Sony says PS5 is still supply constrained due to global supply chain issues + short supply of semiconductors. Sony expects to have over 22 million PS5s shipped by March 2022. It is currently at 13.4 million as of September 30.

Sony has added 4 PlayStation Studios since March 2021 and has increased its number of developers by almost 20%. Sony re-iterates that it will continue to develop new games for PS5 and utilise staff to deploy games on PC and mobile devices too.

so at least 4+ million PS5 sales per quarter until March 2022 then. do you think it's possible? knowing that the only time when PS5 hits 4+ million sales was on the launch window

This holiday quarter will have higher shipments. Probably 5-6m

Wow, even their forecast for PS5 is "it will remain exactly like early PS4." March 2015, PS4 was around 22.3m.
