| The_Liquid_Laser said: Is it fair to bump this thread up again if the PS5 doesn't outsell the PSP? I know the main part about this prediction has now been proven false, but the other part is that Playstation home consoles actually would outsell the PSP. I really don't think that is a sure thing either. |
I don't think Sony will have any trouble selling over 80 million PS5's. It's lifetime sales should be at least what the PS4 has done. It would have needed to price itself out of the general consumer range the way they did with PS3 to see a significant drop in lifetime sales from its predecessor. Also, Microsoft would need to really eat into Sony's sales, which also doesn't seem to have happened since the PS5 sales have been tracking so close to PS4 sales launch aligned. We'll have a better idea of course of how their ratios play out once they both sort out their stock issues, so maybe it is too early to say. But while PlayStation sales are on the decline in Japan, the PS4 made huge gains in Europe and NA that the PS5 should be able to retain as well.
