Sony president Totoki stated last year that PS5 have hit peak sales and will continue to decline year on year in the future, its almost impossible to reverse a decline in console sales, because those are dependant on the console life cycle, not even the Switch with its great legs managed to reverse a decline in Switch sales, so that won't happen for PS5 and Xbox series X/S either. The only thing GTA6 could do is to make the decline less than it otherwise would have been, but it won't lead to either of those consoles selling more than they did during their peak.

Yes, it's very rare to happen, the 360 being the notable example where it declined in 2009 before exploding in sales in 2010 and 2011. I don't think the PS5 will beat 2023 this year, but if GTA VI releases I can see it beating 2024. GTA VI could be the biggest video game launch of all time and PS5 is the only competitive platform it's slated to launch on. The PS5 already broke the all-time record for November sales with it's 2024 number, but if GTA VI launches November this year I can see it breaking that record again. With Xbox sales at an all-time low GTA VI may as well be an exclusive. It's going to be an insane launch.

Thats what i also say. GTAVI won't be PS5 exclusive no matter how hard fanboys wish for it. Also people are putting too much faith in a price cut. How often it was said that when PS3 gets cheaper it would trounce and rape the Wii? We know the PS3 got as low as 189€ and it did not even reach 90 million. Price is no real indicator of how well a system is selling, otherwise the PSP would be at 200 million and the Vita would be well beyond 100 million as well. Both where priced close to Nintendos handhelds. According to this theory Sony would have won both handheld duels but they didn't. The Gamecube should have outsold PS2 and Xbox according to this theory. We know it didn't. Why is the Xbox SS not the market leading console if cheaper= selling better? Why did the Switch sell so well? 330€ was ok but not cheap, especially considering the facts you where charged 70€ for a pro controller, even 90% for a pair of Joy Cons and again 25€ for a Grip! 115€ for a Controller? Oh my god the Switch was a flop. I do hope Nintendo does not die now. Such catastrophic sales the Switch had. Nintendo should go 3rd Party!🤣😂
