Unless Infinite shatters expectations, PS5 already has a system seller bigger than Halo will ever be sales-wise (Miles Morales), and may receive its 2nd system seller (Horizon 2) before God of War or Halo Infinite.
And "brand name" is the result of a solid collection of high sellers (Spider-Man, Horizon, Uncharted, God of War etc) and core gamer candy (Demon's Souls, Returnal, Bloodborne, Shadow of the Colossus, NieR Automata (before it was ported) etc). So Demon's Souls and Returnal are already contributing to the strong appeal of PS5. The hype and energy generated by core gamers (word of mouth) affect the perceptions of casuals and attract them into wanting a PS5, even if some of these casuals or mainstream gamers will end up not buying any exclusive. |
I'm not sure I would agree that Miles Morales is a bigger system seller than Halo. Horizon 2 might, but if Halo Infinite has a great single player, it will be a system seller. If it's F2P multiplayer ends up great, it has potential to become a much bigger system seller then any ps5 exclusive Sony has announced so far.
