That's awesome. I wonder if someone will do a comparison chart.

And these still haven't really hit saturation yet, I only occasionally run across them at Walmart and Target.

When a scalper buys one, it counts toward the total.

I'm more curious what the actual number of users are for the console, rather than the sales, as there still could be countless thousands sitting because scalpers bought them when they were scarce.

However, it is nice to see them for sale in stores, and not just on ebay or some other online marketplace at a substantial mark up from msrp.

One of the factors that has prevented the ps5 from selling more besides the limited supply that lasted for awhile is the fact that a number of the titles released were and still were being released on the ps4.

however this year marks the end of games being produced for the ps4 so if developers start to invest and make more exclusive ps5 games. the demand should increase further now. We shall see how it goes.

The PS5 has no games to show case the console! It’s been out for years with nothing clearly released for the pS5. I mean the titles released are small upgrades from the ps4. I will continue to wait. Finish playing things on the ps4.

I wouldn’t call being able to run a game in 120 FPS a small upgrade especially since Sony decided to make the Slim’s the current standard for the 4’s which unlike the Pro can’t do 120 FPS.
