Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com reported on March 12 that despite supply problems, the PlayStation 5 has made a good start, with 32.1 million units shipped so far. Sony executives expect that number to at least double in the next few years as the company ramps up production and manufacturing of systems.

Can PS5 outsell PS4? It's hard to say, but as far as CTOnews.com knows, PS5 has not yet reached the shipments of PS4 in the same period. PS4 shipped 37.9 million units in the nine quarters after its launch, compared with 32.1 million for PS5, according to the data. Sony did not say whether the PS5 would beat PS4, but the company is confident that its new PlayStation will sell more than 6000 million units.

"I think we have a good chance of more than 60 million, and as you probably know, in the era of PS4, we sold more than 100 million consoles." Hiroki Totoki, president and chief operating officer of Sony, said at the recent Morgan Stanley technology conference at 10:00.

10:00 Yuki stressed that the PS4 user base may eventually shift to PS5 and that Sony has achieved efficient user acquisition through its new system: "We have very loyal PS4 users (they may turn to PS5). We designed PS5 to provide a better user experience, and surprisingly, current data show that 30% of PS5 owners do not own PS4. We got new users through PS5. This provides us with a good potential to expand and increase the ecosystem penetration of PS5. We have also brought our own games to the PC platform and mobile platform, which provides a good opportunity for us to increase our monthly active users (MAUs) in the future. "

At 10:00 Yushu was asked when the PlayStation 5 would peak. Usually, the hardware of the console generation will peak in the fourth year after launch, and the software will peak in the fifth year. However, the COVID-19 epidemic disrupted the market order. When will PS5 peak? Uizuka was not sure, but he said Sony expected to "continue to sell" after the fourth year of the PS5 launch.
