On a time-aligned basis (same number of months in market), as of May 2023 PS5 unit sales in the U.S. were tracking 3% above PS4 and 83% higher than PS3. Source: Circana. https://t.co/VzI2sFD5zR

Think it'll beat PS4 in the end?

I'm still so out of touch with PS5's success. PS4 for me personally was a massive new gen that ushered in a new generation of gaming. Meanwhile I hardly turn on my PS5.

I think we just grew as people and don't care about gaming as much as we did back then.

Nah that can't be it.

Depends on what the games look like.

PS4 (2013 - 2016)	PS5 (2020 - 2023)
Killzone: Shadow Fall Knack Driveclub InFamous Second Son InFamous First Light LittleBigPlanet 3 The Order 1886 Until Dawn Tearaway Unfolded Ratchet & Clank Uncharted 4 The Last Guardian	Demon's Souls Sackboy: A Big Adventure Spider-Man Miles Morales Astro's Playroom Returnal Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart God of War Ragnarok Horizon: Forbidden West Gran Turismo 7 Horizon Call of the Mountain Helldivers II Spider-Man 2

There are some remasters/remakes, and some smaller games that could have been added to either list (moreso on the PS4 list).

But overall, I feel like it's pretty comparable.

Fun questions...

PS5 is the 2nd fastest selling PlayStation console in the US market (behind PS2)

With 32 months in market, the 3 fastest selling hardware platforms in the US since 1995 (as far back as Circana data goes) are the Wii, GBA and PS2. https://t.co/gMhUjYH01F
