According to ZHuge, PS5 pre - orders in the first 12 hours were greater than PS4 pre - orders in the first 12 weeks, at least in NA. The social media metrics have shattered all kinds of records, not just from Playstation related content, but video game content in general.
The PS brand is bigger than ever. Sony is setting up the PS5 as a premium experience with a next gen controller, overhauled UI, tech like the SSD & 3D audio, emphasizing the sensory experiences, boasting a strong first party portfolio, with a very attractive price point of $399. This isn't even considering RoTW markets where Sony is expanding the console market (at least for them).
I'd be surprised if the PS5 didn't outsell the PS4 lifetime.
