Globally?? You thought it'd only do 4-6 million globally?! It was always gonna sell at least 4-6 million in Japan alone, and I'd say a good shot at 6+ million. Globally it was obviously gonna be a 10+ million seller.

Like I said before, this is something new for console gamers. People who bought the PS4/X1 in the first 5 months of their life didn't have any other choice but to play the few games available to them. People buying PS5/XSX now can keep cleaning up their backlog with no rush, with the added incentive that those games now run better than ever.

Shortages of both the hybrid Switch and physical copies of Rise it seems; Capcom should have known the kind of demand there'd be, I feel like they're probably doing this on purpose to boost digital sales.

wtf haha

That's the most bizarre and obviously untrue statement about games I've ever seen anyone make. Even an N64 or PS1 game brought up to 4k and 60fps wouldn't make this remotely true. You're trying reallllllllly hard to say that graphics are what makes a game.

I've played games in 480p and 1080p and would not consider them new game/experiences. Also have gone from 30 to 60 and not considered them new experiences. 99% positive I wouldn't play Spider-man on PS5 and wonder if I'd played it already or if were a sequel. I think your definition of new game/experience is a bit loose.

But, I don't think it really is new. The PS4Pro and XBox One were things that existed. And besides that, I think console owners were aware that PCs were a thing that exists and can do that. If that was really important to them, I imagine they'd be playing on PC.

So again, I just have a hard time envisioning that many people who are paying 500 dollars to replay their old games in upgraded form. I'd assume they're buying something that's specifically on the PS5.

NS - 28

PS4 - 1

PS5 - 1

If your reason to buy a PS5 is to play your  "many" PS4 backlogs, it would be more logical if you just keep on using your PS4 with these games and buy an upgraded, midgen version of the PS5 in about 3 years. Besides, many games about to be released on the early life of PS5 are crossgen with the PS4. Because once the PS5 Pro comes, the PS5 that you had bought to play your PS4 games is now outdated. Unless, shelling out is not an issue for you. 

I can easily see a lot of PS5 and Xbox Series X owners buying right now so they can play old games with better resolution, frame rate and loading times. The people who upgraded to the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X will be the type who'll do that and even people who didn't upgrade but bought them first will care about having better performance but many won't wanna spend a good chunk of money for a good PC to get great performance so will understandably prefer to spend far less to get just good performance since it's still good. For future games stuff like RE8 is only a month away so buying in advance for future games makes sense especially considering the stock situation. If someone wants to play RE8 on a PS5 or Series X may as well buy one as soon as you can since you might not be able to get one the week that comes out. Also thanks to stuff like smartphones many consumers have gotten accustomed to wanting the latest and greatest right away.

For the experience thing it'll vary by person and game but for me playing a fast paced game like a platformer or first person shooter at 1440p 144fps is a very different experience than playing at at 720p 30fps. The latter is outright unplayable for me now for games like that so I think it's fair to consider the leap in resolution and especially fps to be a new experience. The massively improved loading times the new consoles bring also adds to that.

PlayStation : 'Can I have more than one game in the top 30?'
Japan: 'Well yes but actually no.'

PS5 in the charts! Whooo!
