So that was March 21 to March 22. By march 21, they had sold 7.8m ps5. They are probably close to 18m. Currently they are on 13.6m (reported until Sept 21) .
I am trying to figure out what the might mean for a YoY number.
Assuming that Sony matches Xbox 4% YoY HW revenue growth (cause the extra two months)
PS 'Q4' for 2020, they shipped 4.5M so assuming that 4% growth, they would have shipped 4.7m last quarter so 18.3M LTD.
Pro for Sony unit numbers:
- extra month (6 weeks) for selling PS5's Cons for the revenue number in terms of reporting:
- the JPY is 15% weaker
Cons for the unit numbers:
- Sony is technically down YoY in JP ~20% (212k 2020 which is 5% of their global unit sales, 169k this year). I think that's probably more of a factor of redistributing units to different countries.
Ignore the -100% on the Sony column.
