Consumers aren't going to stop buying consoles and games if the gen lasts an extra year; based on the MS leak 2028 is their target for the 10th gen, and systems usually aren't discontinued immediately after replacement, so conservatively speaking MS has til roughly 2029 or another 6 years to ship another 500k to Japan, which is entirely possible even at their slow pace. |
Customers stopped buying X1 and its games long before they had even announced series, PS3/PS4 also had much shorter legs than PS2. Again customers will reduce their purchase at some point and that defines when the next gen will kick in not the wishes and projections of the manufacturers.
