Worse, not necessarily. Yes, sales may not be so high in the US now for the PS5, and even going forward, however so are the PS4 ones. We enter into 2019 year, where PS4 dropped from 5.2M the previous year to 3.8M. With GTA VI incoming, PS5 might be on par with this year or even slightly above. It's 3.1M now in the US, so with December it should hit 4M. From there 2020 was incredibly weak for the PS4, and after that it's done nothing. |
I honestly think you and many others are heavily overestimating how much GTA 6 will move PS5s next year. GTA 5 didn't move more PS3/Xbox 360 in 2013 vs the previous year. Even in 2018 with the $200 PS4+Spiderman bundle and Red Dead 2 the PS4 still sold less than in 2017.
Sony projected 15 million PS5 for this fiscal year, so if they expect less their next fiscal then that will tell us even they don't expect GTA 6 to boost sales vs this year.
