But yeah the PS5 ain't selling as well as the PS4. PS4 brought in the casuals while the PS5 will be more for the enthusiasts. Which is great news for me tbh

Yes, fully. Sony will file for bankruptcy two weeks after launch, mark my motherfucking words.
Yeah, this was my immediate thought. Sony's in trouble and consoles are doomed all over again.
I will say I have a weird feeling about Sony going into the PS5 next gen.
And yes I'm aware they haven't even shown it off yet.
Just cuz PS4 was a massive success doesn't mean the PS5 will be. Every gen is different.

err, where did he got percentage for cloud gamer? I think PS Now is the only streaming service available at the moment
Well, it's an opinion.
That being said, I somehow doubt Sony will stop pouring marketing dollars on EA and ActiBlizzard to make sure the ads for latest FIFA and CoD game will end with a PlayStation logo.
Sony is gonna make exclusives focused on the hardcore gamers invested in Sony's franchises, and back compatible will make this easier than ever.
Microsoft and Nintendo are taking a more scattershot approach, with Microsoft especially putting way more eggs in the software profits basket, since they are implicitly courting PC gamers such as myself to give them money for their software- be it full-priced games to own on Steam, or those sweet subscription dollars via GamePass.
I mean, both strategies have merit; I feel it's safe to say Sony will probably sell more boxes in Winter of 2020-2021;
The real question is, though, which gaming division will post higher profits.

The only Playstation console targeted to a broader audience was PS3 with all the multimedia features on it, and that didnt worked out too well. PS4 was already targeted at gamers only. As long as the price is not "hardcore" and with BC from the start it will sell like hot cakes.
Well...of course I believe it, you know.
Its CNN. Their crystal magic balls are always on point.

i concur. I am in singapore. There's no way in the seven hells that you can convince us southeast asians to subscribe to an online service to stream games....
it's one thing to stream tv and movies via netflix. For gaming, fat chance man...
Sony is definitely going to fail catering to the demographic that deeply invests in gaming. That makes total sense. The exact same thing happened with PS4 and that was a complete flop.
Next Gen game streaming is DOA in US because it uses so much more bandwidth than Netflix or Hulu. Rural US has crap internet speeds and the big cities tend to have ISP monopolies with data caps. I sure want to use up all my data cap to play one single game like Assassin Creed Odyssey and even then I couldn't even finish the game because after 60 hours I'd have 0 internet left. My only wonderful choices for internet are either a super slow near DSL level internet with a data cap or Xfinity up to 1 gbit also with a data cap.....
PS5 will still be very relevant, but if it launches at $600, it will be more of a slow burner like PS3.

This guy seems so delusional. Looking at his other articles he seems to know very little about gaming.
"For example, only 9% of the gamers are hardware enthusiast who will keep up with the latest machines, while 13% belong to the "ultimate gamer" category that spends all of their money on games."
... ya that's still millions and millions of people.
