Sony said they wanted to ship 23m units next fiscal year right? That would be the most a PlayStation system has ever shipped in one year. As long as the chip shortage doesn't have a bad impact on them next year I think their sales are going to be very strong. 18-20m.

Edit: Target for fiscal year ending March 31st 2023 is 22.6m units shipped.

I have a feeling they aren't going to hit this number. Personally, I don't think they are going to hit their 22.6M total PS5 shipped amount by March 2022 either. I think Q4 isn't going to be as high as they wanted it to be. 

But I'd love to be proven wrong! It's not like I have a history of being right on these kinds of things. Heck, I thought Switch would only do 22-25M this year. Look how that turned out? 25M is the floor. 

I think the same, they won't be able to make it to 22.6m by the end of this fiscal year, and next fiscal year will be hit too. Though I don't expect them to fall miles short of their target for next fiscal year. they might not be able to ship 22.6m but I think they can ship more than the 17.7m that PS4 managed in the equivalent fiscal year.

March 2022 is going to be interesting when we get Sony's official forecast after weathering this year and knowing the impact on production.
