It's a good thing that the PS5 won't be competing against a handheld.  Oh wait....

What the hell does that have to do with PSP/Vita? You cant just make up random shit and call it an argument.

You: why do people assume PS5 will do well?

Me: they have a good track record with 3/4 home consoles being dominant

You: you're ignoring PSP/Vita

Me: those dont matter when talking about home consoles

You: PS5 will be competing with a handheld

 

Literally none of your replies are relevant to what we are talking about.

In your original reply you just said "consoles" and not "home consoles".  That is why I bring up the PSP and Vita.

Furthermore my first post was pointing out that people seemed to have learned nothing since the PS3 days.  Before the PS3 launched, Sony really did seem invincible.  They had made no missteps, and it was too early to tell how the PSP was going to do.  Now, it should be obvious that Sony is not invincible.  They CAN lose.  In fact they lose 50% of the time against Nintendo.  Betting on the PS5 before it is even announced is the equivalent to betting on a coin flip.  That is MY point.  People have learned nothing. 

I don't mean to take away from the PS4's success, because that is a legitamate success.  But in the first few posts people are already predicting PS5 success based on absolutely nothing.  Their track record is an illusion.  Sony will not automatically do well just because they are Sony.  They lose to Nintendo 50% of the time.
