So weirdly enough in a year where the PS5 aims to ship a ludicrous amount, the Switch which has 10M less in forecasted sales surpasses it in shipment during the 1st quarter ... Bruh, this isn't a good look for the PS5 early on. Not saying they won't catch up in Q2 and Q3 but the fact they necessited price cuts and promotions in non-holiday times to sell through stocks while there's a rumored new slim SKU coming at a reduced price tells me, they changed their hardware profitability strategy they had early on.
Kinda makes the following fiscal results even more exciting to see now because nothing seem to be set in stone now.
Welp, appart from the XSeries just steadily declining |
Do you expect the Switch to outsell the PlayStation 5 for the remainder of the year? |
No, simply put. I don't think both companies will reach the estimates they sought for at the beginning of April.
And as debated right now, the PS5 has quite the uphill battle in the next two quarters of it wants to reach the milestone they set themselves for. Whislt Nintendo first forecasted seemed quite conservative to their Q1 performance. They could actually manage to go higher if the Mario effect is quite strong during this holiday.
