Sony’s cross gen strategy doesn’t seem to be working

[Boris Reznikov]

Ghost of Tsushima sold over 90% on PS5 despite the fact that there are way more PS4s out there than PS5s. Seems to me like people with PS4s are waiting to buy a PS5 before playing these games rather than play them on their PS4s. And it’s not just GOT either, Miles Morales and a lot of other games released on both platforms saw the PS5 versions selling way more. Generations matter and people want to move on.

Miles Morales still sold a shytload of copies on the PS4. We’re talking 7 million + sales between platforms compared to 1-2 million of R&C

Vast majority of Miles sales was on PS5

People always want to play on the superior version. Like I imagine the difference between the base PS4 & PS5 is drastic.

There’s no way to be sure without tracking digital sales which are the majority these days

Digital may sell more but it’s line with physical when it comes to platforms. ie if a game sells more on ps5 physical then there’s a high chance it’ll also sell more on ps5 digital.

Returnal debuted at number 2 and demons souls was at number 6

People are buying PS5s. They will almost always pick up one or two of these games with the system if they aren’t already bundled with it.

PS4 still selling enough copies to justify its existence.
