In the US, PS5 is outpacing PS4 by 7 percent in units, and is already the 3rd best selling console of all time by dollar sale (behind Switch and X360). Makes you think about the numbers it could have achieved if there were no shortages and if hardware costs dropped similarly to previous generations. And GTA6 isn't out yet...

At this point I don't know if the "Digital Edition" (which got a price hike from $400 to $450) is ever dropping permanently to $350, let alone to "$250" lol. Maybe after the PS6 is launched and Sony decides to keep producing PS5's as a cheaper option.

PS5 doing worse compared to PS4 outside the US is obviously related to the more significant price hikes. The general consensus was that it would sell about as good as PS4 in Europe and notably worse in the US.

Unfortunately, I dont think prices are gonna get lower for anything due to the political climate about tariffs and everything.

Just thankful I bought my PS5 before the price hike.

My personal most anticipated are Phantom Blade Zero and The Perceiver. I love how The Hidden Ones looks visually but I'm not a fan of arena fighting games, which it mostly is. Will also try Ananta and NTE since they're f2p.

Lost Soul Aside for me, loving how it looks.

Both Ananta and NTE can turn up great, but as I already play 2 gacha games and can barely keep up with those, I'm unsure to what to do once they release.



I had no idea that Project The Perceiver is being developed by the main studio that made the "Nikki" series! Infinity Nikki apparently had over a thousand people working on it and just came out last month. So it might be a long wait before Perceiver materializes. Oh well... at least Nikki isn't in the way anymore!

We are one week or so away from the 3/4 (October-December) fiscal year report so what are your predictions on sales for Astro Bot and Helldivers? There is a chance for a SpiderMan update but I kind of see that for the 4/4 report and this site already made the work to predict PS5 sales so there is no point in asking that. Mine are:

-Astro Bot: The last report only included Astro release month and it was 1.5 million so I will go 2.5 million with the Holidays and GOT push.
-Helldivers 2: This is a little cheating because we know by mid Novembers Helldivers had 15 million copies sold but at the same time the Illuminate inclusion really pushed the sales of Helldivers on Holiday season so I will go safe. 15.5 - 16 million.



Astro Bot: 2.5 million
Helldivers 2: 15 million
Spider-Man 2: 13.3 million

The previous 15 million figure for Helldivers 2 was playercount, not sales.



It looks like MLB The Show is finally dropping last gen consoles.

And it won't be launching on any subscription services when it releases. It should have a nice boost in unit sales going forward. Potentially it could be a consistent top 10 seller of the year for Sony.

I hate it when sports games (or the ones that come out annually) do that.

I was gonna say I hope WWE 2k25 dropped last gen consoles but looks like 2K is releasing games for PS4/XBO.

I don't really mind that annual sports games are cross gen lol. Most of them are literally the same game with an updated roster.
