Doesn't the revenue also take the economy made by the cut down of staffs and studios they had recently.
That's one strategy they were employing to bolster their fiscal year during the Q3 fiscal meeting no ?

Anywoo, not that I'm in any surprise looking at the shipping numbers realising they completely over thought their reach with that initial 25M.
Fact is now, there factually not expecting the console to match the PS4 sales, while not far from it, it isn't the hopeful picture they were painting out last year.
Financially, they are doing well as usual and a success like HellDivers II most likely saved the First party software division revenues there.

Anywoo for those talking about GTAVI, I let myself with some reserve on it. There's no guarantee we won't see another year delay for the project, it will sell consoles to a degree of course but I don't see it changing the PS5/XSeries current trajectory, especially considering that the majority of it's market prolly owns the needed console already.

Nonetheless, they've got a lot to work here to reach those hardware numbers despite the lack of said big software release at the moment. It can change, just like HellDivers II did for the last fiscal quarter, no guarantee for the subsequent ones though

Naw GTA6 will change the trajectory big time. It already has 200 million views for gods sake. it by the far  the most loved game of all time for the casual gamer. it will do wonders for console sales. there  really isn't  many big exclusives on ps5 when you think about it that aren't on ps4. so many people i know still game on ps4.

Huhuh ...

You know that would sound real if only the people who bought GTAV in the first place durimg the 7th Gen or 8th Gen are assured to still be in the active market at this time. Will there be the same amount of people to double or even triple dip on the game as it gets new releases on PC or next gen consoles ? 

The video game market trends and the vogue of online play changes faster than it certainly did back there. GTAV transcends the typical game in the series had to that point. GTAVI isn't guaranteed of the same just because of gamer hype.

Also Youtube is not a real or good indicator of sales. 

Like I'm not saying, it won't sell big haha. I'm doubting the mythical status of sales for a game that's not even sold yet and it's effect on hardware. It will sell consoles, sure, but I think you're getting carried away in your expectations because of a past mega success that may not replicate itself as you want it to.
