Not sure I agree the premise of the article. Sales are going to be down when there are fewer AAA releases to drive hardware sales. It’s taking longer and longer to develop those games and the budget required no longer justifies console exclusivity.

I think 2025 will be the real measure of console strength when the big releases are scheduled to come out.
