I am quite the pessimist and feel sony squandered their chance to sell a lot of ps5s in the past few weeks. This week I think around 84k is the amount for Ps5, and in the coming weeks the average will be around 60k.

The way I see it, those who missed out or held out for the last few weeks will still get one once stock comes back in, so those sales weren't lost but just postponed.

Yes week 40 was the last stable week at about 40k and then sales dropped, so the  84k + 60k average will steadily make up for it. But I feel sony would have had a holiday boost anyway. Basically the 84k only makes up for 1 week while I think if they kept stock they could have sold 40k per week. A net increase of about 120k sales by this point. So the 60k per week won't pay off for some time.
