Playstation 4 og Xbox One sælger fortsat stadig, og med Playstation 4 Pro samt Xbox Scorpio kommer udsigterne nok ikke til at ændre sig.
Det mener EA chef Blake Jorgensen ihvertfald ikke, der i forbindelse med en finansiel rapport for andet kvartal 2017 udtaler:
On the console question, it's a little early for us to know what the big impact will be of new PlayStation and Xbox models. We're extremely excited about them. The gameplay quality is obviously fantastic. We think the consumer experience is going be great on both of those consoles. But it's early because the selling season is really as we go between now and the end of the calendar year.
Our internal estimate is still roughly 80 million units by the end of calendar year and 100 million units by the end of next year, calendar year. And as a note, the install base right now is 33% higher than the previous generation consoles for the first 35 months in the West. All of that bodes extremely well for the overall business. And that combined with the fact that I think you'll continue to see fantastic deals around bundling associated with the new consoles, the consumer is really going to get a great opportunity to increase or enter the best level of the gaming business that we've seen in a long time.
Lyder det meget realistisk, eller rammer EA's Blake Jorgensen helt forkert?
