Same thing happened with PS4 Pro. I got mine a few weeks after launch for $330 on Amazon instead of $400. It still ended up comprising 20% of the PS4's install base.
Scalpers are always counted in all sales numbers for all consoles, but since this one didn't sell out on pre-orders, it was seen as readily available with no FOMO and was likely less scalped as a result. Orders were all able to be cancelled if scalping didn't seem high demand. My friend wanted a 30th Anniversary one just to scalp and didn't even bother to get a regular one because he knew he couldn't scalp it.
doesn’t matter, the fact that they actually bought it still stands as a sale and the fact that they are scalping goes to show how superior PS is over Xbox. xbox galaxy edition never ever will go out of stock because nobody wants that.
Holistically you have to take into account all the PS4 users that never upgraded to PS5 when looking at PS5 Pro sales. Wasn't the statistic like 50% of PS users are still only on PS4?? The sales numbers shouldn't be that surprising.

Yes. It's missed exactly seven months since it came out. These were months mostly before the expansion pass added those extra tracks and there were still PS5/PS4 that came out which knocked MK8D down far enough.
Talked about the game awards, completely dodged the controversy that a game that sold 20 million in black myth was completely rigged to stop it becoming a nominee, same as stellar blade. So it sounded wierd when you gave your choices outside the 3 guaranteed nominations. It sounded like a dodge to not mention them.
Oh goodie, looking forward to the corpo inspired GOTY for the Game Awards. Honestly, the only good things to watch the Game Awards for are game announcements and seeing Geoff as a tool for the gaming bigwigs every year.
My GOTY is Helldivers 2. After 500h, more than all other games in 2024 combined, there is no other choice. And I only bought the game because Jon said the server were full and that I can't get in ... XD
@ That’s hilarious. We’re in the top ten most affordable states to live within the United States. It was $2.54 for a gallon of gas yesterday. My mortagage is less than $600 a month. We’ve got plenty of infrastructure. We’ll be fine.
PS4 Pro sold around 14 million units over it's lifetime. Out of 117 total PS4 consoles. So around 12% of PS4's were a Pro. It will be interesting to see where the PS5 Pro ends up. And the PS5 disc drive could be the highest selling optical drive of all time.
Seeing the PS5 Pro not selling terribly but still not be out of stock gives me hope for the Switch 2. If Nintendo plays their cards right, they may be right about not having stock issues.
LMFAO PS5 Pro is not even remotely selling "terribly" LMFAO sorry kid its only been out for like a week and its selling faster than the PS4 Pro was in the same time period. NOBODY cares if it sells out or not except for the brain dead fanboys and grifters who want to pretend for clicks that its "selling so awful"...NOBODY was expecting it to sell 10 million in 7 days

I’m friends with a few of the GameStop managers in one of the largest US metro areas and they say the PS5 Pro is selling a steady pace. Not selling out immediately but people are buying the Pro over the disc model with more price conscious people buying used slim. Lots of people trading in their old systems for the Pro. I think Sony is going to have a very good holiday season.
I love the pro. I sold my series X for it. Not having to pick between quality mode and blurry performance modes is a big deal for me. Especially when we got bangers like MGS delta, monsterhunter, GTA6 and ghost of yotei next year
Don’t be surprised if Balatro is one of the GOTY nominations. I think a lot of people don’t realize how big this game is, especially among the games media and developer community.
It’s 100% my favorite game of the year. I’m not saying it’s THE game of the year, when you look at what all that encompasses. But for me personally, I had more fun with that game and put more hours into it than anything else. My girlfriend, who doesn’t even play console games, ended up taking my Switch Lite just to be able to play it and got hooked on it, too. It’s definitely my personal game of the year.
Well the industry in all of its corruption bumped off black myth So it depends on how much balatro paid off the press or organisations, or just how much social credit it would generate
Avowed is like an Atari or Commodore release back in the days. Amazing cover art that really makes you want to play the game because your imagination is running wild whenever you see it, while the in-game graphics look pretty generic and kinda meh.
To some degree, sure, but it's nice to have something you worked on for years be celebrated by the community. Happy for the developers that worked hard for years to be so publicly recognized.
What's just 13,000 units ahead of the PS4 Pro numbers that's it? I would expect a million ahead of the PS4 Pro but I guess because of the price we'll just have to wait and see if this will last until the end of December.
