Theorically, if this ratio would hypothetically maintain itself for the rest of the generation + the total sales of these consoles combine equal about the same from what it did last gen, there might be a chance none of these two consoles goes on to achieve the 100M milestone |
This just seems so hard to believe though. Not saying you are wrong, but it almost feels like Sony’s first party output would have to fall off a cliff after 2022 for this to happen |
Hasn't it already, at least in terms of quantity? Count for new games (remakes allowed, remasters not, neither our exclusive third party games, nor digital only games as I'm trying to compare quantity output of bigger games):
PS4 2013 - 2 retail games
PS4 2014 - 5 retail games
PS4 2015 - 6 retail games
PS4 2016 - 6 retail games
PS4 2017 - 9 retail games
PS4 2018 - 6 retail games
PS4 2019 - 5 retail games
PS4 2020 - 6.5 (Miles Morales)
PS4 Average - 4.96 games a year
PS5 2020 - 2.5 (Miles Morales)
PS5 2021 - 4
PS5 Average (so far) - 3.25 games per year.
We know Sony will pick it up as history proves, but even comparing 2013/2014 to 2020/2021, PS4 averaged 3.5 games per year (or .25 more a year) than PS5 so far.
