Supply constraints are coming to an end so at the end of 2023 they should be well into the 50s if not over 60. I think 100M is seriously lowballing it and I’m betting on 120M something for the moment. I was expecting a stronger Xbox this gen to have more effect on PS sales but that doesn’t really seem to be happening. But I still think Xbox will rival 360 numbers so I instead expect a significant growth of the HD console market this gen. |
There is absolutely no way that the PS5 makes up such a deficit in their numbers that they sell 35M or more consoles in 15 months. 60M by the end of 2023 is not going to happen.
Also, you can't ship everything you produce instantly. Even if 6.5M PS5s are produced this quarter like last quarter, it's doubtful they would be able to ship all of those that same quarter. Yes, production is ramping up, but this last quarter was still 700k less than what the PS4 was able to ship in the same timeframe. You don't go from 700k less shipped to 1.1-1.6M over (PS4 sold 8.4M this quarter in 2015).
