We can just copy paste this headline for the rest of the year. Maybe Starfield or Zelda steal a month but if u saw Sony's fiscal year PS5 projections they obviously knew this thing would sell cakes once stock was available. And tbh they haven't done much other than VR this year. Burning Shores and Forspoken. Still months away from XVI. It's funny, Within a span of 2 months Sony had Uncharted Remaster, Sifu, Forbidden West, GT7, terrible Babylon's Fall (still exclusive tho) and yet were dominated by XB. Ppl claimed stock had nothing to do with it lol. Obviously we see that was bs. I like my XB but this is just the truth. When PS5 was floundering it was purely stock related and it was pathetic how ppl spun it. Ppl can talk their bs but be at least a little real. Or informed.
Only a joker would have thought PS5 getting smacked by XB in essentially the month 2 of their biggest IP (Horizon, GT) release was anything other than stock. I remember XB crushed PS5 in JP a few weeks and fanboys were claiming it was legit. Cmon. Claims that stock impacted both similarly was ridiculous when S was always in stock. That was annoying to me. Even supposed neutrals trying to be impartial like "hey man, the stock issues hurt xb also". Nope. It helped them. A lot. Many who wanted a PS5 or X got an S. I did. It helped drive ppl to the GP ecosystem. XB was doing well for a while. Really well without releasing jack. It was a godsend. The perfect storm. I always said if there were no stocks issues this generation would mirror PS4 vs XB1.
Surpassed sales of the ps4 in the US! That's freaking great.
"The PlayStation 5 also in March set a new individual PlayStation sales record beating the previous record set by the PSP with 620,000 units sold."
Now that's impressive. That record has stood for a long time.
So worldwide domination.
