The switch 2 is going to die very soon guys I swear
PS5 in its 6th yr continues to sell well keeping pace with the PS4 ( PS4 price was cheaper when compared to PS5 ). I expect it to surge past PS4 when gta 6 eventually launches .
Looks like it was a successful launch for sons of sparta . I hope this gives sony more confidence to do budget titles with their first party ips and also currently neglected ones .
Yotei , sm2 and helldivers 2 continue to have long legs .
A 6 year old console outselling a 6 months old console is crazy. Ps5 has been a massive success and i can’t wait for ps6.