Avowed not getting a physical disc from Microsoft, a multi-trillion dollar company, is just absurd. But I expect it’ll get one in another 6-12 months or so, so I’ll just hold out. Worked for me so far.

@@Giliver It's funny seeing people continue to state that while someone like Linus trying to build a better computer for the same price. Despite buying used parts, some nonsense picks for equivalence, omitted some things, and not including the extra shipping costs, it still struggled in the performance comparisons. Credit to him for actually testing games though as most that made claims only had theoretical performance comparisons, and clearly they weren't very good at it. It's not as easy as just to look at theoretical specs when comparing console and PC. Even less so when you look at issues like micro stutter. And that's of course without pointing out that comparisons often are made without understanding of the obvious fact that many people tend to use consoles and PCs differently for gaming. Hence why many have both.
@@Adamtendo_player_1 Only poor people are worried about spending a little money on something they enjoy. If you're so envious of the TS for buying a Pro that you act like up like a kid I can only imagine how much you would spaz out when you see someone buy an RTX 4090, or build a gaming PC for $5k.

Clearly Switch 2 rumours havent slowed down Switch hardware sales in Japan, the PS5 Pro only just beat the Switch by 12 thousand units and no doubt the Switch will be back on top next month.
That’s because Japanese gamers have more sense than western gamers and don’t pay attention to stupid rumours. Japanese gamers and game developers are the gold standard of gaming.
I find it funny how there are nothing but nintendo games at the top of the sale chart in japan, despite the PS5 pro selling. Just goes to show you that Playstation fans don't buy games.
Nah it might just barely make it in. Remember we’re talking about Geoff’s event here. If it gets in, it’ll be because of the souls-like factor. That said, it has more of a chance than Stellar Blade.
Only if Square will get paid for it. It would be cool though is there would be a lot whole one universe around FF and KH, even if there would be a paid dlc.
I am surprised that not only is the PS5 PRO available at AAFES, but going for $680... tax-free. Any military personnel on here check it out before they are gone.
Swap out Astro Bot for Dragon Age. And they ain’t nominating Black Myth or Yakuza 😂 I’ll be shocked to see that or Stellar Blade. I think Helldivers 2 could get up there.
Many ps5 Pro’s in the shops everywhere I go here in Germany. Unlike the OLED and OG Ps5 when they came out they kept getting sold out. Seems like more than half of that amount were scalpers 😂
Could see this coming a mile away. Same discourse around the PlayStation Portal everybody thought would tank and it sold out. Fucking duh the Pro would do well.
Zelda echoes will be lucky to get a nomination in some catecory like "innovative gameplay" or something. No way for GOTY. Many far superior games out right now and Stalker 2 is coming as well
I’m liking my Pro. Even got a disc drive for some reason. I literally have no physical games so bought Avatar for $20 at Walmart to start my physical collection
@ we all have our hobbies man. I like tech so I bought one. I also have an Xbox. I like options and new innovative tech which I feel this is. I work, I wanted one, I got one..
I really haven't played any new games that came out this year. Mainly my backlog and replaying old retro stuff. I think the only game i got the year it came out was Tears of the Kingdom
I don't think The Game Awards should be allowed to be an owned title like the superbowl. Imagine having to talk about the game awards as the "big game awards show"
Yeah, Feb is packed. While Avowed is on my 'interested' category, there are tons of other games I am interested in coming out in Feb. I am already making the tough decision between two thousand hour games, civ or MonHun, let alone an unproven franchinse. Might get it later, with the next drought.
Animal Well Astro Bot Balatro Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Metaphor Re Fantazio There’s no rule saying only one “indie” allowed people.
I personally think no one. If people are willing to buy the Pro now as is, then are already plenty satisfied with Sony. Those who have not bought it yet could be tempted, but only if they are an enthusiast.
It is not surprising at all that SCALPERS purchased EVERY SINGLE UNIT that Sony produced so that it Technically "Sold Out". The only number that would accurately reflect how the ACTUAL gaming market feels about the PS5P would be; How Many if those 5P units have been powered on, linked to a Playstation account and are actually being used to PLAY GAMES? ... vs how many are still sealed in box in a Scalpers closet having never been booted up ONCE.

you just lied. He could not run Rebirth on a $700 PC the way it runs on a Pro.
