I don't see Xbox Series X|S as actually providing much competition to the PS5. And I'm not trying to take a stance of fanboyism, I just don't see it doing as well outside of North America and the UK.

So I do think the PS5 will hit 130 million sold before it's all said and done. Switch and PS5 will be complimentary platforms for each other. Both pushing hardware to new heights, as typical.

The question isn't so much if the Series X/S will put up so much competition to be neck to neck with PS5. The question is: can Series X/S put up more competition than Xbox One did to PS4? And I think that may well be the case.

Also you have to consider that PC+Gamepass and Streaming are also competition to the PS5. I think Sony may struggle to reach PS4 numbers withj the new system. Sure, they can surprise me, but currently I think this gen will not going as smoothly for Sony as the PS4 gen.

What makes you say that Sony won't have a smooth time this gen? The big titles from Bethesda will release on PS5 and Sony appears to be putting more visibility on PS Now (with it being baked into the PS5 user experience).

I'm not saying they won't have a few stumbles, but they have never started a generation as strongly as they have with the PS5's launch line up. And the first full year is looking stacked as well. Microsoft will obviously have Halo Infinite in a year or two, but it is disconcerting to know that Infinite was suppose to be a launch title and it's now a year away. Also they didn't launch their new system with anything exclusive to show off the hardware.
