Amazing quarter for the PS5 beating expectations which were already high. The PS5 Pro seems to have made a notable difference and after adjustments it sold about the same this year as the PS4's Peak year so its best year beats the PS4's peak and it matches it the following year so after a rough first couple years due to stock issues it's done a really great job closing the gap.

2025 should also be a strong year for it especially if GTA 6 doesn't get delayed though I imagine another notable factor in its very strong holiday performance was people picking one up in preparation for that releasing so most people buying that at launch will already have a PS5 when it releases. It should still do really well this year though and potentially do better than last year so the PS5 is having a strong mid life for sure. With Xbox hardware heavily declining and the recent FH5 announcement likely followed by other big ones in the coming months some Xbox players switching this year could help give a nice boost. Also there's at least a decent chance the PS5 fully closes the gap this year with the PS4 and starts getting a small lead over it the following years so Playstation is in overall a great place for the time being even with the recent live service woes. The 2030's could be trickier but that's some time away.

Took from ResetEta, but this is good news for Sony:

Do you know how this compares to an average quarter?
