Hi Everyone, here is the report for March.
Don't let the numbers fool you, this was a great month for PS5.
1) In the Gap charts, the PS5 is only behind 3DS and NS. It was able to surpass the PS4 and it is looking like it won't stop any time soon.
2) This was the third best march year 1, only behind 3DS and NS that had their launch on March, this makes it the best March for non new releases.
3) It almost beat the 3DS (1.3M) for this month, that tells you how good it was. It is also about 300K more than the DS sold during this month.
4) Next month has a very interesting battle, the Wii has the best first april with 928K units. This means that if the PS5 is able to average 270K units per week, it can beat it. (March saw an average of 244K units).
5) PS4 sold 863K units during that month, so it is a good sign that PS5 might be able to set a new record.
Even though the current Gap with the NS is at -3.2M, this is the time of the year that the PS5 should be able to take control and beat the NS for the next few months. here is what the next months look like for the NS.
It is easier said than done, but any average of around 200K per week will mean that the PS5 should be able to outsell the NS the remaining 7 months of the year. It is going to be a very interesting battle.
How much do you think the PS5 will sell this month? Will it set a new record?
