The hardware sales was expected but im surprised the low sales on the software side. Im guessing more people owns the digital PS5 version. Which means that in future years sales posted on Famitsu for PS5 games will be a lot lower compared to PS4.

Pocky Lover Boy!

Item	Average	Actual	Accuracy
PS5 hardware	110,917	118,085	93.54%
Xbox Series hardware	24,375	20,534	84.24%

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5)	36,625	18,640	50.89%

Hints were correct so we were close to the hardware results. Software is pretty much half of what we expected.

Damn I expected modest software sales but that's well below where I thought it would be. On to waiting for tomorrow for the full numbers I cut back my number for Sakuna due to expected stock problems but from what we have heard I may still have overshot on that one also.

Why are you telling me this?

telling for all

Dreadful sales, because the focus on western markets.

One year and we know the real potential of PS5.

The argument that it is about hardware shortages can be true or not but those software sales are abysmal. How does anyone explain that.

Sonys focus on other markets did not came out of nowhere. It happened because of the horrible performance of PS4 in Japan.

So even if they had more PS5 in stock the sales in Japan would probably be dreadful.

Well one thing this shows is that, aside from the PS2, first week sales do not correlate to lifetime sales. So disappointing first week sales for PS5 is not necessarily a bad sign for the future.

The poor launch of the PS3 was clearly deserved.
