Yes we should take them at their word... remember they only said that console prices weren't going up... but they seem more than willing to raise other prices like subscription costs (which isn't exactly a win for consumers lets be real).  But the more than that, and because of that, the are much more likely to keep the price as low as they can. Just seems like the most optomal and profitable path.  

 Do you expect GTA 6 to have no impact on PS5 demand?

Again, I am not saying that we shouldn't, I am talking as the general audience perspective that wont put that energy to go search deep under the Sony statement.

They will have an impact on PS5 sales for sure. But i am thinking the impact will be something about maintaining last year numbers or a bit under, nothing above that

Okay got you.  You are trying to model how the general consumer will react with what information we can reasonably expect them to have.  I don't agree with your conclusion but I understand your reasoning.

While thoughtful and reasonable, I think you simply underestimate the actual signifigance of this release. I made a similar mistake when understanding Animal Crossing and its ability to move consoles.  I simply didn't realize how popular it was.  I think you are making a similar mistake... only magnified many many times.   

But enough about the general public.  Are you excited for GTA 6?  Do you plan on picking it up?  For myself, I will be picking it up for sure.
