PlayStation 5 is the fastest selling console in US history in both unit and dollar sales

[Loudninja]

Think this deserves its own thread, very impressive stuff they obviously getting the units out there.

 

[Cyberia]

Jim back at it again

 

[Musubi]

Fake News. Obviously Jimbo Ryan is dragging the Playstation brand towards doom. /s

 

[Browser]

Imagine when the logistics and production issues are resolved?

 

[Mung]

PS5 = beast.

Kudos to Jim.

 

[LilScooby77]

Yet we close down studios?

 

[ciddative]

PS4 PS5 is a beast.

A fricking elusive and hard to find beast, but a beast

Yet we close down studios?

Just because a business is doing well doesn't mean they suddenly stop caring about divsions or aspects underperforming in their eyes.

 

[s y]

Even though Japan studio got downsized?

 

[DigSCCP]

Can you imagine the numbers if it had a better narrative ?!

 

[The Last One]

This is really insane.

 

[ShinUltramanJ]

Well yeah, scalpers are immediately snapping consoles up like never before.

These aren't normal times.

 

[el_galvon]

That's a rough narrative. Don't know if Jimbo is the guy to turn things around. /s

 

[Fisty]

So is this a legitimate enough metric or will we need to move the goalposts again

 

[RisingStar]

Turmoil at PlayStation empire as Jim Ryan keeps selling consoles despite availability outrage.

 

[NattyBo]

LOL you'd think from the narrative on Era nobody wants a PS5

 

[GooberDooberCBC]

They are killing it! Can't wait for their Summer event.

[Ryengeku]

Something something, trajectory was already set, something something, Jimbo sucks.

 

[edo_kid]

So this is the damage of that petition... poor Jimbo is only a matter of time until he gets fired... lol

 

[FGLS1992]

Impressive feat, all things considered

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

Lol dollar sales. /s

 

[YozoraXV]

And this is why Jim does what he does and will keep doing what he does, he knows Playstations will sell regardless.

 

[score01]

This is mighty impressive especially given the current doom and gloom on Era regarding the PS5.

 

[EagleClaw]

Fastest selling console in US history is kinda crazy.

But i'm not sure if those metrics are meaningful enough. /s

 

[jroc74]

Units??

Excuse me?

 

[RavenK92]

This is just more proof that no matter what people on here may be saying because of the daily Sony and Jim Ryan negative threads, ResetEra in fact remains a bubble that is not indicative of the gaming industry as a whole and Sony is raking it in with PS5

 

[Scottoest]

Quick, everyone make the same pithy Jim Ryan joke.

like he had anything to do with any of the sales right now. He could be replaced with a wet rag and the ps5 would still be selling out.

 

[m051293]

I think it should be specified "through 5 months", because we're going to have this headline every month (4 months was also the case).

Fastest selling console in history? Pfff, call me back when it's the fastest selling console of the future

/s

 

[Expy]

Great to see the success PlayStation is seeing early on.

You really have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[Servbot24]

I don't understand how, it still feels completely impossible to actually buy one.

 

[Muitnorts]

Scalpers wouldn't be buying consoles if they couldn't quickly sell them on for profit

 

[Zebesian-X]

Which is higher? Number of PS5's sold or number of Gamers' dogs shot by Jim Ryan?

 

[Maximo]

I was about to say when does the 'BUT THE SCALPERS' dribble starts but it already has.

 

[Nameless]

I'm a PlayStation fan but what an unfortunate, slightly embarrassing string of posts so far.

 

[Strike]

Won't stop the doomposting.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

This really just proves how much of a bubble places like Era are. The masses just don't care about the same things we do.

 

[Anomander]

Booooooring!

It's almost as if folks scalp products that are highly desirable and have high demand. Do you think scalpers are purchasing these items and just keeping them on shelves?

 

[Mr.Fletcher]

Jim back at it again

Click to shrink...

Literally made me lol.

Awesome to see the PS5 doing so well. I love mine and am excited for the future.

 

[Ambient]

Yeah but what about the narrative?

 

[janusff]

deserved. great console

 

[illmatic22]

But the Narrative!

 

[Stacey]

But Jim Ryan?
But Japan Studio?
But Gamepass?
But Backwards Compatibility?
But Digital Foundry Face-Offs?
But Days Gone 2?

Yada Yada Yada Resetera!

Congrats Sony
