I remember last year March had plenty of PS5 stock so I expect the same for this year but will it be enough to hit their forecast will be interesting.

I'm shocked there's no Sony is doomed thread yet (aside of the Patcher one).

But stock has been pretty bad here in Australia for the PS5, only one batch in the entire year at EB Games, whilst Series X has had like 2-3 with them and Series S is available everywhere.

Don't know the plans for FY22, but if numbers remain low, they will lost a big opportunity.

Jeez it just keeps getting worse for the PS5 lately. Hopefully by the 2nd half of the year things are looking decent again.

Cause the PS5 isn't doomed. Its not even selling that poorly and the shortage is limiting it even further. 

People will just start buying Xbox series at this point and move on from waiting for a PS5. They must be having a really bad mood at playstations headquarters right now yikes. At a time where they launch Horizon, one of their flagship for the year but they can't even really capitalize on it to sell hardware and ER which would have literally been a system seller as well. A damn shame but also, Microsoft's chance to really turn things around this gen. Their acquisitions will start to show in 2-3 years so if they are close to PS5 numbers, at that point they will also be equals in terms of games output.

Anywayz, Switch is killing it.

This is indeed the worst possible situation for Sony. They could have had a clear lead by now with sufficient stock and then keep riding that wave. But considering shortages are likely to continue for a long time, Microsoft will have the time to finally let their acquisitions pay off and Xbox exclusives should start dropping hard and fast relatively soon.

Could Russia-Ukraine be impacting supply? I imagine many component minerals are mined in Russia.

Im really impressed by Series X/S sales. Its really impressive, such a great comeback.
I just wonder how figures would be if there was absolutely NO shortage whatsoever.
Anyway, great job from Microsoft.

Looks like several people are surprised by PS5's performance this month. Personally, this is what I expect. Switch > X|S > PS5. That is a normal month for this year. I think January was the upset. Switch had shipment issues continuing into January, while Sony sent more supply to North America. I was really surprised by January's results. February feels normal to me, especially in light of chip shortages.

Wonder how many people who cant find the Series X opted for the Series S. MS would probably have more hardware revenue without shortages but I don't know if sales would be much more tbh.
