It's crazy, but maybe Sony will surpass the PS4's launch-aligned sales next quarter.Year over year quarter 2 hardware shipments are 0.1million up from 3.8 million.
Platstation 5 Versus Playstation 4
For the 2nd quarter of the fifth full fiscal year (purple) the 3.9 million the PS5 shipped matches the PS4's 3.9 million. After 20 quarters the PS5 totals 84.2 million compared to 86.3 million for the PS4. This means launch aligned the PS5 is 2.1 million behind the PS4.
The decline in sales when a generation matures is not theoretical but a proven trend in every generation. To extrapolate last years results at the end of the generation to predict this year's is not accurate in any generation post PS2.
They are actually up for both quarters (by the same 0.1m) those go to FY
Looking at PS4 and PS5 comparisions...i really can't imagine PS5 not surpassing PS4 next year (launch aligned). Unless GTAVI is again delayed.The PS5 has now surpassed GBA and PSP to become the tenth best selling console ever, it will easily overtake the X360 and PS3 after next quarter.
These slides will probably make a lot of people happy. AAA focus, their focus on their ecosystem (ano no PC in sight...for some reason that seems to make people happy), etc.
Speaking of which...is this the 2nd quarter that PC is suspicially absent? Like...i see it nowhere or am i missing something?

(*) with collapsing Wii numbers. 6th year of that generation is down YoY and they were competing with buying a GameCube in 2010. Completely the opposite scenario of what is happening this year. Except for what

said, in which case you both have a point there. We agree to disagree. Well see in January…

Where I can see the full slide presentation? I can't found it.

People just need to be honest and say they prefer playing as a male character. The debate over wokeness isn't applicable for Yotei.
Not to get into politics (and mods you can delete this if you want), but it's looking like America/Chinese tariffs will be going down or be back to 2024 levels depending on the Supreme Court. I can definitely see a big price adjustment next year.
I say like always- it all depends on game's budget, we know GoY had well under 100m usd budget just like GoT so those 3,3m sales at 70usd(no need to take out 30% cut coz sony is platform holder altho ofc probably around half of them were physical so out of 70$ sony got 45$ from physical copies or so).
- Ghost of Yotei has sold-through 3.3 million units as of November 2, 2025 (32 days after release).
What should I make out from this?
This
Or this?
I'm afraid to ask what is amazing by your standarts then? It was a terrific quarter both for gaming and Sony in general.
Then sorry for being agresssive. It is 27th hour of my shift and I'm not thinking properly, especially in English.
I hope that is the case, but PS5 raised prices this year and the PS5 is somehow selling slightly better than last year
Yups, personally not a huge fan of female protag or how she manhandles much bigger/more muscular men from her with 2handed katana, but lets separate feels from what is real- game is definitely profitable aleady and solid(not crazy amazing like GoT but still very solid) comercial success.
November 16 - GTAVI
Those 2 things cant happen simulatanously, either wolverine gonna be moved to jan/feb/march 2027 with very late delay annoucment(sony will wait probably till late sept/early oct to make sure of gta6 launch date) or simply mid 2026 we gonna get 3rd(or maybe by then 4th) trailer. this time with 2027 delay announcent for gta6.
PS5 install base is 0.75% of what PS4 was when Tsushima launched and no Pandemic boost.
Also Congratulations to us Shareholders!love the smell of fresh Ls in the morning
My have asleep brain read this as "This quote is from me. AKA Mat Piscatella" and I almost yelled out "knew it!"
Yep, this seems like a doable target IMO. The CFO mentioned they consider the PS5 to be at the midpoint of its lifecycle, so they'll probably keep producing new units until around 2030, which would be a few years into the PS6 cycle.
This is like arguing with an angry version of chatGPT. After 80 million sales the hardcore gamer number is starting to be scarce… mmmh… captain obvious, that number starts to scarce at 30 Million or so maybe a lot lot less. Think N64 and GCN sales or Wii U.
Insomniac releases their games in Sep / Oct. I don't see them delaying it unless they really need to for polishing.
Best selling platformed of all time?Also, Astro's Playroom is at 84.2m. units, insane, JUST INSANE!!
Could you please point me to where Piscatella said this about Sony's report on Yotei's first 32 days of worldwide sales?
Selling almost 4 million in a non holiday quarter is very impressive, i was expecting a flat 3 million so 3.9 million is a great result.
X360 last official sales update was 84 million shipped (June 2014), but it remained on sale for another year and within that time Microsoft lumped X360 and XBO sales together. Then by June 2015 they completely ended quarterly and yearly shipment updates. General estimates have it shipping 85 to 86 million.PS5 Has Now Officially Outsold Every Xbox Console Ever Released - IGN
The PlayStation 5 is now up to 84.2 million copies sold after shifting an additional 3.9 million units during the three-month period ending September 30, Sony has announced.www.ign.com
Yotei is definitely behind and unlikely to pull ahead. I'm curious what happens after the holidays.
