As a huge Playstation fan: doubt.
PS4 capitalized on Xbox terrible PR. That isn't happening this time.
It's been absolutely fine.Well that's a safe bet by him but he still sucks as CEO and the PS5 rollout has been garbage. He's coasting off brand power right now.
Can't wait to see your excuses when ps5 sells gang busters over the next 12 months. Ps4 was the best gen ever by any console and the ps5 will continue that momentum.I think Jim is in for a very rough reality check soon.
This isn't 2013 when Nintendo had flopped hard with Wii u and xbox one had a weaker and more expensive console that you couldn't share discs with your friends.
This is 2020 and Nintendo is all the rage with switch, xbox looks more SeXy and with a more impressive studio lineup than Sony's, specially with so many gamers fed up with the kind of cinematic woke scripted games Sony studios are known for.
To make things worse, Oculus Quest 2 will build up on the lack of Sony's momentum with ancient psvr...
plenty of great competition this time, Jimbo. Better draw whatever secret weapons you have in that sleeve...

I doubt it. They aren't being handed this generation on a silver platter.

If your Oculus is so good you won't be able to comment then why aren't you too busy to comment now?alright, Jimbo. Good luck.
I won't have any excuses as I will be very busy playing Splinter Cell VR on Oculus Quest to take notice of the great battle of the retro nextgen consoles
kthxbai
Yep.Water is wet
If you thought otherwise, idk what to say. Especially with Covid, these things are moving fast.

I'm of this opinion. TV and music consumption appear to have swiftly transitioned over to streaming. I look at all these kids consuming media through their phones now, and the prevalence of mobile gaming in SEA, and I have no doubt that gaming is the next form of entertainment on the chopping block. The upshot for Sony is that economies of scale will allow them and MS to simply forgo a mid-gen refresh, in order to continue dropping the prices on the new systems. We used to have $99 consoles. No reason we can't get back to that this generation. Then it just becomes an STB that can play next-gen games, while the associated streaming services spread across other platforms like smart TVs and phones.Yes, it will, but it probably won’t sell as many as the Ps4 overall. Neither will the Series X/S sell as many as the One. A big change is coming to video gaming. Maybe not in the next two or three years, but cloud streaming is going to have a huge impact on console sales.
But PS5 is capitalising on PS4s momentum. That's a far bigger effect imo.As a huge Playstation fan: doubt.

People are still spouting this nonsense about covid being an inhibitor here when spending on streaming, gaming, pc hardware etc is at an all time high?We only know that PS5 preorders sold out within minutes, whereas Ryan has the exact numbers, whether it was 1.6M, 2.4M, 4.3M etc. units, so he has the first hand data for making projections. But I think hes a bit too optimistic, if we are talking about first year's PS4 vs PS5 sales, we're talking about 399+prosperity vs 499+covid, many people care about buying food and paying bills first and foremost, a gaming console is not even on their mind, and won't be for the upcoming year or two. Plus MS is giving them a serious competition this time around. So I don't think they'll beat 14MLN units sold within first year set by the PS4, I'd say they'll be lucky if they'll hit 10 by the end of November 2021.

Is the retro quest 1 not entertaining enough?because Oculus Quest 2 is still to launch, so I have free time now
Oh thats why 3/4 times sony has been the market leader and has sold a min 110 m consoles in each of those gens. /sI doubt it. They aren't being handed this generation on a silver platter.
Get some more stock so we can preorder then
Not if they can't keep up with supply.
I'd love to be a part of it selling that much but can't get one...
Thats some sound logic right there! They cant keep the pre-orders in stock and that means to you all they will sell LESS because of this? You realize that this means in minutes they are selling out of every console they PLAN to make right? And would Jim know exactly how many they PLAN to make? I cant take it sometimes on here.Doubt it when no one can fucking buy the damn thing
Cause they understocked. That’s the entire argumentThats some sound logic right there! They cant keep the pre-orders in stock and that means to you all they will sell LESS because of this? You realize that this means in minutes they are selling out of every console they PLAN to make right? And would Jim know exactly how many they PLAN to make? I cant take it sometimes on here.
And you have drawn that conclusion from a quote of the man responsible saying they expect to exceed the PS4 sales? Again sound logic.....Cause they understocked. That’s the entire argument
This man needs to put down the pipe. They won't be able to manufacture that many let alone have any chance of selling them.
Source: hopes and dreamsCause they understocked. That’s the entire argument
