GT7 is doing well and Horizon FW at 9 may be a good hold considering the PS5 situation with both games.
 
WWE 2k22 ends up with the roughly console ratio

WWE 2K22 split: 56% on PS, 41% on Xbox, 3% on PC (First Week Physical splits was 72% on PS, 28% on Xbox, don't think we got digital numbers)

I believe that includes GSD digital data. Would be very surprised if it didn't, 55-60% is usually the PS/XB split after digital is included.
Also, the splits I quote are PS/XB only so for WWE 2K22 that would be:

56/(56+41) = 0.577

I do this because I believe PS/XB are very "zero summy" in the third party software ecosystem.

Yeah, it does.

No chance imo, that ratio is happening for physical only numbers.

Since we've got some numbers and MoM changes I thought I'd have a go at rough estimates for HW so far this year. Totals don't exactly add up to month HW totals as I rounded all the numbers to nearest 5k:

Jan:

NSW ~ 60k
XBS ~~ 35k
PS5 ~~ 25k

Feb:

NSW ~ 50k
XBS ~~ 30k
PS5 ~~ 15k

March:

NSW ~ 40k
XBS ~ 50k
PS5 ~ 20k

YTD:

NSW ~ 150k (~185k last year)
XBS ~ 115k (~135k last year)
PS5 ~ 60k (~230k last year)
 
I know those are estimates and all, but holy shit, that PS5 drop is awful.

Obviously this is just Q1 results and things could change in the coming months, but there is a pretty solid chance the PS5 sells less in 2022 than it did in 2021 in the UK.

Even the PS4 sold more in 2014 than it did in 2015 or any other year in the UK if I remeber correctly.
UK is somehow weirdly frontloaded for PlayStation.
 
PS4 peak was 2014 in the UK but it managed 5 years consecutively of selling pretty close to that peak.
 
We already knew PS5 would take a nose dive in Q1 after the low shipment projection.
My doubt is if Sony is just stockpiling or they're struggling pretty badly to manufacture consoles right now.
 
The good thing is we can see in real time if stock improves or not.
Right now I believe this quarter wont change significantly unless something drastically happens towards the end in June.
Stock situation could be bad until the holiday quarter and just start to improve in 2023.

TSMC just released their quarterly earnings today.
7nm production ($sales) increased (tho that includes derivates likes 6nm)

I still don't believe that stockpiling makes commercial sense but maybe.

I might have a read of the tsmc earnings.
