Still a bit early, but there's a chance that this gen won't be able to outsell gen 8 nor gen 7 (only PS + Xbox).
Very true but this gen is very different from all other gens. This is the first time that almost all the most played games are still playable on PS4Xbox one. It's why PS still has so many MAUs on PS4. I think it will eventually outsell it but it will take longer to do it. For PS that is I don't think Xbox will be able to do it.
And if they still can’t do even one price drop on the current consoles, how much will the PS6 cost and/or will it really be that much of a performance improvement? I could see the PS5 selling well into next gen as a budget alternative.
I think your absolutely right about the PS5 and the budget alternative. I think that's exactly what happens.
I think it depends on when the next gen of consoles launches. If the PS6 and Nextbox launch in 2027, I am starting to think that the twins selling less than gen 7/8 is likely. If the PS6 and nextbox launch in 2028 it could leg out a victory.
Yea this is also true. Honestly though I think because of these GAAS games that focusing on MAU's is more important. Things on consoles will be more like PC where some people still have the older GPUs. Some have upgraded to the latest and some are in the middle. The most important part of owning a platform is getting the 30% cut from all sales. Whether someone is paying for their game/mtx on PS4/PS5/PS6 I don't think really matters to Sony.
