They are talking about that transition period. That was to clear stock of the old PS5s for the new ones. That sold out and caused temporary shortages in some places until the new one was announced and stocked at retailers.Seems like they've been fully stocked for a minute. I doubt we would have seen the $50 discount and the free game bundle offer if they were still in short supply.
Just so happened to go to walmart to pick something up and I saw someone buying one too. It was also packed with them.I know my WalMart in Indiana the case is totally full of PS5s and a couple of the black SM2 bundles still there as of this morning
Maybe their other subsidiaries? Someone from SMEJ looks like a strong possibility.There are other options for Totoki though. He could install someone from Sony Group to oversee SIE
That seems to be a requirement, yeah.Don't know if Eric speaks Japanese either. That's something I think every other head of SIE (SCEI) has been able to do
first time i heard of this guy , seems very positive for ps5
Like it was already said....and?This next fiscal year? If the switch 2 launches though.........

To me the more interesting news is this:
"One-third of the PS Plus base have already opted for higher priced tiers since they were introduced, more than expected"
I guess their G&NS report might not be as bad as I expected.
No but the quote is referring to that periodWhat stock is on shelves now? I thought that the "slim" hit Nov 10th, did they get those out early?

Switch 2 is actually the biggest threat to PS5.....it will do nothing to the PS5.
Competition is always good best gen was 7th when everyone had a good piece of the pie also fuck SegaNow if only MS can follow in Sony's footsteps and solve their stock and shortages issues. Im sure their sales will skyrocket as competition is always good
I doubt it, but we shall see.Switch 2 is actually the biggest threat to PS5
We are getting close to the " Let's get this for the kids " part of the PS5 life cycle & Switch 2 will eat up a good part of that market.I doubt it, but we shall see.
I heard similar talk before the Switch dropped. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'm not saying it's guaranteed either. That's why a wait-and-see approach is better.We are getting close to the " Let's get this for the kids " part of the PS5 life cycle & Switch 2 will eat up a good part of that market.
You sure? Because the talk around here was people questioning if Switch would even sell before it was released lolI heard similar talk before the Switch dropped. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'm not saying it's guaranteed either. That's why a wait-and-see approach is better.
A lot of SM2 bundles sitting around of the current console
The gift of Christmas, let no one be left without theirs.
Oh they trying to hit 60 million by March

Positive. Doesn't matter, all hypothetical. New consoles are a complete restart.You sure? Because the talk around here was people questioning if Switch would even sell before it was released lol

Switch was lightening in a bottle.We are getting close to the " Let's get this for the kids " part of the PS5 life cycle & Switch 2 will eat up a good part of that market.
Switch wasn't cheap lolSwitch was lightening in a bottle.
If I was Nintendo I'd be more concerned about having a smooth launch and transitioning users over to the new system. Switch was a success because it was portable, cheap and casual friendly. By their very definition these are gamers who aren't all that concerned with the latest tech and may not feel the need to upgrade.
PS5 on the other hand is the de facto console option for the FIFA/COD/Spider-Man crowd in Europe and the US. It's much more straightforward for Sony to build their userbase. The Slim and Pro aren't fraught with the same dangers Nintendo faces with Switch 2.
took a picture of one (PS5 fat) at Bridgepointe Target (Foster City/Fashion Island/SF Bay Area) a week ago. Glad to see them finally in stock 3 years later, now that they're obsolete.
Competition. Switch kicked the crap out of PS4. It wasn’t even close. The best selling PlayStation exclusive is barely Top 20 on Nintendo’s all-time list.Don't see why sales would tank because of the Switch 2.

You really think PS4 sales suffered because of the Switch?Competition. Switch kicked the crap out of PS4. It wasn’t even close. The best selling PlayStation exclusive is barely Top 20 on Nintendo’s all-time list.

We have factual data where PS4 set sales records...after the Switch launched....same for PS5.
And what in the world does game sales have to do with this discussion?
I grew up here, moved to Las Vegas at some point, then to Reno, NV, then to Texas for 2 years... Texas was interesting. Not in the military, just trying to figure it all out, remote coder. Back at my parents in Belmont with my wife and kid lol before we head out to Reno, NV this Saturday where we'll hopefully stay for a while. Seeing the system in stock was like a rare pokemon sighting or something, I almost couldn't believe it.Oh shit, you live in the area?!?
I was hoping to see some spidey display at the hq last week.
That's why it's working. Hire the best people for the positions offered, not looking at skin color or where this person came from. Chairman is Japanese, there's some Americans, a Dutch guy etc.Hmmmm... They are lacking diversity.
What do you mean? PS5 is everywhere right now i think.I'm just wondering why they let stock dry up on PS5 & Portal
