Seems like a really good estimation. PS5 at 90 million. 2 million shy of PS4 with its biggest some of its biggest games coming this year. And Sony seems insulated from the memory price crunch which is their dumb luck but it won't last forever.

As far as catching the PS4, I think that happens this calendar year, and then we can revisit of total lifetime sales predictions.

Take me up to speed. Why and how Sony is insulated from that memory price crunch ? I must've missed all of this. I know they had some stock pile, or so I read.

I almost forgot in the last reply....

But apparently Sony's CFO recently commented on this and confirmed "the minimum quantity necessary to manage the year end selling season of the next fiscal year". 

Basically the rumor that MLIS claimed (about sony having a years worth of ram supply bought cheap), was backed up by the CFO.


March 2026-March 2027.

Sony have a "prediction" of how many PS5's they plan/think they can sell, until March 2027....... and have enough ram (the main issue, but really all components) on hand/access too, to last them until then.


They got it (either in a stockpile somewhere, or on contract to be made to them, at a low price.)
