How do we know that PS5 sales have dropped significantly? I can't tell from Matt's thread.

1) yes 2) no, and not particularly close.

Mat was asked if the PS5 set a new record for PlayStation for April and he replied "no, and not particularly close." While in March the PS5 set a new PlayStation record. Plus PS5 sales dropped 35% in the UK in April compared to March.
