Absurd PS5 sales. The gap between PS5 and PS4 launch aligned has already dropped by 2.4m with the first 3 months of the year. If the PS5 managed to average 1.3m sales a month from now on it would pass PS4 by the end of August.

After 3 months PS5 this year has sold 1.3m more than the PS4 sold in it's peak year.

A 38% drop for a console in a year it should be healthily growing towards a peak year is painful. Xbox Series has sold 0.5m less so far than it had last year.

J believe it was reported that the PS5 has passed aligned sales of PS4 already in NA (according to the Artist formally known as NPD).  It has also done so in Japan.  Sony's FY end reports will be very interesting for sure.

PS5 is ahead of PS4 in the Americas and Japan. But it is still behind by a decent amount in Europe. When there were the shortages Sony put far more focus on shipping PS5s to the US then Europe.
