For reference, the PlayStation 4 had shipped 3.9 million units in the same quarter for a lifetime total of 47.6 million units shipped as of September 30, 2016. This puts the PS5 behind shipped PS4 units by 1.0 million units. |
First of all congrats to all the folks who predicted that the PS5 would pass the PS4 this November (although we don't even know October numbers yet but lets just play it safe and say 'BY' November). Secondly, how close (or far) are we from Sony's crazy 25 million prediction at this point?
Edit: Its 3.3 Q1 + 4.9 Q2 or 8.2 so far this FY. Meaning they have ship 16.8 million more by March 31, 2024 in order to hit their target. It all hinges on this month and next month. I can't possibly imagine a world where they ship another 6.1 million Q4 like last FY but if they do they would still have to ship 10.7 million units this current quarter. Good luck.
Second Edit. The PS5 is up by 148% YoY for this quarter. If this entire FY is up by that amount over last FY the PS5 will completely destroy its goal and hit 28 million. Either way we could really be looking at the best year for PS5 console sales ever.
