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.

With all due respect, you're wrong.

I want you to think for a minute... "what is GTA VI" and what does "GTA VI Playstation 5 (almost) exclusive" mean....

This game is the biggest event in the gaming world in recent years, a true game-changer... You're a Nintendo guy, so think about this: Zelda, Pokémon, Mario... all at their  peak and absolute best interation... all small fry compared to GTA, name any franchise, whatever you want, nothing comes close to GTA.

I'm saying now, PlayStation will sell over 130 million (life-time) consoles and a large part of that will come from the fact that GTA 6 is practically exclusive to Playstation 5. A very large number of people are going to buys Playstation just to play GTA VI.

Damn, i think GTA VI can nail +50M in sales in year 1,  almost all coming from Playstation. This game will do things that most would call "impossible"!
