PS5 Is the Fastest-Selling Console in U.S. History for Dollar Sales - IGN

The PlayStation 5 is the fastest-selling console in U.S. history by dollar sales, taking the record from Nintendo Switch.

www.ign.com

Off to another great start for PlayStation. There's no stopping this train.

Imagine where we'd be if Sony could produce enough to meet demand.

They’re is a thread for NPD info already.

February 2021 NPD: Nintendo Switch sales was the highest for any hardware platform in a February month since the Nintendo Wii in Feburary 2009

BTW dollar sales doesn’t mean much when you have sold less units overall... PS5 main model is more expensive.

 

[Kuranghi]

I'd be interested to know what the Fastest-Restocking console in U.S. History was.

 

[sunnysideup]

dollar is worth less. more dollars needed to buy console.

B Bodomism gets upset when you mention anything other than Nintendo in his threads (unless, it's negative of course).

PS5 Is the Fastest-Selling Console in U.S. History per plastic used.

Why do you advertise for PlayStation For free?

 

[LisaMariaMartin]

So it's not the fastest selling console?

 

[Mr Moose]

[HarryKS]

There is no god damn stock man.

 

[Zoro7]

Another one!

 

[Mr Moose]

So it's not the fastest selling console?

According to Mat from NPD, yes it is.

Now we just need games to play on it.

 

[mckmas8808]

Well alright!

 

[SlimySnake]

I am so happy for Jim Ryan. Surely this means fewer cross gen games and more exclusives.

 

[Stuart360]

lol was waiting for this after that Switch sales thread.
And by the user with an amazing custom tag too.

 

[Concern]

?

So op doesn’t just advertise for Playstation for free.... he also does false advertisements

 

[Captain Toad]

Read the tweet again.

"PlayStation 5 is currently the fastest selling hardware platform in U.S. history"

 

[Mr Moose]

So the PS5 is just selling fast? lol of course the scalpers will buy that thing fast

A sale is a sale.

So op doesn’t just advertise for Playstation for free.... he also does false advertisements

Title is correct (according to Mat) unless it was changed, I wasn't paying attention

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Playstation is still king. Good reminder for Nintendo fanboys.

He did a fine thread this time with most of the info including the PS5 one... so this thread is just a duplication.

This one is based on an IGN article, which is based on the Tweets in the other thread
I'd rather know numbers than $, didn't like it when NPD switched to $ crap with games

 

[Tickle My Tendies]

It flies off the shelves, that’s for sure. Selling like crazy.

Well you will need to hope some leaker on ERA leaks them... I believe they didn’t in January but they did in December.

 

[Derktron]

Okay how much of those sales comes from actual consumers and not scrapers?

 

[Stuart360]

Okay how much of those sales comes from actual consumers and not scrapers?

Yeah. We would probably need 6 months of all next gen consoles being available on store shelves worldwide to see where we really are this gen, and thats probably going to be another year or more.

Slightly off topic but i do wonder if this gen will go on a year or two longer than expected, just because of how hard its looking like its going to be for gamers to get these consoles in the first couple of years.

 

[FStubbs]

The road to 200 million continues - though apparently that road doesn't go through Japan.

 

[Varteras]

Okay how much of those sales comes from actual consumers and not scrapers?

Highly unlikely that the 4.5 million+ PS5's sold so far have such a significant number of scalper sales that it's somehow the reason you can't find any.

 

[KungFucius]

Wii U

Lol, but you can't really restock something that isn't selling so no.

 

[Captain Toad]

Okay how much of those sales comes from actual consumers and not scrapers?

Scalpers wouldn't be buying them if they weren't able to easily offload them for MORE than MSRP.

So, as far as this is concerned, it doesn't matter.

 

[KungFucius]

Don't you dare try to dispel the myth that evil scalpers are buying them all! Clearly they have resold millions at twice MSRP and continue to do so. Also these same scalpers keep taking all the covid vaccination appointments away from real people who need the vaccine. Oh and they bought all the inflatable pools last summer too.

 

[Adam_802]

By dollar lmao, is this supposed to be a response the the Bethesda news haha

 

[Mr Moose]

By dollar lmao, is this supposed to be a response the the Bethesda news haha

Why would the NPD group care about the Bethesda news?

 

[Metnut]

Impossible! ES6, from the makers of recent flop Fallout76, and due out around 2028, might not come to PS5!

 

[phil_t98]

Most expensive Sony console so far so it will make more money

[ChuckeRearmed]

For Dollar sales? LMAO. Absolutely useless metric lol

 

[Airbus Jr]

Do you know what im waiting for?

Some special edition ps5

Maybe for horizon zero dawn or gran turismo 7

With a 2-4 TB capacity

That will be great

 

[phil_t98]

Remember they were severely restricted at launch

 

[Majukun]

what does "for dollar sales" means?

 

[FranXico]

I am so happy for Jim Ryan. Surely this means fewer cross gen games and more exclusives.

It also means US gets the bulk of the stock, while Europe gets shafted. Thank you Jim Ryan.

 

[Mr Moose]

what does "for dollar sales" means?

It made the most $ saleswise not necessarily by units.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Neat.

Still don't have one

 

[phil_t98]

what does "for dollar sales" means?

It means they not selling as many consoles due to supply issues still restricted so they spinning it by saying taking more money than befor

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

So the PS5 is just selling fast? lol of course the scalpers will buy that thing fast

How is this scalping? This picture is from the MiHoYo team receiving PS5 and Graphics cards as gifts.

 

[RokkanStoned]

"For dollar sales"? That seems a bit desperate. When you need to do that to get attention, it makes you look worse, not better. It's like with Microsoft and their change of metrics to what's convenient for them.

EDIT: Then again, at least it's not Sony, just IGN using metrics from NPD?

 

[The Chairman]

I just realized that the PS5 is the fastest selling white console with a 5 in it's name, someone should make a thread about this new information lol
The fact that the Switch beat it in units sold AND revenue this month is really pathetic.

Most expensive Sony console so far so it will make more money

Sony are actually losing money for every PS5 sold plus all PS5 games bombed making it worse for Sony, that's why Sony are whoring their exclusives to PC players recently.

 

[SlimySnake]

what does "for dollar sales" means?

Ps4 was the fastest selling console before switch. But it was $399. when switch broke the record, it became the fastest selling console ever. But while it sold more units, it was still only $299.

The ps5 sold fewer units but made more money than the switch due to being $200 more expensive.
