>biggest Q3 PlayStation has ever had
>PS5 selling so much that Sony increased already lofty forecast from 18m to 19m
>30% of active PS5 users never owned PS4
>PS sales up 53% YoY (Xbox sales down 13% YoY for comparison)
How the FRICK is the PS5 selling so well? You would think between the rise of PC gaming and Xbox buying up studios that it wouldn't be the case.

this is just pathetic at this point
First post is a seething ESL Xbox troony, right on cue
lmao, SIRS! this is some real Indian shit right here, wooooo Xbox is so fricked kek
that's cool, but does it have games?
Normalgays literally don't care about games, they just want to have the latest Playstation for the sake of having the latest gayming console in their living room.
They might play TLoU2 and nuGoW and that's it.
Yes, multiplats.
>shipped
Yeah...
> Bloating about sales like crazy
Welp, they gave up on stopping Xbox + ActiBlizz, which means it's over.
Sony sisters, how do we recover?
It's selling so well because it's not actually available to purchase for once in like 3 years.
I'm manage to spot Ps5's at Walmart and even a fricking Manards of all things.
>not
Now. I don't even know how I mixed up a fricking T and W.
All Sony needs to do now is find a way to get all their PS4 owners to move to PS5, but that's not going to be easy since all these new games are still going on PS4 these days.
It's always been available, just not for the msrp. In my country I could easily get one for 800 at any point since launch, and it still costs that much from official retailers despite Sony saying that the shortages are over. How much does it cost at Wallmart?
I've never found a Physical store selling it above MSRP. There were Online store selling it above MSRP because they are buying it from scalpers to ship to you. Whoever fell for that shit were complete fricking idiots.
Here in Canada, they're available but only at Best Buy for some reason.
PS5 isn't gaming. Consoles don't count as gaming. Only PC gives the performance required for gaming.
So happy for the investors, but where are the games?
bump
No games? That's a shame.
SMASHED
SLAMMED
Sony is healing.
Whats the catch
Is there gonna be some sort of preachy message
except sony didn't make that nor did any of the devs at SIE
Imagine how many they'd ship if they had some games for it!
There's people here who are on their 3rd decade of trying to convince people that Sony/PS is dead. Some are here with us in this thread right now 🙂
To all PS5 haters:
It's called a PS5 because it has 5 games
ITT: PCück cope
32 million sales after 2 years and an extra holiday period on the market is not impressive. This means that in its first 2 years it sold 25 million, or 12.5 million per year. It better start picking up fast or it's gonna have a tough time reaching 80 million.
Yet they don't call it the fastest selling so they're obviously selling PS5s slower than the PS4. They can hide it by mixing PS4/5 software sales but I bet this gen they end up sub 100million systems sold.
Remember how they had to drop "fastest selling console" after less than a year, losing not just to the Switch but the fricking GBA after 10 months?
It is slightly behind the PS4 only due to supply constraints. But as soon as supply became available it has been selling gangbusters. Reminder that the PS5 was being scalped and sold for $1000, and also got a price *increase* in most regions.
Of course it's selling a lot right now, that's pent up demand from the undersupplying. But they are really gonna struggle to make up the lost momentum long term.
A console typically sells well for about 4 years before it starts tanking, and it's already more than 2 years old. They will likely continue to have supply issues next year after dumping stored up stock for the holidays. You also have to consider that a lot of PS5 "owners" right now are likely scalpers who will eventually dump their unit onto the market whether that be for a profit or not.
All of this leads to the PS5 probably continuing to struggle for the next 2 years, at which point we're so late in its life that sales will start dropping off as consumer interest starts to wane, and attention starts being put on future products like the switch 2. For Sony to have a good generation I think they would to essentially relaunch the PS5 with a new unit replacing the current one and extend the generation to 8 or 9 years.
>but I bet this gen they end up sub 100million systems sold.
Sub 100m is guaranteed at this point. There's no fricking way they hit that with the slow ass start. Even 90m is gonna be hard.
I don't get why people say "no games" unironically. PS5 is basically getting every single relevant game coming out; I bet vast majority of people saying this shit haven't even played a single game in the last six months that didn't release on PS4/PS5. Xbox has literally zero exclusives and everything launches Day1 on PC, Switch has literally zero exclusives since everything can be emulated. PS5 has a half dozen pure exclusives then dozens more that are only on PS4/PS5, and all PS4 games play at higher res and framerate on PS5.
