| Kyuu said: PS4 remains shockingly big for an old platform. A very large part of the active Playstation players refuse to upgrade to PS5. I guess the high entry price and the long cross-generational period are to blame. |
Out of the 35 games PlayStation will release by the end of 2025 for PS5, 13 of them are cross gen with the PS4 (my number of ps5 games doesn't include games Sony worked in but doesn't publish on pc like Ronin or DS. The number of cross gen games does include remasters but doesn't include remakes), so a 37.14% of games are cross gen.
That's without including the 4 games confirmed (expected in the case of Fairgames) for next year that won't be on ps4 and will make the percentage go down to 33.33%. A perfect 1/3, I love when numbers do that.
And yes games from studios that are going to release on 2027 and beyond are most likely going to be cross with PS6. What you talk about cross generational period is a good point and made me remember how a lot of people questioned why LEGO Horizon wasn't on ps4 if it runs on the Switch and the answer was exactly that. They cut the release of most games for PS4 in 2022, The Show was their only game that was still releasing on PS4 officially ending release in 2024. They couldn't just go back to release cross gens 2 years after.
