GTA will help the PS5 but it won't be enough to bring it close to PS4 levels in Europe. Blame PS5's high pricing and Europe's declining economy. I'd blame PC too as it's just too good of a platform.
PS5 had a super successful launch that iirc resulted in Playstation's historic best quarter profit-wise even though console launch quarters typically lead to losses. This among other details (Supply constraints, Xbox red flags, upcoming "true exclusives" etc) gave me the impression that PS5 would be hugely successful and that its pricecut trajectory would be somewhat similar to PS4. I was wrong. Chip prices aren't going down, covid and wars fucked things up, and Xbox being near-irrelevant won't stop PC from being more relevant than ever.
