Panic has sold more than 50,000 Playdates so far
its charming handheld console. To mark the occasion, the company has revealed just how many units players have bought to date. Panic says it has sold 53,142 Playdates so far. That's more than two and a half times the number of units the company initially expected to make.
When Panic opened pre-orders in mid-2021, it wasn't certain whether it would sell the first batch of 20,000 consoles at a reasonable pace. Eager customers snapped all of those within 20 minutes. While there is clearly a demand for the console with a crank, getting the Playdate into players' hands has been a tricker problem. Panic came across a"critical" battery issue while manufacturing the first batch, leading it to switch suppliers andNot only have parts shortages slowed down deliveries, manufacturing costs forced Panic toby $20 to $199 earlier this month. Panic has shipped more than 27,000 Playdates and it expects to fulfill all preorders by the end of 2023.
