Player excitement for PS5 is higher than ever making this the biggest November for PlayStation consoles sold through to consumers. This momentum has been driven by recent hits such as the critically acclaimed PS5 game Marvel's Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games, as well as celebrated partner titles including Baldur's Gate 3 from Larian Studios, and Alan Wake 2 from Remedy Entertainment and Epic Games.

Best Nov. ever is crazy

Deserved. They redeemed themselves in my eyes after the jet engine fiasco that was PS4.

 

[NomenNescio]

I thought consoles were dead.

 

[Dr.D00p]

Genuine upsurge or simply delayed demand finally being satisfied, post covid and, for the first time, a ready supply of stock at Christmas, since launch?

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Best. Gif. Ever!

Overtaking PS4 by the end of the year...They effing did it!

 

[RoboFu]

I knew it! I bet Spiderman 2 numbers are huge as well since what I saw was mostly bundles.

This is one smart way for Sony to push back against the leaks that only were done to harm. I have NO CLUE how the western video game media will cover all this news and where they'll go with it all.

 

[mckmas8808]

I thought consoles were dead.

That's what they said in the summer of 2013. Now "THEY" say video game subscriptions are the future.

Worst. They say streaming and cloud gaming is the future.

 

[The artful mincer]

All that panic in the November Npd for nothing!

Just goes to show one market never paints the whole picture even if it's the biggest one!

 

[SHA]

This statement will be used forever, actually until we reach a point where you could create content on the fly while imagining it.

The only thing left is to get to those 25M by March 2024.

 

[onQ123]

Just imagine if they would have won Black Friday

Judging by consumer's game buying habits, it just may boost some sales.

 

[Unknown?]

Crazy and in Europe it beat even the DS's record.

I mean...considering that what was leaked was that Playstation is going to have Venom and X-Men games if anything the leaks will help Sony...not the other way around. At least from the consumer point of view.

 

[Represent.]

I imagine GTA6 will move PS5s like nothing else. This record won't last too long

It's as if somebody wants people to have less ownership of their purchases. I wonder who? Certainly, it's not your average gamer.

Now it goes to show that context is what should matter when we get data. NPD for 2022 was 1.3 Million for PS5 and 1.06 million for 2023. Who in their right mind would think that's bad in the first place? All people were going with was "PS5 dropped 20%".

It's the same thing that helped Rockstar and GTA VI. I thought the leaks would hurt last year.......but nope. It only created more excitement. Crazy!

 

[ungalo]

I made history by buying it.

If anything they help playstation. These leaks basically told fans playstation is getting a Venom, wolverine, ratchet and Spiderman 3 game for the rest of the gen.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Remember tho, PC ports are killing the brand

 

[GHG]

I thought consoles were dead.

They are for some companies.

 

[Banjo64]

Big dick energy, the output hasn't been to my taste but there can be no doubt that its an appealing product. Using it was a very good experience, the dashboard and SSD speed really had the wow factor.

These leaks did more positive for Sony's PR than Jim Ryan has in the last 24 months LOL!

Here's some footage of a Ps5 in November as it enters a retail store and leaves with a customer, all within a timeframe of 0.1 seconds:

And the rights to X-Men and most Marvel characters

 

[T-0800]

At the rate it is selling I expect it to reach a number greater than this in the future.

 

[Generic]

The most bizarre thing about the Playstation brand is that each new Playstation console is worse than the one before it and yet they keep selling more and more.

 

[reinking]

You all laughed at this big bitch...

 

[Pop]

That GTA VI/PS5 marketing partnership about to go crazy next holiday
