Here's a thought....Assuming GTA6 releases later this year, isn't that a killer app for both PS5 and XB X/S?

In other words, shouldn't the release of that one game translate into a huge increase in sales of both systems?

Lastly, how does MS benefit by releasing "XB next" in 2026/2027?  It's not like there will be an optimized version of GTA6 that is much different from the one already being sold.

If MS does release its next console in 26/27, what will be its killer app, Halo?  Because it will not be GTA6.

People said the same thing about GTAIV back in the day on this site and the hardware sales were dissapointing, sure their was a boost but hardly anything you could call 'killer'.

Anyway ecosystems are less tied to platforms now, a bunch of games tend to follow what fortnite does, buy a skin on platform A and you can use that skin on any other platform., Genshin, FFXIV, Roblox,Minecraft, GTA online probably, COD warzone and so on are not tied to platforms anymore.
