Actually, if they are tracking ahead of the DS so far this year, then that is a very good sign. If they produced that much before, then they can produce it again. They might actually break the all time annual sales record set by the DS. It's definitely in the running, but at this point I think it will come down to what kind of a holiday line-up they have for games.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6
