Let's just say that the number I'm thinking is way bigger than 1M. How much? I have no idea. Maybe they will set a new record for PS5?

Imho, GTA VI is just a gigantic "???" In the equation.

As I said before, every data and number is against me. Regardless, i'm still betting in the "unpredictable" factor, the "mystery box" that's GTA VI.

Edit: A personal factor, something that lacks a much larger sample size...

I have about 10 acquaintances who are PC gamers. They are unanimous, they will all buy a PS5 just to play GTA VI, even their children asked for a PS5 to play GTA VI.

I wonder, how many people will do the same? Buy a PS5 to play GTA VI... and I think that number can be around 5~8 million, maybe even 10 million.

Yeah, sounds absurd, I know! But we talking GTA VI, and this game is set to do absurd numbers!

I think most of the people who'd buy a console for it already have one by this point but we can wait and see how it goes. I doubt it but perhaps it will pull a Switch 2 and absolutely shatter records.

Based on what?  Of the potential hundreds of millions of future sales, how are you able to determine that anyone who wanted to play it on PS5 already own a PS5.  I see people thinking that Tomodachi Life will boost the sales of Switch 1 but somehow all potential sales for the PS5 via the biggest media release of all time are already nullified.
