Zero PS5 for UK until end of May. Because of that stuck ship, EU have had and continuing zero stock.

You can track Sony's Lading/Container Nos ?


Great results for PS5. You have to wonder how high it would have been without all the production issues.
Signature goes here!

Something tells me that even if they doubled their production rate (say ~3m pr month),
it would still be a while before production was higher than demand.

Physical games: 5% And this is for revenue. Profits will obviously be even higher then for digital. |
Wow. This is further proof that digital is on its way to total dominance. Add on Content is where the $ is, which some may feel sucks but clearly many are showing their approval with their wallets.

Makes you wonder just how useful Famitsu can be in the future when it comes to Software. NPD already switched to tracking physical+digital for most publishers.
This gen is going to be pretty much a copy and paste of last gen between playstation and xbox. Makes sense now why MS is focusing too much on gamepass.

It is terrifying that MTX, DLC and the like is bigger than total sold SW, with it being about 7x the physical copies. Well even Subs (which is massive) is almost 3x the size of physical sales and well it adds almost as much as half the total sales of games itself. So if you were really considering only 1st party games PS+ makes more revenue (and likely profit) than the entirety of their Studios (will probably be the same for MS with GP very soon).

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."
There were more than 300 million PS4 games sold in calendar year 2020.
Those are huge numbers.
PS4 Software would be close to 1.8 Billions.
Like Daniel Ahmad said, PS4 sold less than PS2 in terms of hardware, but in terms of software that’s a completely different story.

I'd like to make sure our estimates are as accurate as possible. I'm just happy we weren't that far off. With PS5 now 200,000 ahead of PS4 that should hopefully give us a decent idea for the April to June quarter. |
When the shipment is about 200k difference, and the selling traking is about the same difference, with the average weekly sales making system on shelves close to 3 weeks amount whatever divergence from real numbers is likely irrelevant. So yes good work, the hard work is fine tunning that per territory as those date isn't really available to compare in many cases.
