| ShadowLink93 said: Hardware sales are down 0.9 million year over year for the quarter. PS5 Versus PS4 For the 1st quarter of the 4th full fiscal year (orange) the 2.4 million the PS5 shipped is 0.9 million down on PS4's 3.3 million and after 15 quarters the PS5 totals 61.7 million compared to 63.5 million for the PS4. This means launch aligned the PS5 is 1.8 million behind PS4.   |
Looking at this chart I realized that the PS4 fell off hard after the PS5 released. Even the PS3 didn't fall off as hard when the PS4 released. I wonder if that has to do with the PS5 being released or the PS4 reached it's maximum customer base.
We all know this is where the PS5 will start it's decline. If things continue then at the end of the fiscal year I think the PS5 will be 4 million behind the PS4 (being at 75,200,000 units). Which means that I do predict Sony will not reach their 18 million target.
