We have done adjustments in both directions for all platforms. We had overestimated PS5 last holiday season by nearly a million. While recently we underestimated sales. We do the best we can with the data we have available to us. 

That was an outlier though. We overestimated PS5 during that period due to outpacing PS4 all year and us underestimating the severe shortages that Sony (and Bloomberg before them) warned us about, having considerably revised down their forecast.

Edit: My memory is hazy but I remember feeling we overtracked PS5 by a good margin quite a while before adjustments. Did we also have PS5 overtracked for Q1 calendar year? I can't remember the flow of information.
