| The_Liquid_Laser said: My argument is about competition. The PS2 wasn't competing with the Switch, so it didn't need games that sold like Switch games. It was a different era with different sales levels. The PS2 was competing with Gamecube, XBox, and Dreamcast. None of those consoles had software sales like the PS2 games you listed. They couldn't compete. That is why they sold poorly. For the same reason the PS5 will continue to sell poorly. It can't compete with the Switch. |
But does the PS5 need to compete at the Switch's level in order to sell 8-10m? I don't think so. It'll have a a strong selection of games that will not come to the Switch as listed. Ultimately they're fulfilling different interests. Will the Switch eat into Playstations audience? Probably, but not by an amount which stops PS5 from succeeding.
