Yea ps5 really is the worst genn i have ever lived true.

Ps5 is crazy expensive

Almost no trye current gen games 5 years into its life.

Almost no notable exclusives

80pricetag for games.

Which shows how crazy it is that it's selling almost exactly at the same pace as the PS4, which by then was $299 with $199 Black Friday deals. At this rate, Sony can almost be like Valve with Steam, just occasionally release a first-party title and sell 100 m+ every generation.

The PS5 will have a very hard time reaching PS4's totals for FY5, even without a possible tariff price increase, but with GTA6 and the decline of Xbox hardware, the later years should be a cakewalk.

Because Nintendo isn't a typical competitor, and Xbox has moved away from the console strategy so much. If PlayStation was making more reckless moves than they are and Xbox was more appealing as a console, you could see a PlayStation sell below 100 million units again like PS3.
