Folks are saving that when we get hosed in january with energy price increases.
Meany.....
Yeah…remember when the narrative was that Xbox always sells a lot during Black Friday?PS5 up by 217% YoY. Xbox just "matched" last year despite heavy discounts.
The UK is the second strongest market for Xbox vs PlayStation and yet it’s selling less than half? I can’t even imagine that WW gap tbh. It’s going to be a disaster.PS5 BF week wasn't even particularly strong in the UK although massively up yoy because they had massive sales the week before and the week after there was the official launch of the Slim.
In summary: the full November data will be crazy for PS5.
Edit with estimates:
For BF week:
PS5 83K
XB S/X 56K
Full month:
PS5 250k
XB S/X 100-120k
Meany.....
With the percentages this is what i have for BF week
Black Friday UK 2022
Switch : 61.000 units
Xbox Series: 58.000 units
PS5: 26.000 units
Total: 145.000 units
Black Friday UK 2023
PS5: 82.500 units (+217%)
Xbox Series: 58.000 units (flat)
Switch: 54.000 units (-11%)
Total: 194.500 units (+34%)
And he is in damage control modePS5 = +217%
XBS = 0%
So PS5 tripled its sales... and Xbox, despite the discounts, only managed to stay the same as last year.
PlayStation may grab the headlines, but it was still a strong week for Xbox Series S and X
And PS5 is going to have lots of releases for the next few months:
Today: DLC for FFXVI
4 days from now: Free DLC for God of War
January: TLOU2 Remastered
February: Helldivers 2 and FFVII Rebirth
March: Rise of the Ronin
Still to come in 2024: MLB The Show, Death Stranding 2, Silent Hill 2, PS5 Pro during the fall.
And this is without a huge effort from PS studios first party.
Next year the bloodbath will continue.
Helldivers 2, Concord, Fairgame$ and Marathon were all announced this year. Now if you meant no single player 1st party games then yes.I've been pissed off at Sony for not announcing any new games from their 1st party studios this year.

PlayStation 5 black friday lasted 2 weeks, so week before BF was also massive.As the article says, the PS5 was heavily supply limited last year.
In fact, last BF week, the console share was
Switch - 42% of all consoles sold
Xbox Series - 40% of all consoles sold
PS5 - 18%

The growth % this year is impressive…but that’s from a low start point.
Maybe Spiderman has remained in stock because there is a shit ton of stock available. For the sole intention of hitting those targets.If I was wrong here, I wouldn't be mad about it, but nothing that I've seen would suggest that they're going to hit 25 million.
In the US you could tell that the old spider-man bundled SKU has/had stayed in stock for entirely too long. If they were outpacing the numbers they needed to make up the difference here, these should have sold out much faster.
I also don't think Spider-Man itself is selling enough units to really drive the numbers Sony is going to need in order to hit 25 million.
Then you have a really weak January/February compared to 2022. They can't compete with that in 2024, not just with FF7 Rebirth.
They've been way more aggressive with the pricing than I had anticipated, but I would still be very surprised if they hit their number.

A man can dream huh?
Can you remember what the data we have thus far says they have shipped for the FY quarters on record?
Nice!
Here's the tale of Chris Dring in a nutshell...
Who cares if its first or second party?I've been pissed off at Sony for not announcing any new games from their 1st party studios this year. I'm now wondering if this could have anything to do with the release of the PS5 Pro in Q3 '24. It would make sense to launch the PS5 Pro with games that make use of the extra graphical power. I really hope so because Sony's own 1st party output has been underwhelming recently.

The price of the PS5 plus Final Fantasy 7 rebirth should outpace Q1 2022
I remember posting in that thread, but I was super drunk, then next day seeing it was from 2022?Didn’t Xbox win BF this year? Or did i miss something?
Surprisingly good result for Xbox. Considering that last year there was a shortage of PS consoles, the fact that the Xbox sold the same amount as the last year, despite PS being available proves once again my suspicion that if Xbox cost less than 499$ and 299$, people would buy it more. When Xbox has the same price as Playstation, consumers prefer buying Playstation.
Ugh. Hogwarts was big. Forgot about that.I seriously doubt that. The fanbase who will buy FF7 who didn't buy FF16 AND didn't get integrade ps5 is going to be pretty small at least relative to hogwarts legacy.
Install base lads: Xbox will win UK Black Friday week
