I wouldn't count your chickens on this one.

Sony's presence in Japan is next to zero this generation and the battle for the west is going to be razor thin, especially with the Series S being more easily produced than the PS5.

If anything it's going to be very close like the PS3/360 generation. When the Bethesda games start dropping MS may actually best Sony by generations end.

I wouldn't be surprised if the PS5 wins December. As a person that was tasked to buy consoles for folks for Christmas, I can tell you there were TONS of PS5 drops across all retailers. And they all sold out. But the number of PS5 drops vs Xbox Series drops was incredibly in PlayStations favor. There were more PS5 drops this morning... The PS5 stock is obviously more plentiful than the Xbox stock.

That's a great anecdotal story but PS5 is going to finish third.

If Sony comes third I expect pretty much nothing to happen. Maybe even less 🤷🏻‍♂️.

You can expect it to happen many more times this generation.

Can you link us to the thread in question at installbase?

It's fairly irrelevant if you're not an actual member though because you can't read the posts. Approval takes a while. Only the best are recruited.

https://www.installbaseforum.com/forums/threads/npd-november-2021-call-of-duty-1-battlefield-2-pokemon-3-forza-horizon-4-switch-1-in-units-and-revenue-update-2-nsw-1-13m-xbox-2.340/page-10

Well that sucks :(. How about a referral?

I can't refer anyone unless I've known them for a while otherwise I'll get shit canned.

Hint though...they ask you to fill out some short essay to join. If you stand out they'll bring you on board.

I registered and filled out the 50 word essay. Thanks for pointing out the website! Hopefully they approve the registration. Seems pretty cool from what I can see.

No prob. It's not nearly as big as Resetera, but that's because they're so selective.

It's by far the best gaming community if you want access to insider info on hardware and sales. All the insiders and devs are there as I mentioned and left the other communities.

Two NPD tracking periods in a row. The biggest of the year.

Word at the installbase forums is that the well ran dry and Sony can't produce enough PS5's to finish anything but third place this generation, at least until the chip shortages are over which are estimated to be as far back as 2026.

Apparently the Xbox Series S is much easier to produce and MS really lucked out because it wasn't even planned for Covid shortages, as that was pre pandemic.

Anyway, I don't care what you guys believe. Stay tuned for this NPD and you'll see I'm a man who knows things.

If this type of stuff devastates you then you need to get some fresh air 😄

You have 34 thousand posts. I bet you're a massive Sony fan as well.

Look who's talking for someone that's supposed to be new around here. Anyone who is somewhat new hardly if ever cares about post counts.

He told me I needed to go out for fresh air and I noticed immediately he has over 30 k posts because it says right under his name like LOL man.

BTW, PS5 production has not stopped completely but they have by far the slowest supply lines of the big three.

This could impact the Playstation brand badly as they will be relegated to third place for the next several years.
