By my guesstimation... PS5 should be hitting 20m sometime in May while the Series will hit 20m by November. PS5 seems to be about 2mo behind the PS4 while the Series is 6mo ahead of the XBO.

2.9m behind last quarter, probably over 3m behind now.

am i seeing that right...? Series sold 12k units in JP for the week... that is crazy considering it was 4k the week prior. And only 1600 units behind the PS5 in EU (PS strongest market) is also a sight to behold.

Even still... its impressive to see it move so many in Asian territories when you see how shunned the XBO was over there.

I recently had the option to buy a Switch OLED and 10 games and 2 controllers for a highly discounted price. The cost was insane, even used. You buy an Xbox Series X, use old controllers that you can buy for almost nothing, and get game pass and voila, you've saved so much money. That's the reason.

It's easy to sell more when you don't have ps5 on the market, wait for the market to improve and we'll see the real demand. remembering that Microsoft has the series s which should be half of sales since it is an easier console to manufacture and more chips available. Sony uses the same chip for both consoles.

Shouldn't you be on Twitter? Most of us know the PS5 would be selling more if they could. Does that make you feel better? Stop making outlandish claims that VGC is purposely holding ps5 sales numbers because it's crap.

I don't understand why some of you are taking off merits of the S Series, as if it were "second class" sales. Microsoft realised that the new generations were becoming too expensive and difficult to produce. They took a risk, decided to diversify the offer, and they are succeeding. I think they deserve more praise than criticism.

when sony releases its official numbers this site will regret it and will have to update the ps5 numbers. Sony has already said that they would ship 2 million units in the fiscal quarter bringing the ps5 to 19.3 million units you are not in agreement with what Sony has announced.

Maybe you missed it when Sony DID release their official numbers (a couple months back) and this site DID adjust them (down) for the PS5.

smroadkill15 jvmkdg (on 18 April 2022)

Why would they regret it? If the numbers are off, they will adjust accordingly. It's not some fanboy conspiracy you are making it out to be. As it stands, Xbox has been shipping way more consoles and we have seen this from places having more stock online and in stores, while the PS5 still really hard to find.

Microsoft has not released any official numbers until today. How do they know how many xbox sold? S sony and nintendo release every quarter, xbox may be increasing xbox number by 1 million units and no one knows.

Do you realise that Sony may not have been able to meet their forecast?

Sogreblute jvmkdg (on 18 April 2022)

You do realize forecasts can be missed right? They are just predictions. Sony's original forecast for the fiscal year was 14.8 million then it changed it 11.5 million. It could actually be less than that, but we will find out soon.
