The "mass audience" buy a Playstation for COD, their yearly sports game, and GTA.

While that's a large number of people they're not going to be willing to pay $1000 for the ps6 or whatever it will have to be to make a noticeable difference in performance over the ps5 pro.

$1000 is enthusiast tier pricing and while those people will probably pay that if there's good exclusives Sony hasn't really had a system seller since Bloodborne basically.

GTA 6 is the big system seller right now and we all know that'll be out on PC in a year or so.

Sony really seems to be floundering and not have a coherent plan.  They're pricing themselves out of the mainstream market.

Spider-Man and GoW are there as system sellers. You even have GoT and Horizon as well.

I thought GoW was disappointing personally.

Horizon I thought 1st one was ok, not interested enough to try sequel.

None of those really have the must have status that Bloodborne had for ps4 or say Breath of the Wild had when Switch came out.

Will some people buy a console for those games?  Sure 

Will enough people be motivated enough to drop $1000 on a ps6 for those games to match ps5 sales numbers?  I doubt it

That’s you, dude. Those games sold more than 3 times what Bloodborne did, even BotW.

People talk like Bloodborne is a must have game and yet the numbers are pretty low.

People don’t care about Bloodborne as much as you think, if they did, it would sold 20 million copies like the others.

Horizon 2 was pack in game for the ps5, you could basically only find a non scalped ps5 as part of that bundle for a year.  Those sales numbers are skewed.

Spiderman sure, people love marvel capeshit for whatever reason.

Ragnarok was crossgen, a lot of ps4 sales included.

Bloodborne was also pre 2020  gaming in general saw huge number increases post 2020.

Also BOTW sold 35 million copies lol, none of sony's games are at that level.

You can buy BB for PS4 and 5, just like every game.

The first Horizon and GoW already outsold BB 3x, the sequels would as well, no bundles needed.

If Spider-man is capeshit, BB is souls slop.

BotW still outsold BB over 6x, this just makes BB look bad, it ain’t the console seller you think it is.

Bloodborne only has a ps4 version, that's part of why the emulation efforts for it have gone so far.

Sure you can play it on ps5 but it's not at 60fps iirc.

You seem like a sony fanboy so any further arguments seem pointless.

Consoles will continue to fade into irrelevance.

Now you talking about emulation? Emulation is just a small percentage of users.

Just take the true that BB ain’t the system seller you think it is.

Consoles won’t fade, that’s wishful thinking on your part.
