If it's for obvious reasons, let us know.
My prediction in 2023.
SW: 27m
PS5: 24m
XBS: 12m

Well, yeah that figure is a transition regarding the weight of imports.
And God of War was released on November 9.
Even if SONY is prioritizing the US, as long as production numbers are increasing |
We know that PS5 had a poor November in EU/UK vs a strong one in the US. So we can't extrapolate global PS5 sales from US shipments. It's still an increase in Europe compared to last year but not nearly as much as in the US. December will be different because Sony is confident in meeting their FY 2022 forecast, which means Europe and the rest of the world will have to assist the US in getting PS5 to make up for the poor start and reach that 18+ million units shipped.
Short term legs for GoW Ragnarok will be very strong so they're not losing much by not shipping enough units globally in November. The actual December numbers will probably surprise us.
Global sales numbers will increase when December is accounted for. 2022 started awful compared to 2021 for PS5, so it took a while before it caught up. But it's certainly possible that it did a few weeks quicker than our estimates show.

He's referring to the shortage, the closeness in Europe is artificial. If Xbox can't keep up with PS5 in the US, it'd likely get obliterated in Europe in a scenario where production isn't hard capped. And right now, Xbox is definitely struggling in the US as far as I'm concerned. It's being comfortably outperformed by a much more expensive console with hard and soft bundled increasing its price even further.

All your points stands on its own I would say. Would just add that it is very likely that the Dec to Jan drop will be much lower than normal since they most likely weren't able to fully meet demand and keep sending steady products (that is if they want to meet their target).

Yeah I think Sony's going to have a huge Q1 and proceed to break several records in the rest of the year. More records will be broken in 2024, the year of GTA6. What I would do is pay Take Two a crapload for a complete GTA6 VR integration.
