In case anyone misread the headline the way I did: The PS5 is selling about the same as the PS4 did at this point in its lifespan. The headline kind of makes it sound like the PS4 is still selling as many consoles as the PS5 today.
Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that it's selling that well at all, considering how much of this generation has just been remasters of PS4 games.
Thats not misreading, thats them not being clear.
On purpose.
Thank you, yes. That's a bad headline.
I understood what it was saying. I don't think it's a bad headline.
It's interesting to hear, honestly. And would be interesting to dive in if that's related to age, culture, country etc.. But a little too complicated for analyzing that here.
Yes, this means they sold a lot of PS5s, very surprising. The PS4 was extremely successful
