The PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console worldwide with 1,285,514 units sold for February 2024, according to VGChartz estimates. The PlayStation 5 has now sold an estimated 55.47 million units lifetime worldwide.
The Nintendo Switch sold an estimated 773,821 units to bring its lifetime sales to 138.50 million units. The Xbox Series X|S sold 358,794 units to bring their lifetime sales to 28.04 million units. The PlayStation 4 sold an estimated 6,363 units to bring its lifetime sales to 117.16 million units.
When the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S first launched all the way back in 2020, console sales were not what either platform manufacturer wanted them to be. The pandemic slowed things down more than ever before, even though in the case of each next-gen console, all the units that were manufactured, sold.
Of course that didn’t last, and soon manufacturing limitations on the consoles were a thing of the past, and sales started to leap forward. For one next-gen console platform, at least.
I can see why Microsoft is putting their games on PlayStation with these numbers
Imagine how many copies of future games like Elder Scrolls VI, Blade, Indiana Jones and more they could sell if they went fully multiplatform.
Sony would probably be selling more if they stopped sending mixed signals about their future. Putting games on PC because you are taking data analytic advice from Microsoft about the future of consoles is folly and has limited their potential sales. Microsoft want Sony and the world to believe that consoles are done as a business so companies like Sony and Nintendo etc can end up serving Microsoft's platform. Remember when it comes to Microsoft "It is us or no one and the three E's" Don't fall for it.
Sucker Punch’s massive samurai adventure Ghost of Tsushima has come under fire because of the PSN requirement. However, unlike Helldivers 2, things are a lot different and more logical this time.
"Sony has made it clear long before its release that the PSN requirement is strictly for the online multi-player Legends mode in Ghost of Tsushima and the PlayStation overlay. Online connection or PSN is not applied to the single-player campaign, which is honestly what the game is all about."
Legends clearly was based around using the pan they hardly want to have to design a whole new account structure just to play it, that's alot of effort and work. Ultimately people kicked up a fuss despite there being workarounds in most of those territories that people with a ps console have used over there for literally like 15/16 years. This is the consequence of that, be careful what you wish for or demand because you don't necessarily get to pick the method by which you get it.
Alchemist: The Potion Monger is available now of PC and consoles, and this review will tell you why it shouldn't be overlooked.
Oh my god, Xbox sales are depressing ..
PS5 outselling xbox s and x combined 4:1
Its a massacre. Nothing short of a massacre. No, at this point its kerbstomping a corpse.
The announcement of xbox exclusives going to PS has really hurt the xbox sales it seems.
The beat-down is so shocking, people can't look away.
