curl-6 said: Mind you, I'm not saying it ever WILL be able to hit 30 million in a year, as by the time the chip crunch is completely over it may be too late for that. A longer generation than usual is also a distinct possibility due to its slow start and them wanting to recoup their early losses. |
Again, the level of "hype" is amplified by the products scarcity. The idea of FOMO is created when a product IS scarce. It doesn't happen when a product is not scarce as there is no fear you won't be able to get it. When someone has the ability to walk into a store and purchase something at any time they aren't going to worry about missing out if they don't get it right that second.
It's possible PS5 could have a higher peak than the PS4, sure. However, 50% more than the best selling year for PS4 is pushing it.
