Yes, we've had these before too. Hardware was 35% down in 2016 for instance. For individual platforms, the Wii was 40% down in 2009 but up in 2010. Same for the X360. PS3 had huge drops in 2008 and 2010 but recovered in the following years, etc. |
Also true.
I guess people are worried for 2024 because there wasn't a lot of big games produced this year (TotK, Spider-Man 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Mario Wonder, Diablo IV, Hogwarts Legacy).
And 2024 is looking rather slim pickings (Rise of the Ronin, Skull and Bones, Princess Peach: Showtime! [at least the biggest one announced by Nintendo]). So, people may not want to buy consoles because there are no new fun interesting games coming out.
Lets hope for the best and hopefully Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and other big companies can produce some fun games for 2024.
