When Xbox consoles stop being made, how high will PlayStation sales go?

Benefitted their way into worse sales than the Xbox One.
Your Sony Doomer shit is so hilariously wrong-headed that it’s beginning to make you look really bad.
Just because it's doing poorly doesn't mean it couldn't be doing even worse if Sony was on top of their game like they were during 2009~2019.

That has got to be the dumbest, wrongest and most absurd take I have EVER seen.
Xbox has flopped harder than any console has ever been allowed to do without being discontinued and driving its manufacturer out of consoles, and that hasn’t harmed Sony and Nintendo one tiny little iota.
I know you’re a PC fanboy, but goddamn, you have no grasp on reality if you believe a word of the drivel you typed there.
There will probably be three main kinds of Xbox refugees:
- Casual (Game Pass) players - Will continue on for the lifespan of Series S or potentially upgrade to X if it's the "final" Xbox. Will not transition into PlayStation environment, will look to other avenues (e.g. Streaming) of GP content on whichever device gives them base experience for little cost.
- Hardcore Users/Fans - Will likely transition on to the PC platform, transition their console war approach into a Steam v Xbox store approach like the Epic v Steam mentality, will keep pushing GP/Xbox-published products as "superior" to other options. May and likely will begin to downplay consoles as a whole ("plastic box" rhetoric as an example).
- Normal Console Gamers - They use an Xbox because they like the holistic console platform, using a controller, playing on a couch. Attachment to Xbox more marginal (e.g. friends play on it, a few exclusives they like) and will likely transition to PlayStation at a slower rate of adoption as long as Xbox continues to provide needs in medium term (likely to end of this generation, and slightly beyond).
If it was doing any worse they’d be posting negative sales.
They didn’t even sell as well as Dreamcast did in its final holiday season in 2022, and 2023 was even worse in spite of massive fire sales on the hardware.
At most Playstation could do 150 million, same with Nintendo.
I think that's the peak of console gaming, we haven't really grown much beyond that and even Steam doesn't really have that many users.

They will transition their sales to a console that has 2x the userbase. They will make more sales, even with a 30% cut to Sony, then they would continuing as they are. The brand becomes a publisher and a content catalogue, which is what the GP push has been all about.
150m would be huge for PlayStation, back to PS2 numbers.
The Xbox One should've been MS's last console, the Series was a big waste of time and limited the availability of PS5 in the earlier years. The Series S just made it extra unfortunate by setting a extremely low baseline for nextgen.
Seethe and cope, you little pussy(cat).
Dude's name already indicates that nothing they say is worth paying attention to.
I think PS & Nintendo could see an extra 15 to 50 million extra console sales leaning towards the lower end. I think PS will look at Nintendo & PC as there new competitors while still keeping an eye on MS if cloud ever becomes a threat. To compete w Nintendo & PC PS next console (PS6) will be a handheld hybrid leaning towards mobility & accessibility to compete w Nintendo. They’ll also buy multiple publisher to gain bigger scale to compete w Xbox in production, subscription & first party output

Well them eventually supporting their rivals is inevitable. It started from last decade and will escalate by the end of this year if sales continue to flounder. I still don't see them completely abandoning Hardware
Some people should just read the threads, never reply and save us from having to read such a shitty takes like this one.
