X series is a great system. too bad
The ps5/seriesx are now over 12.4 million behind the ps4/xbone. This is a worrying trend, hopefully gta 6 can help slow or reverse the decline.
Nothing worrying is affecting PS5. They just got Halo announced on their platform and it was huge news. PS brand has never been stronger.
i agree
We've been through this already. The ps5 is millions behind the ps4 even with the massive decline of xbox. That is worrying no matter what way you look at it. Even if the ps5 does catch up to the ps4 we're still looking at a big decline for the generation as a whole.
That's only because Sony were forced into making expensive hardware to compete with Xbox. Next gen they'll only be competing with Switch 2 so no matter what they do they'll be the most powerful platform.
There really is no point in talking to you. You are in a cult at this point.
I wish Halo Infinite was like, a masterpiece, a proper console seller, i just want to see how the series X would have done with a good start as opposed to this mess
