Nah... They will do much better than 50m. Especially if you combine PS6 and PS6 portable.
PS6 will have a very (extremely) slow start, but in a 7~8 years generation....
1 - The public will eventually want a PS5 upgrade. The most common option, almost certainly, will be a PS6 or PS6 portable... I mean, Xbox is dead, PCs will continue to be more expensive, besides requiring "extra care," and Nintendo is a different market niche.
2 - The vast majority buys consoles online. The era of buying directly from the store is ending.
3 - The public will not abandon their Playstation game collection and jump to another platform (At least not PC/Nintendo/Xbox).
4 - Prices will probably fall in ~5 years.
If Playstation managed to make over 80 million with the mess that was the PS3, they will succeed in a market where Xbox is dead and the biggest direct competitor are PCs even more expensive than PS6. |
You're talking about the best case scenario. But, what I am seeing is the start of worldwide economic crisis, unseen since the Great Depression. Remember also that Trump needs to remain in power, to avoid imprisonment. His presidency might end up with more conflicts especially over the Greenland and with Canada. This won't end well and console sales will tank for a couple years if civil war scenario comes true. The best case scenario for all PS6 branded consoles is to reach 50 millions. |
Apparently civil war is a realistic scenario but PS6 selling over 50M is impossible.
