Your "data conclusion" is that the PS5 will sell like the PS4 because it has PlayStation in its name. |
Nah, thats just your incorrect interpretation - PS5 will be getting the same games/franchises as PS4.
- PS5 is not loosing the AAA gaming side to any competitor for Japanese players or publishers
- PS4 sold roughly the same hardware and software as PS3. The userbase has stabilised.
Meanwhile your conclusion is nothing but wishful thinking continually based on incomplete or sometimes outright incorrect data. Mnementh said:
Meanwhile back in reality: PS4 != PS5 I am sure if you pull a similar TOP 10 for PS4 first year, it looks much better than these pitiful numbers for PS5. VGC at least has 2015 Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain at >400K. Not 72K for the best-selling title. |
Meanwhile back in reality, we have total software sales for PS4 and now PS5. Try again with the full numbers next time Kneetos said:
In what reality is japan the number 2/3 region for playstation 5 shipments? The ps5 sold an estimated 540k sales worldwide and less then 10k sales came from Japan?

Planet Earth. Where Japan got 1 million shipments faster than any other country bar US. Sogreblute said:
His own post has a few flaws. He says that PS5 software is not too far from PS4 yet he points out 0.5 - 0.75 mil PS5 physical software has been sold. And at the same time says PS4 physical in 2014 was 2.2 mil. I know he's comparing it to his made up 1-1.5 mil software number where he's guessing digital sales, and doesn't do the same for PS4. Also, the PS4 launched in late Feb. 2014 so throughout 2014 you have 10 months of software sales, so if you want a full year you'll need to include the PS4's Jan. and Feb. 2015 numbers. Also, he says we don't include PS4 sales to PS5 owners. Well if that's true then where's the PS4 software in these charts? Four times this year no PS game made the top 30 and there were a few times where only 1 PS game was in the top 30. The writing is on the wall. The evidence is in front of him and he still denies it. |
LMAO PS4 sold 4-5M software in 2021. https://f.irbank.net/pdf/20211224/140120211222559167.pdf You guys are still sticking your head in the sand unable to face the reality of market data. Why are you still using top 10,20,30,100 when we have the entire software totals? |
Dude, do you realize that link you shared literally proves that Playstation is declining in Japan? You are providing proof for us why we are right. Like, the chart is RIGHT THERE!
2019: nearly 10 mil software sold (PS4 +PS Vita)
2020: around 7.5 mil software sold (PS4 + PS5)
2021: around 4.5 mil software sold (PS4 + PS5)
To top it all off this is coming from a Falcom presentation, where they say they Playstation has been declining and is one of the reasons their game sales have declined. They are like the "anti-Nintendo" and "pro-Playstation" company, and yet they are now doing inhouse Switch development. If the president of Falcom is saying this then you know it's bad.
