None of them release quarter reports that soon after the quarter ends. Never have. It takes time to compile all that data, prepare for public release, submit SEC filings and arrange earnings calls. 

Since Covid, Nintendo has pushed back the release by just 1 week extra on average. 



To the privileged, equality feels like oppression. 

I've yet to see one in a store, or even in stock online around here. Still waiting for that Pro before I jump in.

It's in stock on Amazon Germany bundled with Ratchet and Clank for 900€ right now.

I saw a few in my local GameStop at closing yesterday.

Damn those box are massive !!! It has to be a headache to ship a sizeable batch in a retail store.



I was hoping for a sales update on software like the Last of Us part 1 remake. The list on the report is odd, only lists 12 games and has low incorrect numbers like 4 million for Last of Us part 2 when that is over 10 million, still lists 1.1 million for Ratchet and Clank RA which was it sold in it's first month.

So PS4 figures not disclosed yet ?

Sony is no longer reporting PS4 shipments as of Q1 2022. They announced this.

Sony Produced Over 6.5 Million PS5 Consoles Last Quarter, Aims to Beat 18 Million Forecast

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced it produced over 6.5 million PlayStation 5 consoles during its quarter 2 of fiscal year 2022, which ended September 30, 2022.

There were 3.3 million PS5 consoles shipped during the quarter to bring lifetime PS5 shipments to 25 million units. That would leave at least 3.2 million PS5 consoles stockpiled by Sony to have ready for the holiday season, as well as for the launch of God of War Ragnarök on November 9.

"Regarding production of PS5 hardware, restrictions on the supply of materials and logistics have significantly eased, and the number of units produced during the quarter exceeded 6.5 million, progressing faster than planned," said Sony.

"We recognize that demand from customers for the PS5 continues to be strong as the actual sales situation at retail stores in the U.S. is such that, in September, it took an average of 17.5 hours to sell out of 100 thousand units after their arrival.

"To meet this strong demand, we will do our utmost to bring forward supply into the year-end holiday selling season and aim to exceed our FY22 forecast of 18 million units."
