I really didn't expect it to be up YoY again and match the PS4 so this is a surprisingly great quarter. I don't think it'll match the last holiday but it'll for sure be notably closer to the 18.5m of the last fiscal year than most were expecting. Perhaps Xbox console sales becoming irrelevant is starting to really help the PS5 and that'll be even more the case going forward with another price increase and Halo coming to Playstation so that combined with a strong 2026 line-up means the PS5 could very well have a better last stretch than the PS4 did.
As a result a late 2028 release for the PS6 looks like it'll be no issue at all if that is what Sony would prefer, the PS5 would last till them just fine. Even if it's 2027 though the odds the PS5 sells more than the PS4 are looking a fair amount better than they did earlier this year. Also this could easily just be a coincidence but with such a big adjustment while the Switch 2 was basically spot-on I wonder if the PS5 is harder to track right now for whatever reason.
