Yes, annual releases increase sales even in the final year before replacement, just like in all years before that. Still a year over year decline despite a boost to sales, but a smaller decline than without annual releases.

Boy, what bias. Anything to downplay PS4's success. As much as you'd like to believe the opposite, their success is not directly tied to Xbox's failure.

The PS4 is seeing sales because of its own merits, like exclusives, and because of Covid. People are staying home and need something to keep them entertained. The exact same thing applies to the Switch. Is Animal Crossing helping push HW? Of course. But to act like Covid isn't helping push both HW and SW is just asinine.

You both are forgetting about Fall Guys. If you're a console gamer the only way to play it is on a PS4.
