Sooo, any chance of them finally focusing on this Gen instead of cross Gen with these new numbers, or are we still a ways off?
PlayStation 5 has sold over 30 million units worldwide
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Right now every game they have announced for the PS5 is PS5-only. Now Hermen's said that there will still be other cross-gen games, but it seems like by and large that the PS5 is now their focus. The fact that Horizon's DLC is PS5-only speaks volumes.
I'm hoping Astro's playroom gets a PsVR2 upgrade version too. Missed out on the first game for PSVR1.

Considering the production issues the new gen consoles have had, its a lot. Should be outpacing the PS4 soon if they can keep up with producing for the insane demand of the PS5
Nice.
So according to experts on Era, we should be around 5-6 more years away from them finally getting to that 100 mil mark so they can move away from cross-gen comfortably.
Let's go!

They have been focusing on this gen the whole time. Just because the games run on ps4 as well does not mean they aren't Ps5 games. They load faster, run better and look better on ps5. They are current gen games.
Roughly aligned:
Wii: 44.96m (26 months, sell-in, 3 holidays)
PS4: 37.6m (26 months, sell-in, 3 holidays)
PS4: 35.9m (26 months, sell-through, 3 holidays)
DS: 35.61m (26 months, sell-in, 3 holidays)
NSW: 34.74m (25 months, sell-in, 2 holidays)
GBA: 33.71m (26 months, sell-in, 2 holidays)
3DS: 31.09m (26 months, sell-in, 2 holidays)
PS5: 30m (26 months, sell-through, 3 holidays)
edit: PS5 is #6 or #7

Is that 25 months a typo for NSW?? Just wondering if an extra month of data is needed
It's rounded up. 3DS had just under a month it's first quarter while most other consoles had over a month. There's more like 2-4 weeks difference though, depending on the console.
One is sell-in (shipments) the other sell-through (sales to consumers).
I'm skeptical. With this sellthrough it's unlikely they meet their 18m forecast for this FY so I'd rather wait to see what they target for next.
Sony increased their projection at their last quarterly report , saying they expect to exceed the 18 million figure. This is just a straight ramping up now as production just goes to insane levels.
Based on Sonys own statements, they're planning to surpass the PS4 sales curve this upcoming FY, which means they have to produce a bare minimum of 23 million units. We'll see how that 30.5 million figure holds up, but Tom's a reliable leaker.
Without pandemic PS5 could easily be at 40-50M right now. Hype was unbelievable at the start of gen and you still can't really find them in stores consistently.
If they truly ironed out the production issues, should be coasting to 50M by end of the year, and began outpacing PS4.
Hopefully everyone can get one now and cross gen is dead!!! Lol
vivftp yeah, I dunno if they hit 30M in a quarter but demand has definitely never been satisfied since the system launched. We still don't know what a true PS5 sell-in year looks like.

Yeah, what's crazy is that even in places where you can buy it (US, UK) it's still been sold in bundles for $60 (or 60 pounds) more than the standalone systems. I want to see what this thing can sell when it's just the standalone systems with the digital available too
So basically if the Switch had launched a few months earlier, it'd probably be at 2/3?
The DE standalone is available right now.... on PS Direct. 😩

The big change will be when it's readily available somewhere like Amazon without needing to request an invitation.
How's availability these days? I know I can check online but honestly I'm so traumatized by my experience trying to snag one during pandemic and the ensuing months of launch I gave up fully. Well that's a small lie, I tried briefly again during these last winter holiday but no luck.
Depending on where you live (I'm in the US) you can pretty much get a PS5 if you want one. They consistently been in stock on PS Direct. Hell I think the God of War Bundle still is.
Yup…I finally found one for my nephew and had to get an extra controller and GOWR bundle…
Am I a bad person for dreaming about the launch chaos if covid didn't hit? The PS4 launch was amazing.
PS: haven't bought a PS5 yet, I'll wait for TLOU3

And plenty of people laughed at their statement of passing PS4 when they said supply issues were rapidly being fixed.
Absolutely
-PSVR2 launching
-Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will be SIE's biggest 1st party release in history
-GAAS as a service games like Factions possibly launching
-Lastly many big 3rd party games like Final Fantasy 16, Hogwarts, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, RE4 Remake, Street Fighter 6, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will drive units as well.
30m sell-through only means probably like 31-32m sell-in given the current stock situation. That means they need ship 5-6m next quarter, which while not entirely impossible is a crazy high figure for FYQ4 (PS4 never did it) and if there's 1-2m supply already available coming off the holidays...
Is this just Sony being pricks or stores being dumb? cause with stock being more available, I still don't get why stores can't just put em on shelves so you can walk in and buy one.
I think they are still selling out online most places especially when not in a site / store specific bundle. They're just staying in stock for several hours / a day instead of what it was before.
Stock in online stores here in Canada tends to last much longer than it used to. Upwards of days it can stay in stock.
