I still stand by my maybe vote.
GTA VI has helped so far before release and will help somewhat.
Also, we're looking at a protracted launch to replacement cycle. I still predict PS6 isn't coming out until November 2028, and it could take until November 2029.
Whether it dies super quickly when PS6 comes out or not, it's all but guaranteed to outsell PS4 if it's not replaced until late 2029. If somehow Sony says screw it and launches PS6 in November 2027, I only see PS5 outselling PS4 if Sony still makes enough of them. PS4 could've sold 125 million or even over 135 million units if Sony made enough of them and possibly had a permanent price cut eventually down to $200 or $250.
