Yeah I agree. I don't think they are going to get anywhere close to 18m. Not only are they going to have some problems with chip shortages still, but I don't think PS5 is going to be terribly popular outside of Europe. I live in the US, and I haven't encountered anyone with a PS5 or even someone who wants a PS5. I have a daughter and a lot of nieces and nephews. My daughter and her friends and my nieces just care about Switch. My nephews like XBox, Switch and PC. None of them are interested in PS5.
I think if shortages do ease up, Sony will find that the main region that wants PS5 is Europe.
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
