I absolutely love how much everyone at Push Square has an axe to grind with the Blops ports. Every chance to throw shade is taken. 😂

I wonder if Switch two will beat the PS5 overall sales eventually?

US market... "But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes."

Really surprised to see Echoes of Aincrad: Sword Art Online doing so well. Imagine how well it'd do if it were a well-made game.

You can only just laugh at it all 🤣🤣🤣
But that’s what Sony wanted higher dollar sales for making less product which creates more profit over less manufacturing costs.

Well Sony won this one gamers.

@tameshiyaku I love both the quote and the film!

I've said this before, and I will say this again.

If Sony is to feel the effects of this, it will not be now. It will be in 2028, or whenever they try to market the PS6

The reason for the rising sales numbers might be a random game with a November release.

Don't worry big N. Soon you will get my money when i get Switch 2 + a copy of Metroid Dread and Bayonetta 2.

Always nice when these reports come out after days/weeks of dooming and claims that PlayStation is failing

Somebody should tell those guys who are planning that weeks protest against Sony about this!
They will be replaced within the week they are planning to protest!

@somnambulance Exactly. The loyal base doesn't matter anymore; it's the casuals and shareholders.

Curious to see if PlayStation beats switch 2 in units sold in November with gta 6.

Why are we comparing per dollar? Oh I know that’s all Sony care about.

Nothing bad can ever be a #1 seller! 😂

@wildcat_kickz it's embarrassing tbh.

Knew what they were getting and still complain 🥴

Are we not calling it the "Disc Debacle" anymore, as it becomes increasingly apparent it was never that big of a deal?

@ShadowRJ 100%

Also worth considering that if Microsoft can get their head out of their a** long enough to not f*** up the Helix and Nintendo continues their streak of offering a very comparable experience to the high-end consoles, the PS6 is going to be a much harder sell for the casual audience that flipped a gasket over Blops2. Not to mention the price can easily kill their market potential therein.

@nyr2k2 Don't say that, or PS won't have anything to write about

@ShadowRJ the cumulative effect of no discs, hardly any single player games, $1000+ console and Sonys relentless drive into live service (which can be played anywhere) will have a massive impact on sales. Just because we haven’t seen an instant impact people are fooled into believing this is a storm in a tea cup.

It’s more expensive, so it made more off of less sales. Okay…

No one is going to see backlash over the discs any time soon. People seem to be expecting an instant response, and they shouldn’t. The real story here is that there’s a 10% drop year-over-year. Digital, physical…doesn’t matter. People are buying less of the thing in general, in a market where they’re already cutting jobs and re-structuring.

Surprised to see Forza 6 there in terms of sales, with it being gamepass day 1

I wouldn’t expect Sony to feel any fallout of the disc situation until the ps6 gen if they do at all.

Forza Horizon 6 is about to get it's release date on PS5 announcement at gamescom so expect to see it shoot up the charts even further by years end.

@RoomWithaMoose I don't have faith in any of them to be honest. I'm expecting Xbox to release the most powerful but most expensive machine, Nintendo will continue with the switch 2 and will get left behind quicker than the others. Sony will be somewhere in the middle but still prohibitively expensive and after an underwhelming gen.
All that to say, all the platforms are going to struggle next gen but that it will mostly come down to cost for the consumer.
I hope I'm wrong but I don't expect to upgrade immediately and the cross gen will be the longest yet so I'm not too concerned.

Both the PS5 and Switch 2 are selling very well especially given the fact that thanks to AI their prices have gone in the wrong direction.
