Analysts believe the PlayStation 5 will become the best-selling console in history

Japanese analyst firm Rakuten Securities has released its forecast for the likely PS5 sales. She believes that for the entire existence of the fifth PlayStation should have sold at least 200,000,000 in circulation. According to their own forecasts, this year Sony will be able to sell from 12 to 20 million game consoles. Do not forget that there is no information about the presence of so many physical devices. Sony may simply not meet the existing market demand. Recently it became known. that in the CIS countries, some stores stopped accepting pre-orders, since there are not enough set-top boxes for everyone.

The optimism in the forecasts refers primarily to the power of the PS5, which can be compared to computers priced at ¥ 200,000 while the PlayStation 5 itself is priced at ¥ 49,000 or more.

At the moment, PlayStation 4 has sold a total of 112,000,000 units, PS 3 - 87,000,000 units, while PlayStation 2 is the record holder to this day. The total sales of the second generation set-top boxes exceeded 160,000,000. Analysts speculate that the PS5 will be able to set a new record, which has not been broken since the release of the PlayStation 2, as well as bypass all competitors.
