That race will likely finish as follows: PS4 - 125 million XBO - 50 million And THIS race will probably look like this: PS5 - 105 million XSX - 70 million There’s going to be a lot of early adapters, more than usual for a new console generation thanks to that $300 Series S, and then when those consumers eventually want to upgrade, they’ll be much more likely to go to Series X than PS5c since they’ll already have an account, Game Pass, and be well familiar with the Xbox Series ecosystem at that point. Microsoft still doesn’t stand a chance, but that’s ok, because it would still be an improvement over last gen and they would be on they can build off that momentum so that one day, they might be able to compete. |
Mostly agree with you.
Something to consider though, is that both platforms will likely sell out of whatever they ship in the first 3-4 months. If sony ships 10M PS5s by March 2021 as rumored, then how many will MS ship? How many consoles are they willing to risk making in those first 4 months?
You can only sell as much as you can ship.
