rocket league deserves the title more but i suppose ps+ has a much higher user base today than it did in 2015.Yes but from a business standpoint I think they'd like some space between them
if they can keep people entertained for the long term digital devolver and mediatonic has a real money generator on their hands. that makes me very happy as digital devolver publishes soo many great indie games. i hope all this money let's them expand a bit at bring even more great games to playstation. don't even care about exclusivity just bring the games. hotline miami, broforce, titan souls, and especially talos principle are all favorites of mine.
Avengers opening in the UK wasn't that impressive, fairly middling. There isn't data outside the UK yet for the game.

Globally, pre-orders for the game (including digital) were below expectations prior to launch, especially in Europe.
Positive WoM + reviews may help long term
Some extra insight on Avengers from Zhuge:Positive reviews? A 70 ain't gonna help it now lolAvengers opening in the UK wasn't that impressive, fairly middling. There isn't data outside the UK yet for the game.

Updated next gen sales prediction before we see PS5 price and reaction:i'm not exactly disagreeing with you. at the same time i'm not sure either. xbox has to be more than just cheap,.. it needs games people want to play. i suppose the series s is fine if all you want to do is play fifa or CoD but i think most people will want access to the generation's blockbusters and i still don't see ms making much ground there yet.
Xbox family will win back US and UK and gain ground elsewhere. Overall PS5 110M, Xbox 80M.
PS5 small decline on PS4 due to some lost sales to xbox. Xbox is way up on XB1 and grows the generation overall thanks to the insane value of the Series S bringing in new customers and more repeat buyers.

I'm still predicting this will be a worse gen than 360 for HW sales though, so its not like its a crazy success.
also, i'm still not sure how well a "digital only" console can do. i still hear a ton of people (like myself) saying i buy all my games digitally but i still don't like only having access to digital. i'm not sure how this will play out with the masses but i wouldn't buy a series s.
