Yeah it could be worse, we have a thread here about PS6 not even hitting 50 million, if the pricing gets that bad, that's definitely possible. 

I don't think there are 50 million households willing to pay $900-1000+ for a game console, especially in an era where exclusive games take 6-10 years+ to make. 

If Nintendo can't even make 100 mill, Sony and MS are in deep, deep shit because they are going to be even more expensive, likely significantly so. 

Xbox (not Microsoft gaming) is in deep shit regardless lol. Sony would be fine unless they start losing their PS4 and PS5 players. PS6 may be an extra piece like a midgen upgrade. Its sales performance won't necessarily be indicative of anything. Generations just aren't what they used to be.

A PS6 can sell 50 million and be seen as success if it helps sustain or grow Sony's playerbase across all their consoles. And it can be seen as a disappointment if it sells a 100 million but Sony's total playerbase is reduced by 20 million.

PS4 remained a big platform several years after PS5 launched. The PS5 may have a much longer longevity now that PS6 is too expensive and optional.

PS6 selling even "only" 50 million would be a disaster, lets be honest.
