Because they have no other arguments to try and minimize PlayStation's success.

If you bought the console then you are kind of a share holder too. Because if the console doesn't sell, you won't get the games you bought the console for. Then, you throw it in the garbage can because you cannot sell it because no one give a fuck about it.

I signed up for alerts through Sony and was invited to purchase through PlayStation direct. Was super easy, got an email with a private invite telling me when to log in. Took five minutes. Been telling all my friends cause before that it was disappointment after disappointment.

You're mistake is that you're looking at NPD to determine global sales.
Your mistake is that you intentionally miss my point. I know you’re not that thick.

Well you're the one that brought June's NPD into this. And I would appreciate it if you didn't insult me as I don't believe I ever disrespected you here.

Id actually be interested to know how many people have played Astro. And how many completed itAstro's Playroom has an attach rate of 100%. 10 million copies sold. No other Sony exclusive will ever beat it.
Im hoping alot of people and it sets it up nicely to get a AAA sequel
I just said I respected your intelligence too much to believe that you didn’t understand my argument. Not sure why you choose to take it as insult.
i brought up people’s REACTION to the NPD numbers to compare it to the REACTION to PlayStation’s numbers. The double standard is shouting. It one case it’s a reflection of supply limitation and in the other it’s a reflection of one company’s utter dominance. The territory doesn’t matter at all to this honest comparison.
There, I broke it down to remove any ambiguity. Didn’t mean to offend.

Why can't it be both?
Sony outselling the competition while having supply issues. I know there's an issue with supply because the PS5 is extremely difficult to get. But even with that issue they still managed to sell over 10 million consoles.

Territory matters to an extent, especially for Xbox. They'll still sell all their consoles becuase they'll focus their shipments on areas where they can compete whereas Sony would just dominate them in areas they're not strong in, regardless of supply limitations

Not sure how many have played it, but the average platinum rate (not completion rate) for Astro on PSN Profiles is absurdly high. Out of the 104,000 people registered on the site who have played it, 60% have the plat.
Well.. that’s the problem with having it both ways. It’s disingenuous. And if I have to explain why, may be I apologised too soon earlier.
Intellectual honesty would require to keep the same energy everytime numbers are published. Unless you believe there are over 3 million Series consoles sitting on shelves worldwide.

That doesn't make any sense.
Why can't Sony sell 10 million consoles and still have shortages?
A shortage would be determined by the amount of demand in relation to supply. I this manner it's possible to supply 10 million consoles and have the demand vastly exceed that to create shortages.

Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022
I must of been extremely lucky. I got my ps5 2 months ago with barely looking. I got off of work and read Gamepost as I usually do and they have a ps5 tracker. Clicked it and it said playstation direct had them in stock. I paid and less than 2 days later FedEx delievered it. It's crazy after all this time on the market how hard they are to get.

That "double standard" works both ways. To some, Xbox winning June was the "turning point". To others, it was about availability during that month. So pick your poison.
And no one has ever said "I know you’re not that thick" in respect for someone's intelligence. Come on. That is pure sarcasm.

I lucked out again. I got a pair of these last month and waited 2 days. Amazon had them in stock.

Im sure if I look at the June NPD threads you'll be applying the exact same scepticism you are in here right?
You wouldn't be intellectually dishonest yourself, would you?

The way it's been in the US is that demand has exceeded supply which creates shortages. As long as that situation continues whoever wins the month is dependent on the supply. I'm not saying that either system is sitting on shelves but it's the supply that is currently determining the sales.
As for it indicating some sort of turning point for Xbox where it will continually outsell the PS5 every single month. That's difficult to determine since there's still shortages with both systems and currently the sales depend on the supply.
My guess is that Xbox will win some months while PlayStation will win others. This will mostly depend on who can supply the most until the demand falls below supply. Once that happens we can study better what consumers really want and study trends relating to the demand instead of the supply.
You’re refusing to include any parameter beyond Sony’s awesomeness into your assessment. It is your right. I never said Sony was not having shortages. I’m calling out the hypocrisy of not bringing up how the shortages affected the competition like it was done when the NPD numbers came out. I mean come on, you got that by now.
I’m happy that both manufacturers are selling well. I contributed to both sales tallies and I can’t wait for all the games. I’ll even get the director'scut version of Ghosts of Tsushima. There’s no shinier badge of unbias towards Sony.

I got mine by invitation directly from Sony.
If you look at those threads you won’t find any comments from me because I know both manufacturers are selling everything they make.

Why is the switch even in contention.. its a different form factor and target audience altogether

Actually you're the one who is to focused on Sony. I know Microsoft won the last NPD and I stated before that both are going through shortages. The only evidence that I've seen of a system not having a shortage is the XSS.
Not sure what you want me to say. Demand is higher for both but I can't tell you what it actually is due to the shortages.
There's no need to get annoyed by this.
So what's your issue with this news from Sony?
As I stated before it's all down to supply and Sony was able to supply more PS5s to the market than Microsoft has.
While I agree the demand for both is probably higher, history has typically favored Sony with higher demand. Even once supply gets fixed I still expect PlayStation to lead given how their consoles tend to have higher demand than Xbox.

Why do I feel like scalpers have like 8 millions of those. Literally still impossible to find a ps5 without paying ridiculous amount of money over retail price

But there was plenty of bragging comments from the NPD thread in the same way you are pointing out here. You don't have a problem with that, but you pointing it out here? That's a double standard.

Hold on a sec.
G Greggy is this what this is all about?
Just a complaint about what Sony fans said about the NPD results?
Just FYI I wasn't talking about fanboys complaining about things here. I was just reflecting on the data and the situation that we are in. Definitely not discussing people worshipping their brands at least that was never my intention.
And that is fair and balanced, unlike a very large portion of the reactions in this thread, as you probably can agree.
I have no issue with Sony stating what is surely a fact, just with the inconsistency of the reactions depending on which manufacturer is publishing numbers. But I should know what to expect on this forum by now. I only blame myself.
I’m not in the NPD thread confronting people who denounce the overreaction to the numbers (I hope you don’t take that personally). I think that would have been a double standard given what I have said in this thread. So I respectfully disagree.But there was plenty of bragging comments from the NPD thread in the same way you are pointing out here. You don't have a problem with that, but you pointing it out here?
