Sony has always been really optimistic about the sales of its consoles, they know that they have a really wide audience who largely do not care too much about paying to have a quality product, although as we well know, the arrival of the PS5 Pro It has been marked by controversy, mainly due to the fact that it does not include too many improvements for it to really cost €800. But the company is not afraid of people’s criticism, and they even indicate that the PS5 Pro is being more profitable at its launch than the PS4 Pro.
PlayStations have been a part of the video game industry for almost 20 years, and as we know, the first model hit the market in 1994, which has taken the company on a journey of trying to improve themselves. in sales, since they have the best-selling console in history, and according to what they indicate, despite the public reception that the PS5 Pro has had, it is being more profitable than we think.
PS5 Pro sales forecasts are better than the PS4 version when it came out
Over the last few weeks we have seen how both sony as the company’s users have declared that the PS5 Pro It is a complete success, both in terms of sales and hardware, since according to the company itself, it is likely to sell more units than we believe despite having a price of €800.
In this regard, the company’s financial director has assured that sales of the Pro version of this generation could end up surpassing those of the PS4 Pro, since in the same period (as long as the PS5 Pro has been on the market ), this new version has sold more than the previous generation.
According to Hiroki Totoki, the company does not have too many concerns related to the price of the console, since it is having an even better reception than they believed, going so far as to indicate that it is performing better than the previous generation:
“My impression is that the product is slightly outperforming PS4 Pro pre-orders over the same period, so I don’t think it’s negatively impacting the product’s sales plan.”
It must be remembered that in order to exceed the sales that the PS4 Prothe new generation should sell approximately 24 million units, since the sales of this version represented approximately 20% of the total fourth generation consoles sold by Sony. This may be a bit complicated, since we must take into account that the PS5 at the moment is not even close to what the PS4 sold, since we are talking about a model that sold 117 million units compared to another, which at the moment , has sold about 60 million, something that would greatly complicate the company’s forecasts, both being very far from the 160 million that the PS2 sold.
