For sure. MM, Sackboy, DeS Remastered, Returnal & Ratchet with Horizon, GoW2 and GT7 all scheduled within the next 15 months. Pretty insane.

still no Knack 3 tho

 

[DenchDeckard]

Those are shipped to retail numbers too by Microsoft too whilst Sony’s is sold to customers, Sony next quarterly review we will find out the shipped to retail numbers.

You mean sold to scalpers? Lol

Seriously though. They are all sold and will be for some time.

 

[ArcaneNLSC]

how they even manage to ship that many with all the supply issues and the pandemic?

plenty of people got one. 90% of my friends list on psn already has a PS5.

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

It's a marathon, not a sprint

Regardless, congrats to Sony and PS5 on the milestone. Looking forward to getting one for myself either late this year, or early 2022. I just don't have time to play ro-sham-bo waiting on drops all day for these consoles xD.

Where are you based? The UK, US or Canada?

I used a retail stock tracker website that emailed me when stores in Canada get stock. Got my email at 2am one fateful morning while I was still up doing... well, that's not important. But I jumped on it and two weeks later I was a very happy PS5 owner enjoying 120Hz crucible gameplay in Destiny 2.

Oh deffo, I managed to get two

 

[Hawking Radiation]

You mean in hibernation. Cause it’s extremely hard to get one.

Waiting for the "PS5 is in short supply" excuse ..

EDIT: too late

Just to elaborate its easy to get a PS5 now compared to a year ago

 

[Portugeezer]

That SSD really is fast.

 

[Heisenberg007]

"Small thing but would love to see" how many they could have sold in a short time with all that momentum they had built.

Not including xbox in this statement because PS is more global brand.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Also, Sony will be making profits on each PS5 sold from July onwards. With such high demand, it'll be wonderful for operating profit.

 

[Darius87]

i love how MS combining 2 different consoles just to make numbers look bigger against PS5, classy MS.

Don Mattrick is fuming

Mattrick goes Clintonesque, claims first to 10M in U.S, re-iterates "1st to 10M wins"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080514/tc_nm/microsoft_xbox_dc_2 Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) said on Wednesday its Xbox 360 game machine beat Nintendo Co Ltd's (7974.OS) Wii and Sony Corp's (6758.T) PlayStation 3 to reach 10 million units in U.S. sales. "History has shown us that the first...

He doesn't care. He nearly sank the XBox ship and then went to Zynga to kill their business.

Remember all those post about PS4 being a success because the competition was weak? MS shot themselves in the foot and the Wii U was a flop, ect...

But but this time it will be different because the competition is better. Game pass is the best value in gaming and will disrupt the market and so forth. Yeah, that didn't age well.

PS5 is selling better than the PS4 even with "stronger competition" and at a higher price point.

Er PS5 has 2 consoles too remember. And it doesnt work like that, most people will be buying one or the other, not both of them.
Think before shitposting.

Here in the U.K. & Europe it ain’t hard getting a series s, x is tough though & ps5 is super tough but i managed to get 4 and sold 3 to my friends (retail price, made no profits).

 

[MrHydra933BR]

And a lot of those are still in the hands of scalpers .

that's not shitposting it's same as xbox one digital edition blu-ray drive doesn't affect game experience while XSS does. you shit defending MS right now, better tell me how many XSX are sold.

Uhh this isn't like comparing a PS4 to PS4 slim. It's like 3DS to New 3DS. It has different hardware.

You are stupid. Having 2 consoles doesnt mean you get double sales.
Xbox Series has 2 versions at different prices. PS5 has 2 versions at different prices. Consumrs will pick which version they want. They dont buy both consoles.
Did we have seperate sales numbers for XB1/OneX and PS5/PS4 Pro?, of couse not.
Wake up.

Dude. All console manufacturers are selling more than ever. That includes Nintendo, MS and Sony. A reasonable gamer would be happy that the industry is healthy but some people just have to take the success of their device of choice to bed like it’s their wife.

 

[LectureMaster]

Contributed two of them. Still trying to get a third for another friend.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Probably has already been said a bunch of times already, but it would be exponentially higher if people could actually get these easily.

 

[hemo memo]

Yet Sony leaning more and more towards PC which is stupid on multiple levels and pushing people more and more towards your direct competitor.

They are stupid to buy something over and over again that no one wants, right?

actually sony does both ways but MS won't do both ways, stupid.

 

[amigastar]

Congrats to Sony, they deserve it. Made some good decisions this gen.
And that coming mainly from a PC Player.

So you don't even have one and yet you were all over this board complaining about the PS5 upgrade of Ghost of Tsushima, even making threads and polls about it with your fake outrage

How are they pushing people to their direct competitor? Are you meaning xbox?

PC ports aren't a big deal.

 

[michaelius]

Looking back it's miracle i managed to get one in January for recomended price as they still sell out in minutes when new shipment arrives

 

[Calverz]

Wat

 

[TheBomb]

now we are all friends

 

[Calverz]

I feel this was a much needed morale boost for the PlayStation nation.

If your direct competitor releases everything on PC and Sony still puts console gamers 1st then it's a win win for Sony

More money for bigger and better PS5 exclusives

Exactly this.
PC gets old ports from PlayStation. ( Horizon, Days Gone)
XBox gets old ports from PC. ( FS2010, Gears Tactics)

I don't mind either and tbh I'd be more inclined to PC gaming if it wasn't reliant on Windows although Steam has been making strides on Linux, it's just not quite there yet.

dont know how i managed either. the page was glitching and all sorts of shit but somehow i managed to scrape an order through. its crazy that it sold 10m already when you literally have to go out of your way just to get one. if it was readily available they could have doubled that 10m easily.

Lmao we aren’t even a year in and you think this worries MS??

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Don't think his point has anything to do with whether MS is worried or not

 

[MasterCornholio]

That PlayStation is so strong that they can sprint a full marathon?

Maybe they got the Jamaican guy running for them?

 

[Thirty7ven]

Lmao we aren’t even a year in and you think this worries MS??

I agree, MS shouldn’t be worried at all, Xbox fans are used to third place, this is non news for them.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Lmao we aren’t even a year in and you think this worries MS??

microsoft are irrelevant to sony. xbox is small potatoes compared to playstation. 4 generations in and they still havent been the top dog even once. sony managed it on their first damn try and broke the record for systems sold! like i said... small potatoes. there is no competition. PS wins before the generation even starts.

 

[reinking]

You mean sold to scalpers? Lol

Why do people keep bringing this up? Those scalpers are not buying the consoles to sit on them. They are making their way into the hands of impatient gamers.
