Kane99 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Source - MSN Even with all the scalpers cutting into their profits, Sony still amassed $2.6 billion in profits from PS5 sales. Das a pretty heft number, and will continue to go up for sure. Once these scalpers are cut from the equation, I can see Sony making a hell of a lot more.

Crazycrab Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Scalping doesn't really cut into Sony's profits, if anything it increases them since they still need to sell the units at retail in order for the reseller's to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I think this is still low considering the people who wanted to buy the PS 5 could not as we have pandemic, job loss and also a lot of people are saving money lately more and more.

m76 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) that's roughly in the same ballpark as PS4 launch sales. Except the PS4 didn't have a pandemic driving sales. If they were able to keep up with the demand they could'Ve sold twice that. Edited February 26, 2021 by m76 killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many of us who have the cash to buy one but can't for the life of us get our hands on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
