Otter said: What are you expecting LT? I think its kind of wild to think they will fall far short of 100m when by the end of next year they'll be near 80m and many of their biggest developers still wouldn't have released an original PS5 game yet (ND/SantaMonica/Guerilla) and no price cuts. |
Near 80M by end of next year ? They will be probably be at almost 70M with the holidays this year .. 10M is too small number for next year. It won't drop so much. We will have the first full year for the Pro, and a lot of games, and maybe a price cut. PS5 should do at least 15M next year. So it will be at around 85M with the next year's numbers. I personally expect GTA 6 to launch in 2026, and therefore 2026 will be another year of at least 15M, the game will help stop the decline in sales. So 100M by end of 2026. From there on it only depends on when the next gen is coming, is it 2027 ? 2028 ? or 2030 as some rumors suggest ? The sales can finish as low as 110-115M when everything is finished, and they can finish as high as even 150M if the next gen get late release like 2029 or 2030.
