… I get that this is a REALLY important topic to you - but the article also explains how the PS5 is much more expensive (inflation adjusted) at this point in time compared to the PS4. That’s very much part of “doing well”.
Also, that the PS4 numbers are included is no different from the PS3 before - and your claim was that Sony was losing customers at that.
I said perhaps, because our data is always lagging behind real time by a few months, and the difference between the two generations’ units sold is close enough that the gap could have been covered in the time it takes to report on it. We don’t know that it has, but it’s possible. Increased spending on exclusives, and fewer of them, has led to decreased margins on them, and the bulk of PlayStation’s revenue is coming from third parties that are available everywhere while PlayStation’s own games are going multiplatform as well, a thing that they never used to do. There’s no L for me to take here.

Take the L.
