the next gen PS6 and nextbox will do worse
They will. PS6 will only sold 55-60 million, Xbox Helix will only sold 35-40 million. Xbox Helix will hold most their market share this gen thanks to Xbox Play Anywhere program & new regional expansion (I predict Xbox will expand consoles to at least South East Asia, MENA, or more Europe & Latin America countries). OEM Xbox PC & handhelds will help Xbox visibility too. As for PS6 they are already everywhere on "key markets", unless they want to expand to Africas, which I doubt
Will this gen be able to pass 150 million?
Switch 2 will increase the price next month to $499.99, next year it will increase again to $599.99/$649.99. So not different than the rests. RAM, SSD price are getting worse, now TSMC also increasing manufacturing costs of chips. Motherboard & CPU price also increased too. Shipping costs also very expensive now thanks to war on middle east, oil price also getting crazier
You can follow my comparison on both consoles against the DS, in my sales thread. It's very competitive now, DS is in it's last decent year with 20M, while PS5&XBSX begun to fall and they are right before getting passed by the DS. Will GTA 6 be able to regain some momentum for them ?
