the only thing that could close this gap is GTA6 being exclusive to Xseries, and this will never happen
Near the beginning, this looked like it could end up being a pretty close race, but now it's just a straight up bloodbath.
Until the end of 2022 it was so hard to get hands on a console, mostly PS5, now that the component shortage is gone, numbers are back to normal. By the end of this generation, it can be even worst than XBox One VS PS4 (1:2 sales) and when PS5 Pro is released (hopefully this year) sales will jump even further, so this "bloodbath" could be a lot worst.
True. Who knows how many more PS5's Sony could have sold if they didn't have a shortage for so long?
Looking so good 🙂
