I propose a question if when the PS5 is released, and for the following 3 years after its release, all its games also run on the PS4 (albeit at 720por less or something)... dos that mean the PS5 will be grouped with the PS4 in sales?

Now to clear this up, I am not saying that the Switch lite sales should be separated, I know that won't happen and personally I don' care enough fr that... I am saying, however, that this is exactly what I predicted will happen before the Switch was even released when it was announced as a hybrid. I literally sai that a few years after that Nintendo will release a strictly handheld version of it. And that how its sales are tracked after that would be interesting.

If PS4 games run on PS5 it should be the same as well no? The majority of third party games will cover both consoles for years. They both have similar starts to their names, like PS and Switch. The only difference will be 5 and Lite which are both distinctions.

I don't see why PS5 sales wouldn't continue wherever PS4 sales stop based on this reasoning.

Good call. I also agree it's going to make things interesting, to put it one way.

Do PS5 games run on the PS4, too? If yes, then they actually could be grouped together, as the PS5 would be more like a new PS4 model than a real new console gen. Otherwise, separate the two.
