I'm still seeing the same problems when discussing this. People really do need to stop seeing this through the eyes of a console gamer and start realising it's about distribution. When one of the companies finally do this they won't give a damn about how many consoles they sell, in fact it won't even enter their heads. Once you free your IPs from the limitations of your branded hardware, the sky's the limit and every single device capable of displaying a good image (that receives capable broadband) becomes your new customer base. It's the future without a doubt and it's nothing to do with that silly thing called a console.
How long it takes to get there is another question.
The PS5 Exists.
