Sony can get away with anything with PS5 due first party as important as Nintendo's

Now in 2019 and late last year more and more talk about next-gen consoles has been happening, I've been thinking for a while about the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett with what they will bring to the table. I'm not going to talk about the Xbox Scarlett for the minute as I've got some interesting thoughts on the PS5 and PlayStation in general.

Sony has just announced numbers for the PS4 which has now sold 91.6m SKU's worldwide along with numbers for Spider-Man which has sold 9m. Because of things like that and if you go back further with the PS2 then PS3, I believe Sony will (and they have already) become arrogant with the announcement of the PS5.

Now I don't think it will be as bad the PS3 with the whole get a second job deal or $599 in 2006.

I do however think Sony can get away with it due to the first party games and this might sound a bit controversial are as important and sell consoles as much as Nintendo's first party.

That might sound a bit daft and you might be thinking The Last of Us or Uncharted isn't as big a Zelda or Mario and maybe not but if you look at the 1m club for first-party titles on the PS4.
MLB The Show 1m (avg)
Shadow of the Colossus 1.07m
The Last Guardian 1.29m
The Order 1.62m
Until Dawn 1.87m
Knack 1.88m
Detroit 2m
LittleBigPlanet 2.02m
Ratchet and Clank 2.33m
Driveclub 2.37m
Uncharted Lost Legacy 2.88m
Infamous 2.98m
Killzone 3.02m
Bloodborne 3.06m
Gran Turismo 3.63m
Uncharted Collection 5.66m
God of War 5.67m
Horizon Zero Dawn 7.6m
The Last of Us 6.66m (12.93m with the PS3 version)
Spider-Man 9m
Uncharted 4 10.26m

PS4 or PS5?

I know it's slightly hard to compare The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild to Uncharted 4  (both have sold almost the same) due to each console's install base but I do think four generations and over 24 years in the gaming market Sony has built up a fanbase along with people knowing a Sony first party game is going to be good.

That going into the PS5, I believe Sony can be arrogant if they have titles like God of War II, Horizon Zero Dawn 2, Spider-Man 2 a much-rumoured Uncharted from someone that isn't Naughty Dog, a new IP from Naughty Dog, some sort of shooter from Guerrilla.

Those are very much system sellers and as important as a The Legend of Zelda or Super Mario is to Nintendo and due to those games, Sony very much can go here's a PS5 enjoy it.
