I've said it before but xbox are playing an absolute blinder at the moment. Sony are getting caught with their pants down pretty hard.
Xbox no longer relies on console market share for revenue due to xcloud, game pass on PC and releasing games on PC. Playstation heavily relies on market share of their consoles, if xbox gains ground in the console market then PS lose out big time.
Yet xbox are also making a big play for that console ground with Series S, game pass and huge acquisitions to make their first party much bigger.
Playstation absolutely will still be fine, PS5 will sell a lot. But xbox are about to hit some heavy growth while I think Playstation will do well to remain flat on revenue throughout this gen.
PS5 could have a Wii like sales curve. I was thinking this before today. First two years absolutely massive, you can see it with hype and lineup, but also I can only see the sales shrinking from PS4 overall. That makes a Wii curve by default.
