Nice to see availability on the increase in time for Christmas.

There will be lots of happy new system owners this holiday.

Almost by 2 mil units. This is why Phil is throwing in the towel and going all in on Candy Crush.

[Eonjay]

That's 2 million for this year so far. By the end of this year you should expect that to balloon to at least 5 million units and the total gap to rise to at least 12 million. Also keep in mind that the PS5 was pretty much out of stock for the first half of the year. It has yet to be seen if Sony can achieve it's 18 million shipment goal for the FY.

[anast]

Yeah, those are insane numbers.

I do not think he has "thrown in the towel". That was one journalist's take on what he said.

[Babadook7]

Crazy to think other analysts are saying the gap is far bigger.

It is incredible how Microsoft with two models, a cheap, available everywhere and "easy" to manufacture one and other really next gen is selling less systems than Sony with a hard to manufacture one.
