I don't know about Sony being able to manufacture that many PS5s, but even if they could, I don't think they could sell that many in a year.

I know that PS5 demand is incredibly high right now and I believe that will push the console to strong sales for several years, but 30m a year is reserved for things like the DS peak - something that is in high demand and in the impulse-buy price range.  Even the Switch at $299 didn't quite reach that with the Animal Crossing/Pandemic combo.

Originally, I said that I could see the PS5 doing 25m max for one of its fiscal years, which would already be over 2m more than the PS2 peak, and I'm sticking to that.  I think Sony would have to go a different route for Playstation (different type of business model/more affordable) - something that would appeal a lot more to Japan, for example - to possibly reach a 30m shipment year for PS... and clearly, that type of system is not what they're interested in making.
