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.

Oh yeah. Both Nintendo and ps5 aren’t getting anywhere near their sales targets based on q1. I was surprised to see all the positivity around the quarterly numbers to be honest. 
I think the consensus was nintendos number of 13.5 m seemed pretty hard to achieve.  But consensus was ps5s 18m seemed feasible, maybe even beatable  that’s way out the window now  

ps5 will be lucky to get to 15 based on q1 of 2.4.  Consensus is Nintendo will be lucky to get to 11m based on 2.1 q1. 

hopefully ps pro, and Nintendo price cuts inject some life into the video game scene. 

im looking forward to astrobot and the Zelda and that’s about it for the year. 

ps5 controller is literally the best ever made for any console by a country mile. Shame to not have more reason to use it. Love how astrobot incorporates all the Sony tech into the game.
