| Slownenberg said: You weren't responding to me but...what?? Liquid_Laser simply stated he doesn't think PS5 will go from shipping/selling well under 20M this FY to having the single best year for a home console in the history of gaming next FY. I fail to see how saying PS5 won't have the industry's greatest year ever and ship 30M means that it'll sell worse than PS3 or it'll sell worse than this fiscal year which will be a few million under 20M. As for warning signs PS5 won't ship (and presumably sell) 30M systems in a year...well I'd say the main warning sign is that PS5 hasn't sold close to 20M yet and 30M would be the best console year ever. And there are so far zero signs that point to PS5 suddenly nearly DOUBLING their annual sales. Seems like a pretty serious warning sign haha. Like, you comments don't have anything to do with the comment you quoted. |
If you noticed my other comment, you'd notice that I am expecting PS5 to sell more like 20-25 million myself.
The related part is that Liquid_Laser seems to believe that consoles are going to fall off a cliff.
My comment wasn't directly responding to that post. I was asking him some follow up questions about some of his posts in another thread from a couple of months ago.
Liquid_Laser's posts from another thread:
| The_Liquid_Laser said: I expect this to be the peak year for PS5 hardware sales. I believe the data shows the exact opposite. In fact, outside of Nintendo's and Sony's quarterly reports, the only region where we get actual hard numbers is Japan. In Japan, it is quite clear that the PS5 has pathetic software sales. People in Japan have almost no interest at all in buying PS5 games. That is what the hard data tells us. The reason for this, is because all of the best selling games in Japan (3m+) are on the Switch. PS5's best selling game can barely crack 100k physical. Switch does in fact compete with PS5. |
| The_Liquid_Laser said: If you are talking about PS5 lifetime sales, there are plenty of warning signs that it's not going to sell anywhere near what PS4 will sell. If you think there are no signs, then you are simply choosing to ignore the information that is plainly there. |
| The_Liquid_Laser said: PS5 + XBS will never get above 130m. |
