Spider-Man 2 is Coming Exclusively for PS5 Later This Year!
There are tons of exciting game announcements set to be announced this year!
30% of PS5s Monthly Active Users are brand NEW customers that never owned a PS4! Some coming from other platforms, some new gamers entirely, and some kids who just got the best Christmas Ever!
Addendum 2:
In light of the fact that 30% of PS5 users are NEW players who never had a PS4 checkout my thread of Welcome, Tips, & Tricks for PS5!
75% of PlayStation Users are still on PS4 however the demand to switch to PS5 has not decreased!
Now that the supply shortage is over, players transitioning from PS4 to PS5 will happen at an exponential rate from now on!
Addendum 4:
With the supply shortage ending, there was a significant increase in PS5 sales in Q3. Sony has increased their sales expectations of PS5!
Addendum 5:
PS Game sales were 62% Digital & 38% Physical
Of the digital games purchased in FY Q3 2022 62% of those were downloaded
Addendum 6:
With the success of the Last of Us TV Show & Uncharted movie, PlayStation & Sony Pictures plan to have further collaborations including the upcoming Gran Turismo Movie
Addendum 7:
MP games will exist to give a financial buffer so PS can continue to take expensive risks with High Budget HQ AAA Single Player Story Based Exclusives
MP games wont exist in spite of SP they exist so SP can keep getting bigger & better + mitigate risk if one flops
Addendum 8:
Multiple Spiderman Related Movies are in Production & the challenges caused by the pandemic are decreasing

This year seems similar to 2019 where there wasnt a Showcase but there were two larger State of Plays in September & December showing Kingdom Hearts 3, Last of Us 2, & Ghost of Tsushima
Sony is required to announce what their 2023 product/game lineup is before the year ends
3/8
It is mandatory because they are a public company beholden to their shareholders which are the owners of the company. If the owners do not know what products you intend to sell next year, to make a profit, you are in deep trouble
