The ps4s peak year was 20% lower then the 25 million the ps5 is aiming for and the ps5 is already behind the ps4s peak year so it has a lot to make up to reach that figure. Where I'm from the ps5 has an €80 price cut and has never been easier to find. I'm not saying it's impossible or anything but that is a very difficult figure to reach for almost any console.

I don't think the PS5 being behind the PS4 by 200K in this quarter is a lot to make up for. I would be more concerned if the PS5 matched the PS4 in price but still lagged behind, couldn't close the gap, and couldn't overtake it.

But it doesn't just have to make up for the 200k it also has to be over 25% higher than the ps4 to reach 25million. 

I'm not saying it won't do it, I'm saying it will be very difficult to do.
