My prediction: Ps5 will sell less than Switch but more than the Switch2. Both Ps5 and Switch 2 combined will have less sold than Switch/PS4.

Ps1 and PS3 sold way less than ps2. GameCube and Wii U sold way less than Wii. It's and every other gen thing. Next gen will be disappointment if history is right.

It's difficult to say now, but it's more likely to do than not.

Switch sales are hardly outselling PS4 and it's more likely that Switch is peaking round this year. The following years, Switch will start getting slower. Pokemon may be the end of its peak. Nintendo still rules Japan, but there's not many Nintendo consumers out there to make Switch sell more than 3DS.

Even though there's truth to what you say, I don't think any of those things you mentioned would stop Sony to be very successful. Cross-play is more a media bitching than anything else and Sony can fix that if they're not doing it right now. Censorship is a non issue. The few games they censored a bit aren't relevant at all. Their direct thing is just a streaming for enthusiasts and it doesn't change how powerful a release of COD, GTA or FIFA is for Playstation. They could keep doing their direct thing or get rid of it and their demand wouldn't change at all.

It's impossible to say with much certainty one way or the other but Sony has a very consistent track record. Unlike anyone else Sony is the only company to have never had a home console failure in terms of sales, so even without knowing anything you can put a fair bit of confidence in their next system based on history, as the ps5 will be a home console after all. Sony has the best track record.

Switch is performing well above the average Nintendo System however, it's already a proven success. PS5 isn't proven, even if history would tell us it probably will be.

PS1: 104.25m, PS2:157.68m, PS3: 87.41m, PS4: (120m?), AVG:117.35m. That's a very strong precedent.

I'd give a 60:40 chance in favour of the PS5 beating the Switch. They're coming from a very strong position to launch their next console so as long as they don't say $599 USD it should do very well.

Switch - ~100m

PS5 - 75m-150m.

Wrong gen son.

What even is this thread? We know very, very little of PS5, including crucial things like release date, price, launch lineup, etc.

There is no way anyone could make any sort of argument, for or against this question, in good faith.

It's possible that Sony's hubris causes the PS5 to garner ill will to gamers and its their worst selling console. It's possible that it's a mega success and outsells the PS2. There's no way to argue in any sort of fashion with any sort of foundation that isn't pure (worthless) conjecture.

I think this too.

I don't think PS5 will sell as well as PS4, so no i don't think PS5 will catch Switch which i think will end up selling like 100-110 million

This thread is like someone asking me who is going to win the Superbowl in 2023. There is so much we do not know. We can only take hints on what Sony is doing right now to see where they are headed. We also do not know what Nintendo have in store ether.

Impossible to answer this without having at least some idea of what their lifetimes will be.

Let me take out my crystal ball!
