I see what you are getting at but I don't think its really that bold. And there are all sort of external things that may actually prevent this from happening like actual supply shortages and what not. That being said, we can all agree that people buy video game consoles to play video games. And GTA 6's launch will be the biggest. So we would expect that the demand for this title would drive demand for the console. And what happens if Sony releases a GTA 6 bundle during the next holiday season? Its gonna be utterly massive. No reasonable person would say otherwise... if you think it won't be massive please explain why so I know where you are coming from. |
As somebody who recently jumped from PS to PC, while I’m not representative of every PC gamer, I know that it’d take a lot more than one timed exclusive to compel me to fork over $450/500USD for a PS5. Especially when save data cannot be transferred over to PC. At best, I’d rent a system.
Plus, there will already be around 100mil PS5 systems out in the wild by the point of GTAVI’s release— chances are if you want to play GTAVI this fall, you’ve already got your PS5 purchased. The bump will be non-negligible, no doubt, but I don’t see it being any more than a few million additional units.
