6.

I'm afraid to even ask.and the Xbox is doing what Xboxes do
Yeah, but Xbox is basically at 25 million units sold so I'm not sure that's how maths works?

No quality first party exclusive for 2024 though if there was then 2024 would be another banger
All because of the failed push towards Live Service.
I’ve never had so many people immediately quote reply a comment so fast. lol. I was literally just pointing out a fact, I own all consoles and a high end PC.Pretty wild they had such a successful year with only 1 first party game. Good for them
