| trunkswd said: Sony is expecting PlayStation 5 hardware sales to decline year-over-year and has no major first-party releases from existing IP for the next fiscal year, which runs from April 2024 to March 2025. Not looking good for PS5 hardware sales. |
The first party part is dissapointing but not shocking as I think the only major studios that could have had something ready were Sucker Punch or Bluepoint and we haven't heard anything from them. Still Naughty Dogs disappearance act is definitely being felt this generation.
Regardless I don't think we need to be too worried about PS5 sales as it's still currently the console in most demand by far, but it does make me wonder if we'll actually see the first pricecut in years to try to keep up with PS4 sales. Honestly this is all pretty good news for Nintendo though if their new system comes this year as there isn't that much competition for people's attention right now.
