PlayStation being down more than a half million worries me a bit. I wonder if, Astro Boy and Lego Horizon can boost PS5 in Europe.
It' "only" down by 20%, those 7.9M last year were for the entire year, not YTD.
But even then being down 20% isn't exactly great, especially in it's fourth year when the two first years haven't exactly been stellar either.
I’m sorry, but could you clarify what you mean here Bowser pfp? The person you are responding to only mentioned that PS5 was down >0.5mil YoY, and that this statistic was alarming to them. Never mentioned 7.9mil figure, I don’t believe.
When I read it, it said being down more than half, the word million was missing. Not sure if he edited it or if the browser messed up, but without that word the meaning of the sentence was very different, hence I commented on it.
