Microsoft won't tell us, the big meanie heads.how does it compare to numbers for xsx/xss
They might easily be at 10m sold consoles without the supply constraints. The thirst is real.That's a lot of fucking consoles.

I still think Ragnarök is gonna get delayed to early 2022, I’d be shocked if we actually see Horizon AND God of War come out this year, I think Horizon’s coming out Fall 2021 instead.IDK about this forecast. It implies that Ragnarok will launch several months before March 2022. Maybe the game is way further along than I expected.

No official figures, and we won't likely get official numbers from MS. 3.5M - 4.5M would be a good guess at this stage.how does it compare to numbers for xsx/xss
SameThis is absolutely insane considering I still haven’t even seen a PS5 in real life!
Nintendo numbers are coming next month. Thread should be interestingBut Switch is selling well in Japan guys!
i think Sony knows that some of the big titles might be getting delayed this year. Perhaps a big hitter like Call of Duty (+ there are rumors).Why are they forecasting a decrease in sales of non-first-party titles and add-on content? That seems weird.
Maybe they are expecting third parties to go next-gen only and not being able to keep up?
Turns out people still want traditional gaming console experience in 2021. Who would have thought! /sThis only proves that the demand is extremely higher than last gen, much higher. Crazy numbers indeed and their goal was 7.4M by the end of the fiscal year but they managed to have 400K extra. This demand extends to xbox, gaming PC as well. It's great that many though mobile games actually will make consoles irrelevant, which is not the case.
Maybe they expect a drop after covid. MAUs already went down so maybe that was the indicator?Why are they forecasting a decrease in sales of non-first-party titles and add-on content? That seems weird.

But shouldn't also affect first-party titles?Maybe they expect a drop after covid. MAUs already went down so maybe that was the indicator?
maybe, but they making a huge profit by selling games and ps+ subscription on these consoles that's the whole piontIt actually burns money, lol. Selling 7.8M PS5's would cost around $3.9B and probably along with logistics it should mean a total of at least $500M loss.
Wonder what drives it’s sales. I am poised to sell mine and I am still able to get really good money for it.
It’s only really worth getting for Demons Souls as is now. Games being €80 for itreally hurt it for me. Demon's Souls is great though and still the reigning king of the new gen systems but was it worth getting one for it it? Kinda maybe yes but after finishing it like 3 times with platinum trophy im done with the game.
And after also playing upgraded Sekiro in 60 fps a bunch it has gone largely unused for weeks and weeks.
I will probably pick one up again in 2 years or so when more games are out I wanna play. Neither Returnal or Ratchet and Clank are games I’m gonna pay up €80 for.

It depends from country to country, I would say that in Japan mobile gaming has already made the consoles kind of irrelevant. I am living in Japan, but am forced to play mostly mobile games (for me Switch), because the culture here is different. A majority of people commute to work here using trains or buses and here in Japan a very long commuting time its very common. I myself need to commute nearly 2 hours one way and many people have even longer commuting times. So you nearly have no free time at home and therefore gaming time is mainly restricted to the commuting times, where you only have the choice between your phone or switch.This only proves that the demand is extremely higher than last gen, much higher.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to play more console games, but for me and many other Japanese it's not a real option.
In America or other countries people tend to commute more by car and if not, they have mostly a shorter commuting time, where it's not really worth to play. So for the foreseeable future I cannot see consoles getting irrelevant, because they will always be more powerful than mobile phones due to the different sizes.
Retail software is only 5% of the total revenue. Holy crap.
Bruh, these numbers are for the entire year. Has nothing to do with scalpers. It's just that retail is basically dead.Well, scalpers don’t buy games. Why should they?
Yes, scalpers bought the majority of systems and they still do, but people will buy the consoles from them to play games and these will need to buy games.Well, scalpers don’t buy games. Why should they?
