Forums - Sales Discussion - Global Hardware May 30-June 5 - PS5 Sales Top 9 Million

10M next month?



Around the Network

@Intrinsic Seems likely! Wonder if they can squeak by this month, assuming stock is there.



Sony’s struggle to provide enough PS5 stock is noticeable in this week’s chart compared to the week before.



How long did it take the PS4 to reach 10M..think it hit that by like August? or was it September?



How long until Switch reaches 90 million?



Around the Network

I'm not sure if Mario Golf will budge the Switch numbers. I was hoping at this past June Direct that they would feature a game that highlighted a fresh experience for 2021 that would pump sales up for the next two years, but there's nothing... yet Switch continues to kill it on its outstanding catalogue, still up year over year. The lack of a price drop speaks volumes to Nintendo's confidence this year.

I suppose the obvious feature would be fitness - Ring Fit Adventure was a more than successful trial - but those become more obvious titles in the late autumn/early winter when people are seeking some kind of new indoor fitness thing. It just seems like such an obvious avenue for Nintendo - they could release a new type of fitness game every year or two and people will always demand it because, like the majority of recreational activities, they're always going to want something new when they get bored of the old ones... except if it's Mario Kart 8 Deluxe :D



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Switch is under 400k again, but still selling like hotcakes. Japan in particular is a factor because Switch is so dominant there. The weekly gap between Switch and PS5 seems to be narrowing in Europe, but is still large in North America.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 151 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 57 million (was 60 million, then 67 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Would be nice if Ratchet & Clank could give a hardware boost, provided the stock is there lol

Hardware looks like the only thing capable of giving this consoles a hardware boost at this point.

Good to see all selling well.
