2023 previews

Sony said this month that PS5 has sold over 30 million units since its November 2020 launch.

Speaking during the company’s CES showcase, SIE president Jim Ryan claimed December was PS5’s biggest sales month yet, and that increased availability means more consumers can now purchase the console following long-running supply issues.

Sony will launch PlayStation VR2 on February 22, 2023. Priced at $549.99 / €599.99 / £529.99, the PS5 virtual reality hardware includes the PS VR2 headset, PS VR2 Sense controllers and stereo headphones.

Man, I can’t wait for the comments to descend into squeals and handbag fights over whether Xbox or PlayStation is better…

That was a pretty cool trailer. But did they really have to show the PS4 at the end? LoL Sony C’mon already, the PS5 has been out for over 2 years!
I mean we get it, you believe in generations.
But why don’t you start actually believing in THIS GENERATION!
I know most of the games said PS5 only… But I haven’t already forgot that GT7 said PS5 only at one point too LoL.

  You have another 2 years (end of 2024) of PS4 game support according to Sony themselves. I expect most big games will be cross-gen with the occasional bone thrown in for the PS5 exclusive game. A game that won’t be 20 million sellers but say another game in like Returnal or Ratchet will be exclusive. Of course, with only 30 million sold and with such dependence on PS revenue to drive Sony proper profits they aren’t going to abandon the PS4 gen and those 115 million consoles that will still drive most of that revenue.
  Personally, I think Sony should do the Xbox route. Microsoft has completely moved on and everything going forward appears to be next-gen only. But the caveat is every one of those games will be streamable day one. So even Xbox One can (if they have a GPU subscription) can stream any Series game to their older console. Not a perfect answer but it at least allows the games to be built from the ground up for next-gen use and still allow older Xbox One gen access to those same games.

  Agree on the PSVR2. But the Oculus has already sold more than double the PSVR1, I wouldn’t classify it as a flop really. It actually created a marketplace for a very niche thing.
