Next gen PS5/XB1SX sales ratio will look the same as this gen's. Huge changes in console marketshare require huge changes in the industry.

Do you think it will be a launch title? Because that’s really what I’m referring to. I know it’s coming, but this year is too soon imo, didn’t the first remaster come a year later?

Took something between 6 and 12 months from memory.

But this time with BC TLOU2 is already available to PS5 on launch, and sure considering they saw how much extra sales the port got for the first they may be doing the patch for PS5 for a long time already.

Just so we clear there’s a difference between a BC game and being re released with enhancements. I don’t think the June 2020 LOU2 will help much in November with the hype being at its peak in the summer. 

“and the discussion here is exactly on the HW sales. So it make your argument worse for being in multiple platforms.”

Not exactly. People that aren’t early adopters and core PC gamers never had the intention to buy a launch Xbox. So that’s sales for the game that don’t impact hardware. For everyone else in between...don’t underestimate gamers not wanting to settle/look poor. If you have the means and want to play the game on console, why not drop money to get the best version? If there’s a limited edition bundle and huge marketing, those who are on the fence will find it hard to just get the lesser version. Then you got people who wouldn’t have gotten the game regularly but figure they can get in on the trend via Game Pass. So many demographics at play.
