PlayStation 5 was the 2nd best-selling hardware in the U.S. during February 2021. Dollar & unit sales. It's currently the fastest-selling console in history, per NPD Group. Big sales fit with its overall theme, that's for sure! (I'll take any excuse to wear out this joke.)

Heard a comment it's "absurd a Microsoft studio would be working on a multi-plat game." Do gamers seriously not understand development timelines or time in general? Obsidian has been working on Outer Worlds for years. It's not going to suddenly cancel then shift to an exclusive.
