The PS5 costs as much today as it did in 2020, hell the digital model is $50 more, it's no wonder people haven't jumped on, people seem to keep forgetting about inflation as well.
To be honest, even if I am super critical of PS5 output of games, one thing is for sure, PS5 is the best console to play PS4 games so I would upgrade any ways
When it's catalogue improves, you'll see more people migrate over. I haven't bothered to upgrade yet because I just don't see the value in it.Sony had already launched PS4 Slim at $299 at this point last gen and that was after a year after the price cut down to $350. Obviously folks are seeing more value in PS4 than PS5 at this point.
Currently, but PS5 sales are still doing well tracking almost on par with PS4 at this point last gen. It's normal for PlayStation as the big first party games come second half of the gen, what is different this time is that the PS5 is holding it's price but it is doing so with good sales so not a worry. I can see it lowering when Pro is released though.Sony had already launched PS4 Slim at $299 at this point last gen and that was after a year after the price cut down to $350.

It is tracking almost on par with the PS4 worldwide or is that a region specific statement?Currently, but PS5 sales are still doing well tracking almost on par with PS4 at this point last gen.

Worldwide. It's up in US/Japan and down slightly in Europe.It is tracking almost on par with the PS4 worldwide or is that a region specific statement?
It's tracking better than the PS4 in Japan? lol what.Worldwide. It's up in US/Japan and down slightly in Europe.
I bet alot of people will buy one just to play gta 6.None of my gamer friends have a PS5. There just isn't enough on it to justify it.
Pc is the main focus for PlayStation now.
GTA 6 is going to crack open a lot of wallets. Numbers are going to be nuts after launch.I bet alot of people will buy one just to play gta 6.

GTA6 or Death Stranding 2, whichever comes out first for me.I bet alot of people will buy one just to play gta 6.
Not really. I've played many of the "may give error" games since launch and never had an issue. That's just a warning on the PS store or the sake of not being liable for anything, there is no error.Not really as several titles are not compatible or give errors.

Funny...same for XBox.Pc is the main focus for PlayStation now.
It has been the case for well over a year.It's tracking better than the PS4 in Japan? lol what.
I've not been following sales as much as I use to. But I recall PS5 software sales being abysmal in Japan, so it caught me by surprise.It has been the case for well over a year.
Software is the odd situation (you can make an argument for digital ratio, but we mostly assume F2P is king), but hardware has been great so far. On track to outselling both PS3 and PS4 (and PS Vita, obviously).I've not been following sales as much as I use to. But I recall PS5 software sales being abysmal in Japan, so it caught me by surprise.
If the PS5 is tracking on par with the PS4 and launched at a higher price, a solution isn't required, it's doing comparatively well. This MAU data isn't entirely reliable in my opinion.Price is the reason and the solution.
It's tracking better than the PS4 in Japan? lol what.
That was the case for PS4 as well though.Only hardware. The software sales in japan are insanly low.
How did you keep up with many games? that's beyond me, I'd probably do the same if I have the time to beat many games, it's like buying a Japanese car that can live for 80 thousands k/m but I choose to keep it for another 200,000 k/m like it's no big deal, I don't understand.When it's catalogue improves, you'll see more people migrate over.

I don't keep up with many games. lol. I'm behind on so many, but the ones I do get at launch I buy on PS4/PC/Switch. I will run my PS4 into the ground, and I will keep buying physical games for it until I pick up a PS5. I might even buy Metaphor: ReFantazio on PS4, the beauty of not caring about graphics.How did you keep up with many games? that's beyond me, I'd probably do the same if I have the time to beat many games, it's like buying a Japanese car that can live for 80 thousands k/m but I choose to keep it for another 200,000 k/m like it's no big deal, I don't understand.