Congratulations you’re the blind die hard Sony pony that Sony is was targeting the overpriced PS5 Pro towards, Sony fools and their money are easily parted, don’t ya just love em? 🤣🤣🤣
@@Giliver It's funny seeing people continue to state that while someone like Linus trying to build a better computer for the same price. Despite buying used parts, some nonsense picks for equivalence, omitted some things, and not including the extra shipping costs, it still struggled in the performance comparisons. Credit to him for actually testing games though as most that made claims only had theoretical performance comparisons, and clearly they weren't very good at it. It's not as easy as just to look at theoretical specs when comparing console and PC. Even less so when you look at issues like micro stutter.
And that's of course without pointing out that comparisons often are made without understanding of the obvious fact that many people tend to use consoles and PCs differently for gaming. Hence why many have both.
@@Adamtendo_player_1 Only poor people are worried about spending a little money on something they enjoy. If you're so envious of the TS for buying a Pro that you act like up like a kid I can only imagine how much you would spaz out when you see someone buy an RTX 4090, or build a gaming PC for $5k.
If you're a Nintendo Ninja in the comment section, please let us know.
I'm not giving away my presence.
@@notmousse you just did. Nintendo is so going to fire you for this slip up ;)
"Nintendo Ninjas" is a collective paranoid (and kind of racist) delusion fueled by people on Twitter only viewing the world through contrarian edgelords not understanding how the world works. A Nintendo employee can breathe weird and some asshole will lie about it and start some Twitter boycott to justify pirating newly released games lmao.
Game of the Year Nominee is Stellar Blade!!!!!!!
Spot on with the GOTY nominees, any other list would be criminal
Good points on the emulator. Thanks for covering it.
Now i have recovered 90% of my lost money may Allah keep blessing her for me
Please I need someone to put me through on how this crypto trading really works, I'm interested and willing to invest heavily in it.
Without a doubt! mrs Evelyn Infurna is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analyzing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted based on thorough research and years of practical experience..
I’m forever grateful to Evelyn Infurna
Waking up every 14th of each month to $210,000 it’s a blessing to I and my family… Big gratitude
Best signal provider in the market.
Knowledgeable, level headed (no loss like some other traders who recently jumped on the bandwagon).
Clearly Switch 2 rumours havent slowed down Switch hardware sales in Japan, the PS5 Pro only just beat the Switch by 12 thousand units and no doubt the Switch will be back on top next month.
That’s because Japanese gamers have more sense than western gamers and don’t pay attention to stupid rumours. Japanese gamers and game developers are the gold standard of gaming.
I find it funny how there are nothing but nintendo games at the top of the sale chart in japan, despite the PS5 pro selling. Just goes to show you that Playstation fans don't buy games.
What games?
Famitsu only tracks physical game sales, and as Sony’s data shows, 70-80% of PlayStation software sales are digital.
@@PaulPeavler
But those numbers are skewed including PlayStation plus monthly and the other classics.
Someone didn't watch the video 😂
It’s also because a lot of importing happens out of Japan, since other countries don’t get PS5 shipments.
Wukong GOTY, Shadow of the Erdtree Best DLC
Wukong is top 3. Stop it, dude.
Nah it might just barely make it in. Remember we’re talking about Geoff’s event here. If it gets in, it’ll be because of the souls-like factor. That said, it has more of a chance than Stellar Blade.
AstroBot better get some Final Fantasy cameos
Only if Square will get paid for it.
It would be cool though is there would be a lot whole one universe around FF and KH, even if there would be a paid dlc.
I am surprised that not only is the PS5 PRO available at AAFES, but going for $680... tax-free. Any military personnel on here check it out before they are gone.
Avowed looks like 1st person Dragon Age Veilguard
ANOTHER win for the PlayStation 😂😂😂😍😍🥰🥰😘😁😁😁🥰😍👏👏🥰⭐️😘🤣😘🥰🥰
Swap out Astro Bot for Dragon Age. And they ain’t nominating Black Myth or Yakuza 😂 I’ll be shocked to see that or Stellar Blade. I think Helldivers 2 could get up there.
My actual game of the year is Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. Other than that, it's Black Myth Wukong all the way
Many ps5 Pro’s in the shops everywhere I go here in Germany. Unlike the OLED and OG Ps5 when they came out they kept getting sold out. Seems like more than half of that amount were scalpers 😂
Epic continues to be the most morally aligned company in gaming.
