Dont take notice of this fool. He made a bunch of dumb points that had no merit the other week.
Nintendo has never had a console out sell a Playstation console apart fromt the Wii over the PS3. Which wasnt by much.
PS5 has a good line up in its first year of release unlike the PS4 and more than the switch

Its been out what 2 months? And outsold everywhere. Not enough to deal with the demand. Give it some time to see how much the games are selling lol.
Considering TLOU2, Ghost of Tsushima and Spider man MM were in the top 10 most sold games of 2020 I dont think its grim at all...

No, the Japanese sales data was just one example, also i don't see how many copies sold of any PS5 games in OP?
It's really sad when people bring PS4 games sales to defend PS5 games sales lmao

I see your point now, if they started already creating it for PS4 hardware might as well finish it.

Why are we comparing the Switch which is in its third year to the PS5 that is in its third month?
We don't know lifetime sales yet.

Why in the world would they give software sales numbers right now? The system isn't even widely available. When it is, the numbers skyrocket, as this very thread is pointing out. Just stop, you're making yourself look foolish.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Sony will rack up sales they are working up against Xbox and switch right now they’ve been able to get consoles into the UK retail spaces.

Anything regarding PS5 is like dropping a chunk of meat in shark infested waters.
People are whipped up in a frenzy and buy up everything. It's no wonder PlayStation and Xbox won't go full next gen exclusive just yet.
That 120+ million user base is hungry.

Except scalpers doesn’t sell software... so the increase in software shows the console are in consumers hands.

I'm actually impressed with how much the scalpers seem to love Hitman 3. Maybe they feel like they can relate to him in some ways so they're all playing that game while waiting for a buyer for their PS5.

I can't help but wonder how much better games sales would be if those of us who aren't so net savvy, nor want to jump through a bunch of hoops, could actually get our hands on a PS5 by just walking into a store and picking one up. I worry that if I order one online somewhere (slim chance of that happening due to bots and my lack of time and savvy), it will be delivered by Ace Ventura, or one of those people who pretend to deliver it but keep it for themselves.
I DO understand the high demand, component supply constraints, scalpers and COVID limiting supply and accessibility, but still, Sony would benefit from a game hoarder like me buying lots of games once I get a PS5. High or low game sales numbers are fairly meaningless when there are MILLIONS of people unable to acquire the hardware in which to play said games. Take any poorly selling PS5 game for example....just because there are ~10 million PS5's in gamer's hands, doesn't mean all 10mil will buy that game. Maybe it's just many of the people who have been lucky enough to get one just aren't interested in that game, and many of the millions who can't get a PS5 would have bought it.

Yes the PS5 is selling because of FOMO and scalpers. Not because it's a popular brand since the PS1. Not at all.

According to VGChartz, Sony have sold 4.2 million PS5s so far.
Let's assume that scalpers claimed 250,000 of these machines with their bots. That means that scalpers only account for 5% of the total sales volume. In the grand scheme of things, that's bugger all.
And that 250,000 is a number I've pulled out of my butt just to illustrate. It's likely under 50,000 in real life, meaning they only account for 1% of the console sales (or 1.19% if you want to be really fucking anal about it).

The Switch was in exactly the same situation. Scalped to oblivion.
It's better you don't participate in this thread if it triggers you so much.

Bound to have a big effect on Xbox, where the attach ratio is already sub average. PC and mobile is really where MS hopes their large investments will pay off, but it’s easier said than done. In retrospect MS fucked up big time on the PC side, because the Windows store should’ve been the Google Play store equivalent, but now the hopes lie on Gamepass.

Also has a lot to do with their hardware starting slower than Xbox One. Subscriptions don't sell consoles, software does. If they had a BOTW game it would convince more gamers.

The actual number doesn't really matter in this context. The PS5 version of the game accounts for roughly half of all copies sold.
Not every owner of a console will buy any given game. And not every game is guaranteed to be successful. Otherwise, I could quite easily ask why BoTW or SM: Odyssey haven't sold 60 million copies each.
In this instance looking at relative proportions is a fine metric.

stop feeding the troll.
All the information is already in the OP.
He already ignored the ones below.
Some new PS5 consoles were released in the market last week, which had a positive impact on a few titles. Spider-Man: Miles Morales is up 142%, jumping from No.12 to No.5, Demon's Souls re-enters the charts at No.35 with a 166% sales increase, and there were sales bumps for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (up 56% and driven by the PlayStation version) and Assassin's Creed Valhalla (up 7%, but with the PS5 version up 174%). In total, PS5 game sales increased 279% week-on-week.
The above will be the occurrence as more stocks will be available.
PS5 has limited software titles and games like Spider-man, Demon Souls and other major 3rd party games will sell slowly from PS5. As the install base grow bigger more people will buy games.

I can't even.... Like seriously, are some ppl literally not reading the OP?
Company gets more stock available for a console that has huuuuge demand, game sales skyrocket.
Hot take: game sales are terrible..
?
What in thee world....
Thank you.
It's just that right now Nintendo already dealt with their supply/demand, scalped to hell situation.
I couldn't get a Switch all year, the regular one. Once the holidays hit, stock was readily available.

Everyone is thirsty for these new consoles. I wonder when the drought will be over.
The crazy poster with the anime avatar probably forgot about the Ps4 and its first half year or so. The console was very hard to find and scalpers bought huge part of the stock. But once the console became more available, the console and game sales sky rocketed.
Same will happen to the Ps5. I mean, look at the OP.
