i can't see PS6 selling 100M+ with Sony putting singleplayer games on PC

[Etifilio]

the effects of what they're doing now will start to show in the next generation, i highly doubt they'll be able to maintain the same base they got with the PS4, i think PS6 will die with 70/80M units sold, decent numbers, but nowhere near the 120M mark they reached with PS4, what do you guys think? will PlayStation be able to maintain a large console base without real exclusive games that make people buy the hardware?

Xone, with no exclusive games (Day 1 PC releases) and no great games, sold almost 60 million. What is it with these threads?

I can't see myself buying a PS6 at this rate. I think it will definettly sell considerably less than the PS5. PS5 migth not even sell much better than the PS4 as well.

Once Sony sees PlayStation struggling they'll pivot even harder away from console and single player releases.

The only thing keeping me from selling my PS5 is physical media but I can already see that market for discs getting really weak here in Brazil.

Xone didn't sell 60M not here and not on Mars, it sold 52 - 55M and that's exactly the point, the effects of the PC push during the XOne generation really showed in the generation after that, the Series S/X generation, look at the sales of it

probably 70/80M, i think PS5 itself will have trouble trying to surpass PS4, probably gonna die with 105 - 110M, after this gen, only lord knows

Why you are so afraid? Do you own stocks?

because i game on the platform, the less the platform sells, the less games they're going to make, or you really think PC guys are helping with the budget of these games?

Apparently zero genuine, like-for-like competition from xbox is irrelevant?

An imagined zero exclusives (all titles day 1 with PC is a fantasy, but even then it would make all that much difference to the vast majority of console gamers).

Doing less numbers than ps3?

OP is bonkers.

it will happen, my man, not only because of PC, but because of Cloud Gaming too, PlayStation consoles will be as irrelevant as Xbox consoles, you'll have absolutely no reason to buy one

The XONE got decent sales with the good reputation of the X360, and good games that were XONE exclusives and did not immediately appear on PC. Some of them were never released on PC.

At the time, no one was shouting that now XONE and PC are two siamese twins.

In general, the failure of the XONE launch is exaggerated, it was first knocked out by PC ports, and then GamePass made a control shot to the head.

You game on a ps6 already? Wow!! That Delorean must be cool as hell.

Halo 5 never got released on PC, same for Forza 5 and 6 for what i know, but the real downfall of Xbox started after 2016, everyone here knows

i game on PlayStation, i've build my digital/physical library on it, i have every right in the world to be concerned about the future of the platform, specially after seeing what happened to Xbox

So your game collection vanishes if the ps6 sells less units? You enjoy your games less if the console you like sells less units?

 

[Etifilio]

it's so funny how everytime i show concerns about the future of PlayStation, is always these poeple that play on PC and never had a console on their lifes that appear on my threads to talk shit, my concerns are extremely valid

it has the risk of vanishing, if consoles don't sell, they won't spend billions on R&D to make them, so my library will get stuck on old hardware if there's no PS7/PS8/PS9 and beyond

also, if PS consoles fall, don't think you'll keep receiving singleplayer games on PC, cause they won't exist anymore, they won't be viable to make

I do not deny this.

The XONE managed to sell relatively well, thanks to exclusive and good games, as well as the reputation of the X360.

That was BEFORE the PC odyssey.

After it started, sales plummeted, and that's taking into consideration the numerous discounts MS used to try to boost sales.

Exclusives are just one reason people buy consoles.

PS consoles won't fail. A console that sells 80M+ can't be perceived as a failure. Specially as they will take some of the Xbox userbase in case they don't continue in business, while others migrate to PC.
