I see, that is fair enough. I don't get why people think the PS6 will be this massive hit. the fact is the more tech develops now the longer the development time for games and so fewer system sellers. I personally expect the PS6 to follow the PS5 and be the system for COD/Fortnite/FIFA/GTA online/etc annual games and like games types, just like the PS5 is with too few exclusives to really make it expode in the eyes of those who don't have one.

I genuinely don't get Sony's thinking wiht the PS6, it's only going exabercate the PS5 problems of decent sales but struggles to sell software. I can't see them doing a Nintendo and holding it back to ensure a good supple of software is ready for purchase. Even Nintendo is padding out it's software with Switch 1 upgrades, but I suspect it's going to have a stronger 2nd year of games than the Switch 1 did to maintain momentum.

Sony is going to run into the very same problem that Microsoft ran into this generation. Last gen, when Microsoft started releasing their first party games on PC in addition to Xbox - while it boosted their software sales, revenue, and good will towards PC gamers at the time, even Ray Charles could see the negative impact that would have on their hardware sales. And sure enough, like clockwork, that impact has come to collect on the Xbox Series as the sales for that system, after a strong first 1-2 years, has since CRATERED.

While it won't be to the same extent or severity as Microsoft w/ Xbox, Sony will run into the exact same brick wall with the PS6 now that they have started releasing their games on PC as well.
