I can still see the PS6 get all of the big third party titles as the Switch 2 will still be behind the PS5/Xbox Series X in terms of raw specs. How big the difference is yet to be determined. The problem would be how would the output be moving forward? Budgets aren’t going to go down, inflation or not. There are companies seeking bigger games and realistic graphics. Spider-Man 2 had a budget of hundreds of millions (even if you consider the licensing). That’s not feasible long term. We’ve seen games like Suicide Squad and Redfall fall flat on their faces. We’ve seen games like Starfield and FFVII Rebirth fall short of certain expectations, whether critical, commercial, or both. The industry is in need of a balancing act. We’ll see how things go.. |
The PS4 got every single relevant third party game for the Japanese market and it still declined over the PS3 and didn't even sell 10m+ in the region. What is going to happen with the PS brand in Japan if the Switch 2 also gets some of the AAA japanese games that will be released on the PS5/6? I would expect the decline to just continue in the region.
Maybe the Switch 2 will get the same third party treatment as the first Switch with lots of third party games skipping it in favor of PS/Xbox/PC and things will remain the same. Who knows. It's just a situation where we can just wait and see what's going to happen honestly.
