Holy shit, that's a great Q3

75M in 4 years and we're only mid way through the Gen without significant price drops or GTA6 yet

Well deserved for an awesome platform

No new AstroBot numbers…?

As I expected, Sony had a MONSTER Q3 in sales even outdoing last year's Q3.

They sold 9.5 million units in Q3... Astonishing numbers...

Even selling half of what they did in the previous Q4, they'll hit their forecast... With 75 million units sold at the end of the fiscal year, this also places the PS5 ahead of the PS4 LTD by 1.4 million... Doomers... what?!

MAUs rose to 129 million... meaning we're absolutely seeing growth in the PlayStation platform which must be coming at the expense of Xbox and PC.

129 million with 75 million PS5s sold means that there are 54 million PS4s still actively playing. I was right on the money with my predictions that we're looking at 125-130 million PS5s sold by the end of the generation. Reality if the MAUs are this high, we're probably looking at closer to 135-140 million if not more...

Excellent report for SIE tonight.

Edit: I'm seeing differing numbers for PS4 LTD, regardless, extremely close with GTA6 coming out.

Year over year quarter 3 Hardware shipments are 1.3million up from 8.2 million.

PS5 Versus PS4

For the 3rd quarter of the 4th full fiscal year (orange) the 9.5 million the PS5 shipped is 0.5 million up on PS4's 9.0 million and after 17 quarters the PS5 totals 75.0 million compared to 76.7 million for the PS4. This means launch aligned the PS5 is 1.7 million behind the PS4.

Yeah, it's crazy how dumb some people insist on being.

Gaming has been Sony's most profitable division for over a decade at this point. It's now clear that Hiroki Totoki's studio tours after he took over from Jim Ryan was to make sure everything was buttoned up and see what needed to be adjusted. I suspect he's not keen on letting it go to shit under his watch after what Kaz went through to save Sony.
 
Still behind the PS4.
An undoubted success, but there's something to be said about that. Imagine if they hadn't fucked up this gen and weren't putting out SOPs like yesterday.

Where's my man DenchDeckard DenchDeckard that kept asking for numbers? I hope you're happy.

Morning. If you read my posts I was saying hardware sales Sony are killing it, is the software sales that is concerning. Especially for third party but even first party is down.

I'm more concerned about those celebrating these numbers while we see state of plays consistently failing to deliver.

It's like the xbox users are moving over to ps5 and feeling completely at home with such a weak first party release schedule and declining software sales.

A good fit, I guess.

/jokes 😀

I would imagine software sells quite good if profits went from 4B on the PS4 to 12B now. No reason to be so concerned!

After a huge Q3 The PS5 is less than a million from overtaking the 3DS, It will do it next quarter and should overtake GBA and PSP in 2 or 3 quarters.

Stop making yourself look silly.

Down 1.7 million LTD across a 4 year period is NOTHING... Especially with GTA6 around the corner.

Very weak 2021 because of shortages, 15.7 million PS4 in 2014 vs 12.8 PS5 in 2021.

You can see the software sales, especially first party being considerably down vs yoy, even with such a monster hardware qtr.

Still it's an awesome achievement for Sony on the hardware front.

No, PS5 game sales were down for a long while. -12% in one quarter actually, compared to PS4.

The spending is going towards MTX. And also, the absolute numbers might be higher for the PS5 - the profit margins are substantially lower than the PS4's.

^Edit: Other than this one in the span of 4 years, before the regulars get angry. Although, this 11.6% ain't touching the heights of PS4.

When compared to an Xbox console that is anywhere from 5 to 10 million behind where the Xbox One is, down 1.7 million is not nothing.

When it's all said and done, do you think the PS5 will be 5-10 million behind the PS4, or 5-10 million ahead in lifetime units?

The PS5 will outpace the PS4 by the end of the next fiscal year.

We're looking at 130+ million LT at the rate we're progressing.

Sony had Spiderman 2 in fall 2023 and AstroBot in fall 2024

What kind of spin is this? No shit first party software sales are down YoY

Wait. If according to AMD, current gen consoles have sold 100million units, and ps5 is at 75milliom, did Xbox series consoles only sell 25 million units so far? Keep in mind that,according to this article, this figure also includes steamdeck and ps4 sales(since the start of the gen).

Surpassed during the quarter, keep in mind the PS5 was 65.5 million and Xbox Series 31.5 million (estimate) at the start of the quarter (97 million).

I'm not spinning it, I'm just saying what the data shows.

I agree with you. It just shows that sonys release schedule is showing signs of not having the big hitters we have seen before.
