They beat PS4 peak year of 20m consoles by 800K on the hardware side.
Still thinking that will come around the time of the PS5 Pro to let them price everything more appropriately. I'm still hoping for:
$399 - PS5 Digital
$449 - PS5 Disc
$499 - PS5 Pro Digital
$549 - PS5 Pro Disc
That's another factor sure. As I mentioned above though, I do think the Pro will bring in the price reduction for the base PS5 too, so that may have occurred if the Pro had launched this past holiday. I wouldn't be surprised if they're able to hit another 20 million this current FY on the back of the Showcase, the PS5 Pro and the possible release of GTA6.
What is this pic from?Hell ya! We can finally get this up on the side of that hotel in Los Angeles.
How does that make sense when they're trying to buy Paramount
11.5 billion for M&A for the next 3 years? Lower than what they've had the past 3 years, IIRC (figure escapes me at the moment). I presume this doesn't include the potential cost for Paramount.
Yes. It's on page 15 https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/pdf/23q4_sonypre.pdf
It's 500Billion Yen more.
I believe that they decreased it at some point. The issue is that Yen value has went down massively in the past few years. It is now roughly 150 Yen to 1 Dollar
Ahh cool. My brain is stupid 😁
Welp, based on the numbers I'm seeing posted, the PS5 is currently only 800k behind the PS4 when launch aligned. With the Pro coming and the release of GTA6, I have zero doubt that the PS5 is gonna sail well past the PS4 soon enough.
Does it actually mean anything though? Seems like they can just ignore that and go ahead and try and buy Paramount/ zee/ that other one that surfaced recently.
Helldivers impact is definitely hugely felt in these figures. Hope they can continue to make it a success.
You are right, its just a reported target for shareholders, but everyone knows that if an opportunity presents itself (ie Paramount), this figure can change wildly.
Wonder if they will get asked about paramount during the q&a actually
That's true, with the hardware and software split that's likely the case. I wonder how much freedom and power he ultimately has and if he's gonna shake things up. Gonna be interesting.
Lmao wait now I just wanna listen to that bomb ass intro song 😭
When you look at the massive price difference between the two it is even more impressive how good PS5 is actually selling.
crazy that PS5 might temporarily jump ahead of PS4 launched aligned numbers after the combo of Pro + GTA6 hits
Ya know what, I don't care even if Sony does give an official sales prediction that differs, I think this current FY will have a solid chance of shifting more consoles than last FY did. Between the Pro, a potential price cut (my guess) and the hype of GTA6 which very well might land next year, I think that alone will help to push the PS5 to new heights. Then add on the hype of whatever else Sony shows at their Showcase(s)
Yeah sounds like it, as even with his new role the development, publishing and business operations of 1st party content is still his responsibility.
Jim Ryan is the most successful exec in PlayStation history.

You all would hate me so much if I was in charge of PS
You would better love narrative driven choice games.
Because that is all I would greenlight
Yup.
B-b-b-but SonyToo!
The industry!
Yeah.
I can already see five Until Dawn sequels, all PSVR2 exclusives.
Right?! I'm ready for the negative spin, LOL
Never mind that every tweet of his reads like it has salty ulterior motives, LOL.
Edit: LMAO that didn't take long. He's so predictable and unprofessional.

The Sony suits when they see Supermassive getting Naughty Dog budgets would be worth it though.
