Seeing how powerful Zelda, 3D+2D Mario, MarioKart, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, and Smash Bros were during the NSW gen, I can only imagine Sony is a little worried abt PS5 remaining competitive once this whole new wave of Nintendo games drop over the next 3-4y. Plus, we already know of Ghost of Yoeti for PS5. Possible there is one or two more major releases yet to be announced? |
No, I think it's just the covid delay coming to an end. A big part of both playerbases are so different usually games sales don't collide, like how last year Wonder and Spider Man 2 released the same day, I don't know how much Mario usually sells but the Spider Man numbers were in line with what was expected. The sales of the switch 2 are obviously going to be big so it's up to sony to lower the prices of the base PS5 + whenever GTA6 releases it will also boost the sales of the console.
Now talking about line ups we know Pokémon is going to be the Switch 2 seller and it's going to sell a lot doesn't matter what, with some luck people also get the beauty of Metroid Prime. PlayStation has 3 games confirmed for next year: Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding beach episode and Lost Soul Aside that is a chinese game they have been backing up for a good time. Ghost of Yotei is going to be good 100%, who knows how DS is going to be lol and Lost Soul Aside can be a trump card because if the chinese community back up that game the same way they backed up Wukong is going to be a home run.
I wouldn't be surprised either if Nintendo and Sony announce something extra next year, Sony applied the Nintendo strat 3 times this years, announcing games we didn't know existed and also releasing them the same year.
