The article states the PS5 launch far exceeded PS4 launch sales which were in the ballpark of 250k.

Sounds like a 350k - 400k opening.

it's still a possibility, we'll see

That would mean more than half of the PS5 consoles were sold in the UK alone. Not sure about that.

PS5 was the No.1 best-selling games console in the UK during November, in a month that saw almost 900,000 consoles sold. It was the second biggest month for console revenue, just behind December 2013

PS5 is prob near 350k.

PS5 has destroyed the prior record, PS4, by nearly 100k. Also more than 2 times the Xbox launch sales.
