Sure the sold out low volume of PS5 in Japan tell the whole story, then Series X bombed, right?

Of course not. The point is that saying "We sold everything." doesn't actually tell us anything without knowing how much 'everything' actually is.

Totally agree, and will wait for numbers (and the pace of sales until the end of the year) before making any conclusion.

Of course the XSX|S bombed in Japan. How can that even be up for discussion.

It sold out and close to previous systems, so I wouldn't say it bombed. It done as expected

Guess the question is how many did they produce and manage to ship out n time or launch?

Whatever it was, it wasn't near enough.

Either too cheap or too little production.

PS2  - @- We must build a console that offers online living room gaming.

PS3   - #- We must build a console that’s powerful, social, costs and does everything.

PS4   - $- We must build a console that’s affordable, charges for services, and pumps out exclusives.

PRO  -%-We must build a console that's VR ready, checkerboard upscales, and sells but a fraction of the money printer.

PS5   - ^ -We must build a console that’s a generational cross product, with RT lighting, and price hiking.

PRO  -&- We must build a console that Super Res upscales and continues the cost increases.

I think Sony has been announcing sold through instead of shipped for some time. I’m more interested in the launch windows of those games. Congrats.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I mean series X also sold out, though they barely stocked the thing.
