18M for next year is a pretty solid year. They finally got this quarter behind them and more stock should be on the way. Onwards and upwards in the chartz!
So Sony expecting to nearly double the amount of PS5s out in the wild in the course of a year?
Bring it on!

It's funny how there's always someone who doesn't get the shipped and sold distinction. Also hopefully they are able to ship 18m or close to it since after a slow quarter things picking up would be great to see.

It happens ALL the time...for mainly PlayStation of all platforms. No one seems to care about the gap between shipped vs sold when it comes to Nintendo. Even with PS5 being sold out it can take several weeks for consoles to ship from the manufacture to retailers. So there is the gap. |
I guess saying that is easier than just admit this is all speculation and no need to figure out when or where the errors occurred. Since theres almost no more reliable data anymore and your guesses where only based on how many Sony projected to sell.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

My guess is the Switch is doing so amazingly well that hardcore Nintendo fans don't feel a need to make a fuss about it. It might happen less often with the PS5 once its sales pick up.

PS5 Ships 19.3 Million Units as of March 2022, 70.5 Million PlayStation Games SoldSony Interactive Entertainment in its financial results announced it has shipped 19.3 million PlayStation 5 consoles as of March 31, 2022. With 19.3 million PlayStation 5 consoles shipped through the end of March 2022 that means 2 million units were shipped from January to March. This is down from 3.3 million for the same quarter a year ago. Demand for the console remains well above what Sony is able to supply. For reference, the PlayStation 4 had shipped 2.3 million units in the same quarter for a lifetime total of 22.4 million units shipped as of March 31, 2015. This puts the PS5 behind shipped PS4 units by 3.1 million units. Sony shipped 0.1 million PlayStation 4 consoles for the quarter, which is down from 1.0 million for the same quarter a year ago. Lifetime PlayStation 4 shipments are currently at 117.0 million units.
There were a total of 70.5 million games sold on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 for the quarter. This is up 9.1 million from 61.4 million during the same period a year earlier. Digital sales accounted for 71 percent of software sales. There were 14.5 million first-party games sold across the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. This is up 6.6 million from 7.9 million first-party games sold a year ago. The number of PlayStation Plus subscribers is now at 47.4 million, which is down 0.2 million from 47.6 million from the same quarter a year ago. There were 106 million monthly active users, a drop from 106 million a year ago. Sony's Game & Network Services Segment for the quarter ending March 31, 2021, reported revenue increase 0.8 percent year-over-year to 666.5 billion yen ($5.11 billion), while operating income increased 175.4 percent to 87.3 billion yen ($0.67 billion). Sony's Game & Network Services Segment for the 2021 fiscal year, reported revenue increase 3.0 percent year-over-year to 2,739.8 billion yen ($21.01 billion), while operating income increased 1.3 percent to 346.1 billion yen ($1.65 billion). The forecast for the 2021 fiscal year expects revenue to increase percent to 3,660 billion yen ($28.07 billion, while operation income will decrease to 305 billion yen ($2.34 billion). Sony expects an increase in revenue of hardware, peripheral devices, and non-first-party titles including add-on content, which will be impacted by foreign exchange rates. Sony expects to ship 11.5 million PS5 consoles for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. This would put expected PS5 shipment numbers at 2 million for the quarter ending March 31. |
Bold area... Doesn't look like much of a drop.
18m seems a bit optimistic to me considering the shortages and the recent lockdowns in China. Hopefully they can hit this target. Sony seems really optimistic for the upcoming FY.
They're forecasting only 11.5 million consoles shipped?? This chip shortage blows
It seems like something disrupted Sony's supply line last year. Consider:
- The PS5 was outselling the PS4 launch aligned until June 2021 (won Sept NPD)
- Sony states they secured enough components to meet their 14.8M projection for FY21
- Sony revises their projection to 11.5M shipped for FY21
- Supply drastically improves at the start of FY22

11.5M is the amount of PS5's they sold from April 2021 to March 2022.
Currently Sony is forecasting 18M PS5's shipped from April 2022 to March 2023.
