Think there was some market estimate in IBF that would give some insight into what they thought the % between markets was

- PS5 has pretty much the same marketshare that PS4 has in EU+UK
- PS5 makes up for EU losses with UK gains
Might have read the other replies already but it's just not hit 2M yet to show in the chart.I would say maybe they are recording them as separate items but then why wouldnt the PS5 be split by Standard and Digital version
I think it just might not be selling well in UK
Price increase = more and more sales and demand still not met
Pretty much unprecendeted in console history.
I have seen so many promotions for the Series S in different regions....its gotta be frustrating for MS that despite doing that the PS5 is still trucking along..microsoft are feeling it too. been seeing alot of ads for the series s bundle with fifa. not even a mention of series x on the ad. they are going for the budget friendly casual gamers. well they are trying to anyway but it really feels like nobody cares abut the series s, even if it is cheap.
I thought this was the fastest selling xbox? Is something fishy going on with reported numbers?
They are an established brand in video games and they don't need to push bullshit down people's throats to sell consoles. They have arguably been as anti consumer this gen as they've ever been and yet they STILL sell more than their direct competition (Microsoft).Good for Sony, what do we get out of this?

Like I said before, game pass means shit when you have a brand like Playstation.

Minus the new games released day and date. So yes and no. But they only just introduced that crap a few months ago. Lets be honest- even without that sub crap, they will sell more than Microsoft no matter what.Isn't sony copying game pass with the additions to playstaion plus?
Uk was/is the switches weakest marketI'm a bit surprised that the Nintendo Switch is that low. Were there supply issues during launch of Switch? Or is it just less popular in general? Even the PS3 with its meme worthy launch price managed to sell faster.
The numbers are for consoles that exceeded 2M.Yeah no Series S or Series X with Xbox One and OG Xbox ahead? I thought this was the fastest selling xbox? Is something fishy going on with reported numbers?
And you don't have to miss out on certain games now like you did in the past, and get visual (60fps, higher resolution, textures, geometry, etc) and loading times QoL improvements.For all the bitching about cross gen, it's called fucking support. Playstations get support well after the new shit comes out. Tends to make current owners happy with their purchase and want the next one when they decide it's time.

Me personally I bought a ps5 for final fantasy. I play ff14 and am looking forward to ff7 rebirth and ff16 the most. For me the ps5 is my final fantasy boxYeah… i don’t think I’ve ever heard someone buying PS5 in reference to the new ps plus

God of War 2, etc., if you jumped into PS3 later than the BC versions, but did not have a PS2 anymore for other reasons.
Gran Turismo 6, etc, on the PS3 but not PS4.
As mentioned in another post, remember that the markets are different aka global vs UK.Series has 6 weeks left to hit that milestone in order to keep the title of 'fastest selling XBox'
Yea of course - it can globally be fastest without reaching that in UK. But it could also be the fastest in UK and still not make that chart - yet.As mentioned in another post, remember that the markets are different aka global vs UK.
1m milestone
PS4 - 42 weeks
PS5 - 39 weeks
2m milestone
PS4 - 75 weeks
PS5 - 98weeks
3m milestone
PS4 *- ~108-112 weeks
PS5 - ???

Given the stock increases and the way it appears that it's just gonna keep ramping up for the next 1.5 years, I wouldn't be surprised to see the PS5 hit 3 million faster than the PS4. They're gonna flood the market with 'em.
My only question is whether they'll devote several million units worth of components to their cloud infrastructure so PS5 games can be streamed at some point in the next year or so. My speculation is that once PS3 emulation finally becomes a thing that they'll transition their cloud infrastructure to PS5 only hardware. That way everything will be streamable from one platform instead of requiring legacy PS3 hardware in the cloud. Maybe that'll also coincide with their plans to move to Azure, who knows.
1m in 10-14 weeks seems like a massive task. Catching up around the 3.5m/4m range is more likely.I wouldn't be surprised to see the PS5 hit 3 million faster than the PS4. They're gonna flood the market with 'em.

I remember some gaming forum threads talking about how Sony is fucked and everybody would shift to some other platform.
message boards are always bubbles to some degree, they do not represent how things are perceived globally.
If you add to that the fact that we're at the peak of the console war season and many comments are not genuine but done on purpose to try to create and control narratives (in the delusion that it has an impact in the real world), the reasons of such detachment from reality are clear.
I don't think an expensive add-on is going to change their plans. If they are really thinking about shipping 30M consoles i can't imagine PS5 having issues in a year from now.They releasing psvr2 next year. I don't think they can sort the stock anytime soon
In the Activision CMA filing, they revealed that Sony has sold 150 million PS4 and PS5 units while they have only sold 63 million. X1 sold around 50 million so that means XS has sold around 13 million. PS4 was around 117 million last i heard, but even if we assume its around 125 million, the PS5 is at around 25 million which means after all that, Phil has managed to be outsold by 2:1 AGAIN. He's spent almost $87 billion on Activision, Zenimax and Minecraft. Probably another half a billion on Obsidian, PG, NT, and Undead Labs. He released a $300 console for the masses who dont seem to care. He released the so-called most powerful console and still cant beat out the PS5 in a very strong Xbox market like UK? He's literally giving away first party games for free with their gamepass subs, and he's still being outsold 2:1??He can also GTFO, he should work more and talk less if I am being honest.
That's just more people looking for it. More demandI don't think an expensive add-on is going to change their plans. If they are really thinking about shipping 30M consoles i can't imagine PS5 having issues in a year from now.

Like how does this man still have a job? If I was his boss, id be like I gave you a blank check only for you to lose 2:1 again?? I am guessing they will give him 1 more year to see what kind of audience Starfield brings, but by then the PS5 will have its shortage over and its own RPGs to compete with Starfield.
At the end of the day, its not the tweets or lip service that get you sales. It's the damn games. Maybe MS can replace him with a guy who understands this.
Really? I actually don't think the GP cares for VR. Only enthusiastics and those probably already have a PS5 anyway.That's just more people looking for it. More demand
