Given that it retails for $700, the sales performance of this console is nothing short of impressive, showcasing its popularity and demand in the market.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Even with the price point, I don't think this is surprising. It's a new, fancy thing in a market that embraces new, fancy things. People complained about price, sure, but people will always complain about price.

 

[Sooner]

It's also outselling the PS5. It's new hardware.

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

A new hardware outselling a 4 year old hardware. Who knew?

A $700 hardware sells better than a $250 hardware, which offers Call of Duty for free through a subscription service. That is quite a difference, don't you think?

Pre orders just took place on Amazon yesterday. Of course it’s a top seller. But Twitter warriors like Zuby obviously ignore context.

 

[Rockman33]

lol. What a headline. Aka it’s the best selling console period today? Including ps5, switch and Xbox.

 

[Lone Wolf]

I’m sure the pro console will do well this holiday. Can’t wait for mine.

 

[Sooner]

A $700 hardware sells better than a $250 hardware, which offers Call of Duty for rent for $240 per year.

Edited that for you.

Xbox is irrelevant.

A device whose preorder went live yesterday( at third party retailers) outsold a 4 year old Xbox series. Context matters, it was always going to outsell other systems during first month of preorder.

I can only confirm with my old 360 controller at the moment.

pass the controller bro

 

[CoreyFlawless]

I really want to know how good it gonna be selling next year. After the new smell is gone. Idk, wish ppl wouldn’t buy it. All it gonna do is encourage them to release the next console at a higher price

 

[Fahdis]

pass the controller bro

Thought you'd never ask bro. Only a Pro can play with the PS Pro Dualsense with these hands.

 

[Cakeboxer]

New hardware from a very popular console manufactorer outsells his own 4 years old hardware and also the 4 years old hardware from a very unpopular console manufactorer?

 

[Js562]

This shit again

 

[Matsuchezz]

A hw that noone wanted and nobody asked for it's selling good!! And several news outlets were dissing it from the get go. People are getting butt hurt because of this, and they are becoming ill.

 

[dano1]

This can’t be right? So many people saying it would be dead on arrival

 

[RetroGamingUK]

As much to do with the collapse of Xbox than anything.

Xbox in 2025 will be a lot like 2021 was for Sega.

Where's Tom Warren now he must be shitting himself that the console which didn't sell out is actually still popular

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Checking out UK Amazon…

 

[Mobilemofo]

I'm halfway through a wall of written text about Xbox called : Xbox: The Sega Years, detailing it's eventual downfall and rise through software.

Doa doesn't mean it sells 0. New hardware from popular manufactorers always sells at the start. Like a former Sony president and CEO once said about a new console "The first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even it didn't have games"

The decline mirror’s Sega’s

1st console - Good but overlooked

2nd console - Their GOAT but lost sight with stupid add-on

3rd console - Botched reveal, expensive launch price, games run MUCH worse than competitor

4th console - Better hardware, continually dogged by 3rd party rumours, sells worse that 3rd gen

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Amazon, right the day when PS5P launches: Sells 4 PS5P, 1 XSX
GAF: OMG PS5P is outselling competition, this thing is a hit!
1 week later, some random X "Analyst": PS5P outselling XB 4:1

can we stop with this brain dead number fiddling to fit some random agenda?

 

[rapid32.5]

Best multi platform game versions got even better, who wouldn’t want that?stepping a half step into PS6 gen today. But yeah, prepare for $700 PS6 at this rate.

I would consider 5 million pretty damn good. This isn’t the PS6.
But I do believe it will help make the PS6 a better console.

PS4 Pro sold 20 million, 5 million lifetime wouldn't be pretty damn good. I'm still convinced the price is a test run for the PS6 and if it sells really good, i would expect the PS6 to be 599-649 Euro without a disc drive.

To be fair, many people said "If it's this and that price, it will be doa". But of course nobody meant it wouldn't be able to still sell a few millions, it will just do worse than the PS4 Pro.

I still think thats true.

But "DOA" nah.

It's going to do better than PS4 Pro

1. Some random console warrior/person that benefits from console war drama posts out of context snapshot that means very little even with context
2. Console warrior/fanboy excitedly posts thread for all the other console warriors and fanboys, completely devoid of any context
3. Some sane people inject some reality into the conversation
4. Console warriors sidestep and argue about hyperbolic statements instead

Any major points I've missed in this groundbreaking important news item?

The Regular PS5 likely won't outsell the 4 never mind the Pro model's. What makes you think it will?

Let's add "Person still pretends it's news and worthy of anyone's time let alone the console war spin despite early posts giving proper context"
