You be sure to tell that to them in 5-10 years when the PS5 has sold over 100 million units and has become one of the best-selling consoles of all time. Because they're on the same track they were on (with even better first and third party support) in their first year as the Ps4, which is currently the 2nd best selling console of all time, next only to the PS2, which they also made (Switch WILL eclipse it but it's not there yet.) so yeah, tell us more about how Sony is making the wrong moves. |
I'm sorry, but your post was bullshit. First the PS4 is not the second best selling console of all time. That would be the DS.
More importantly, Sony loses half of the time. They do not get to rest on their laurels and make a bunch of bad decisions and then succeed. That is not how it works. Do you know what happens when Sony releases a system with only multiplatform games? PS Vita. That is what happens.
PS5 is not guaranteed to sell over 100m units. Right now it is mostly selling to people who will buy a box that has PS5 written on it. There are actually not very many people like this in the world as these people only buy for the first year or so. The vast majority of "Playstation" fans are actually fans of the games. They are really God of War fans or Spider-Man fans or whatever. They are fans of specific games. They don't have much reason to buy a PS5 if they can already play it on PS4.
Software sells hardware. That is why PS5 is not guaranteed to become a "best selling" anything. It needs exclusive software, or at least software that is exclusive to Gen 9. If they want to release hardware that doesn't have special games of it's own, then they should expect another flop like the Vita. There are good games on the Vita, but you can play them on other platforms. This is the kind of strategy that Sony is using for the PS5 right now.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
