What were the September 2021 numbers compared to September 2022? I'm curious how they figure a 400% increase shipped YoY while unit sales are down 16% YoY.

VGC estimates for PS5 worldwide:

Sep 2022: 1,218,722

Sep 2021: 1,039,383

The 400% increase is for the weight in shipment to the US and includes more than just PS5 consoles. Though, it would take a lot of physical copies of a game to equal one PS5. I would think some of the extra consoles are being held back for God of War Ragnarök and the holidays to help build up supply.