Could see this coming a mile away. Same discourse around the PlayStation Portal everybody thought would tank and it sold out. Fucking duh the Pro would do well.
I agree your picks are possible but I think either Zelda Echoes, Beletro, or Animal Well have a chance of being there instead of Yakuza
Zelda echoes will be lucky to get a nomination in some catecory like "innovative gameplay" or something. No way for GOTY. Many far superior games out right now and Stalker 2 is coming as well
I’m liking my Pro. Even got a disc drive for some reason. I literally have no physical games so bought Avatar for $20 at Walmart to start my physical collection
Keep that physical alive. I buy 90-95 percent physical
Options are always better.
“I like the overpriced toy I bought… what no I’m not defending it because of buyers remorse! What no I didn’t buy it because I’m a good snoyboy!”
@ we all have our hobbies man. I like tech so I bought one. I also have an Xbox. I like options and new innovative tech which I feel this is. I work, I wanted one, I got one..
You now have 1 physical game. Do you have any physical 4K or Blu-ray movies (or even DVDs)? That's another reason to have the disc drive. :)
Black Myth is great on PS5 and top 3 games of this year for sure!
What’s up guys welcome to news wave
I used to love Unreal Tournament! I might just download it just to mess around on it!
I'd guess it's mostly scalpers. Sales will probably drop off a cliff after the scalpers see they got burned.
i would like to see how many ps5 pros sold in uk with the price being so expensive compared to america and japan
it is 650 in Argos. So I assume it is not selling like hot cakes.
You realize in Japan it’s more expensive than in the UK?
@@XxZannexX i thought it was selling for 119980 yen that would be about £610
I really haven't played any new games that came out this year. Mainly my backlog and replaying old retro stuff. I think the only game i got the year it came out was Tears of the Kingdom
My Nominations would be Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, StellarBlade, BlackMyth Wukong, metaphor, Silent Hill 2, Persona 3 Reload.
Multiple local stores have pros and I live in a pretty small town
I think the nominees will be:
Metaphor
Astro Bot
FFVII Rebirth
Dragon Age Veilguard (yes, really)
Animal Well
Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth
I literally didn’t play of the games John picked. This year has been all Balatro.
I don't think The Game Awards should be allowed to be an owned title like the superbowl. Imagine having to talk about the game awards as the "big game awards show"
We now know where the Wii U's marketing team landed...Microsoft.
Yeah, Feb is packed. While Avowed is on my 'interested' category, there are tons of other games I am interested in coming out in Feb. I am already making the tough decision between two thousand hour games, civ or MonHun, let alone an unproven franchinse. Might get it later, with the next drought.
god, I can't wait for Dragon Age the Veil Guard to get goty. It is a 10/10 after all.
13k more units.... how many 30th anniversary consoles did they make?👀👀
Animal Well
Astro Bot
Balatro
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Metaphor Re Fantazio
There’s no rule saying only one “indie” allowed people.
8:20 good job scalpers 🙄🙄
Well yes, they will not sell it. It is funny actually
Besides the three you mentioned I think Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth will be nominated. I don't think it'll win but it'll be nominated.
That is about 55 millions in sales for PS5 pro in Japan just for the console. Yeah Sony not dropping that price lol
Like a dragon for sure has to be on the list.
How mad do you think people would be if later down the road, sony releases a ps5 pro bundle that includes a disk drive and stand for 700
I personally think no one. If people are willing to buy the Pro now as is, then are already plenty satisfied with Sony. Those who have not bought it yet could be tempted, but only if they are an enthusiast.
It is not surprising at all that SCALPERS purchased EVERY SINGLE UNIT that Sony produced so that it Technically "Sold Out".
The only number that would accurately reflect how the ACTUAL gaming market feels about the PS5P would be;
How Many if those 5P units have been powered on, linked to a Playstation account and are actually being used to PLAY GAMES? ... vs how many are still sealed in box in a Scalpers closet having never been booted up ONCE.
That’s a good point. But these scalpers thing eventually hurts the industry. That’s part of reason why there is literally no good games these days.
With as good as the pro sold...I hope Sony makes a portal pro.
Astrobot X Pikmin would be cool.
Batman Arkham Shadow should definitely be a nominee.
Come on, nine sols anyone? My gane if the year. That shhhet rocks.
I highly doubt that many people actually bought a PS5 pro … like to keep for themselves or gift to someone
