We don't need to derail this thread debating which company get covered fairly/unfairly.

On the actual topic, PS5's starting to show its age, combined with the global economy just generally being a trainwreck. It will be interesting to see how the price hike that came in last month affects the next quarter.

Yes. PS5 dropped as low as 580k in January. That's a lot. Weekly to 130k. That's level when you are about to release the successor, not 2 years prior.

Given the price hike and the lower than expected sales, I would continue this table with the next line being something like 1.50, 2, 7 (mostly because of GTA 6) and then 1.Which would total to 11.50. Maybe it can pull 12M shipments at best. But with the recent price hike, I can't see more than that. In other words 105M by end of March 2027. From there it really depends on a few factors. Will the price get lower after the crisis with the ram is done ? When will this be ? Will the GTA6 lifts the baseline of the PS5 and by how much ? And most importantly, when will the PS6 release.
