Trailing only slightly behind the PS4 while being more expensive.
More expensive and the PS4 already had a significant price cut at this point in its cycle for a year. And a Pro console on top.Trailing only slightly behind the PS4 while being more expensive.
Hopefully they can find a way to get the price down before the PS5 Pro launches. Ideally they'd introduce PS5 Pro at the current PS5 Slim price, and then knock $100 off the latter. Hard to know if that's possible at this time, though. I know the margins are razor-thin for them at the moment.
Hopefully they manage to cut the price of the PS5.
Still expensive for most people

PS4 also had a price drop after 3 years when the slim/Pro came out, whereas PS5 had a price increase.Trailing only slightly behind the PS4 while being more expensive.
They are projecting declines relative to what a gen would be like. It would be very difficult to bake in projections of a third party game, even one as big as GTA and even if they had the marketing exclusive.Sony is projecting to sell 18 million consoles next year.
PS4 sold 19 million consoles lauched alligned.
So sony is not expecting to reach PS4 but to lose ground to it. GTA VI beeing there or not.
PS5 will be here longer then PS4 so it will rpobably sell a little more at the end.
A projection is indeed an estimate based on much more data then a historical trends i hope, no need to specify that in a thread about financial projections and fiscal prospects of a multinational giant like sony.They are projecting declines relative to what a gen would be like.

Should clear 100m LTD.
PS5Pro + GTA VI could be absolutely massive but GTA VI cannot catch a delay...which I suspect might happen.
Some of that is on Sony, though. When you revise your projection and then still fail to hit it, that's not a good look. Sony themselves told people to expect them to sell more PS5s than they did.That's a great number for a $500 console (or $550? I don't know), but some people talk about it like a failure.
We do not even know if GTA6 is going to be this fy or not, which was your assumption.A projection is indeed an estimate based on much more data then a historical trends i hope, no need to specify that in a thread about financial projections and fiscal prospects of a multinational giant like sony.
Astrobot?
It was the assumption of many people in the thread before me, not mine in fact i wrote " GTA VI beeing there or not.We do not even know if GTA6 is going to be this fy or not, which was your assumption.
Xbox Series is behind Xbox One, so yeah, the PS+Xbox market is shrinkingCompared to a similar time last gen.
What the comparison of PS5 + Xbox Series and PS4 + Xbox One?
Is the addressable market getting smaller in consoles?
What's been the comparable rise in the PC market?
Was thinking how just from a CPU power perspective. The Apple M1 was like 30% faster than Zen 2. The M4 in the iPad seems to have done that again Vs Zen4
Qualcomm is launching ARM CPUs for laptops in a couple of months that's competitive.

If people are not buying consoles.
Then people's phones are starting to get powerful enough to run full games.
Consider how much of the PC games library could run on an iPhone if Resident Evil 4 remake can run on one. And there's efforts for a Proton like tool for arm.
I think the next stage for games is that the entrypoint can be buying a controller, and plugging your phone into a TV with HDMI out.
It'll significantly drive down the cost of entry.
PS5 is just shy of the PS4. The Xbox completely cratered.Compared to a similar time last gen.