The only real alternative to a PS5 is a PC, which is too expensive or too much hassle for the average player who wants to just have couch plug and play.
When we say "No Games" we mean "No *First Party* Games", because all they have are the same movie games reskinned.
morons here always forget that
>normals do not have a PC and do not want a PC. If they have a computer, it's a MacBook and not for gaming.
>normals DO care a lot about muh specs and graphics quality, and the fact that PS5 releases may also be on PS4 is irrelevant.
>normals do not give a shit about whether something is exclusive or not. All that matters is "can it play GTA, CoD, and Sportsball?" and "is it the one all my friends are getting?"
This is why PlayStation will basically be de facto successful until they massively frick something up.
Wow moron virgins with no sense of the market or world don’t know? Color me surprised
It had no games.
It's tracking 5 million or 25% below the switch so far, and it's definitely not getting the late covid surge the switch got. I'd expect 70-80m lifetime depending on how aggressively they're willing to drop the price.
>PS5 is SMASHING sales records
>losing PS+ subscriptions
>software selling less while sonsoles are selling more
I wouldn't even be surprised if the 30% that didn't own a PS4 were the stored scalped units
>I wouldn't even be surprised if the 30% that didn't own a PS4 were the stored scalped units
I doubt that scalpers even open the boxes. Sony just checks for new accounts
>Still lumping PS4 and PS5 game sales together
hmmmm
HMMMMMMMMMMM
Only 32? PS4 did better.
will there be a pro varient of the ps5 this generation?
I wanna plays games at native 4k and a solid 60fps.
so far that hasn't been really possible on the AAA games this gen...
>Epic court documents say next gen planned for 2028 with no mention of Pro's
>Pro's only done last gen because base consoles were fricking jokes devs were maxing out from day 1
>Microsoft saying Series S only exists because tech isn't getting cheap/advancing fast anymore.
Most likely no.
There's 4k60 with DSR right now
it's a giant piece of shit so that's not really a good thing
Where are the games?
>shipped
Sony just can't help themselves
Yeah bro, I'm sure ps5's are gonna collect dust on shelves lol
>ps5's
>buying a console with negative exclusives
I used to mock people for buying Xboxes and now it's clearly the superior console.
Hello xir!
The switch 2 is gonna fricking crush this thing, when it comes out with a big new Mario and can actually run third party games in decent quality this time.
I just hope to god that the Switch 2 is BC with free performance patches.
The switch released march 2017
Quarter 3
(ending Dec 31, 2019)
52.48 million sales
God xlosers just can’t catch a break
Wtf is the point? It just has PS4 ports on it
"EXCLUSIVE"
There's only 5 actually released exclusives on that list, and one of them is a remake and another is a dead multiplayer game.
No one want to risk being exclusive on snoy console.
Good luck arguing against the acquisition now
SMASHING BABY, YEAH! Shagadelic
>>30% of active PS5 users never owned PS4
People get tired of bing bing wahoo ports, emulated snes roms and indieshit
People get tired of unoptimized trash that requires you a 1k$gpu to run
By their own numbers, the number of subscribers have gone down and software sales are worse than they were last year.
What do they play?
CoD (losing to Microsoft in like 4 years), Fifa, Fortnite, Fall Guys
Current gen multiplats and their old PS4 games.
I literally just got home from the store with mine. Wish me luck bros
BEATEN
EVERY
MONTH
Holy shit, imagine being a Snoy, three YEARS into the console generation, and STILL getting consistently beaten out by a FIVE YEAR OLD TABLET. Just switch to PC already, you people are done.
>30% of active PS5 users never owned PS4
so that means tons of ps4 users didnt buy the next iteration?
I dont think this is the brag you seem to think it is.
>>30% of active PS5 users never owned PS4
That's very bad lol, the PS4 sold a lot more units than the PS5. tt would only make sense boasting this percentage if the PS5 sold more units than the PS4.
I am a PS4 user who will pass on the PS5 and like me there are many others.
What the frick else are people gonna buy?
-Xbox is for fatties
- nitendo is for trannies and cucks
-pc is the only option but its so god damn expensive I would rather get a ps5.
>PS5 selling so much that Sony increased already lofty forecast from 18m to 19m
Nintendo have increased the SIX YEAR OLD Switch forecast to 20 million.
Disaster for Sony lmao
