I think Sony's gonna be just fine. PS3 was a fluke in their console dominance. And let's not forget it was a huge comeback kid. It went from a distant third all the way to slightly beating Microsoft for second place.
Pricing is a huge issue to figure out for the PS5. Charge $400, and you're drowning in lost profits. Charge anything more than $600, and not many people will buy the console. I say $450-$500 is the sweet spot.
Ever since I got a PS4 Pro last summer, I'm a passionate PlayStation gamer. I haven't jumped ship from Nintendo, but rather expanded my experience. I will get a PS5 at some point, but I might wait all the way for the Slim revision. A reduced price and a better form factor than the launch model are appealing. However if it takes until 2024 or 2025 for the PS5 Slim, I doubt I can wait that long.
