I am still confused about your post. Piscatella is not an insider, he is an analyst. He is not sharing "a take", he is sharing data. What are you trying to say lolFor be an insider?

To get his actual work you need to by a Circana subscriber. The tweets he does are just him engaging with the community and marketing the company.Analyst acting like an insider. You could keep watching his tweets, well if he stop blocking everyone else on Twitter.
He do takes you know.
Pretty sure he do videos about. He could post analysts as usual, with a bit of his take of course.
I mean, he stop reporting numbers because he is an analyst? I guess you guys forget he put some sort of opinion/takes in his 'analysts'.
I agree, he's an arrogant and obnoxious twat, don't get me wrongAnalyst acting like an insider. You could keep watching his tweets, well if he stop blocking everyone else on Twitter.

Yeah, on second thought I should have called a LUKEWARM take.It's not even a hot take.
Just common sense.
PS5 is like 1M behind PS4 as it's like twice as expensive. Switch is going to turn into the best selling console ever for Nintendo.It's not dying... but it ain't growing either. Which is why PS games are coming to PC![]()
The market will remain pretty much the same.PS5 is like 1M behind PS4 as it's like twice as expensive. Switch is going to turn into the best selling console ever for Nintendo.
The market is not growing because MS is flopping like hell but those two are clearly doing amazing.
And we are yet getting CoD like games being Cross-Gen...PS5 is like 1M behind PS4 as it's like twice as expensive. Switch is going to turn into the best selling console ever for Nintendo.

This take is so weird tbh, like what did consoles have in the past? Was PS3 special because it had the Cell processor which was a pain for devs in the first years? No. PS3 was special because of the great exclusive games and in general a generation that started some of the most popular francizes like Bioshock, Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, Batman Arkham etc. (most of these which are missing in action btw)Consoles just don't have that magic anymore they all are just watered down pcs. Nothing special...
Eh, they're doing great at monetizing their player base.. but that isn't growing the market. It could be argued that PS is doing as well as it is simply because MS has been doing terribly for 2 gens straight now... and Nintendo literally had to consolidate their handheld market and console market to get these numbers.PS5 is like 1M behind PS4 as it's like twice as expensive. Switch is going to turn into the best selling console ever for Nintendo.

Mat does have access to the data though. It's much better to ask him questions and get some data than us getting no data at all.Rule of thumb:
Any cunt that talks about sales figures, without including the sales figures, can be safely ignored.
This performative nonsense without some actual hard data is indicative of the gaming industry people on Elon's site of dumb.
What incredible insight. But this is actually true for PS/MS consoles overall, not just CoD. Current kids play on phones, with a small/negligeable part being Switch.You can't have infinite growth for everything
For example Call of Duty sales are driven by dudes in their 30s 40s that were playing when they were kids and now they can spend more on microtransactions
WTF is "college football"?I assume College Football 25.
Yep, PS5 is 7% above PS4 in the US so there is growth there at least. other markets, especially more price conscious regions, have made it fall 1M behind globally but the PS4 had a Pro already at this point and pricecuts. I think the PS5 is doing better than the PS4 all things considered.PS5 is like 1M behind PS4 as it's like twice as expensive. Switch is going to turn into the best selling console ever for Nintendo.

It's like Madden but college/university rosters so all the college kids buy consoles and the game to see themselves or their friends in the game.WTF is "college football"?
Yea but also Sony hasn't released the PS5 numbers since like... May? It must have grown quite a bit since then.When half your userbase is on the previous generation console 4 years in... yeah you have a problem.
Especially when even people with the new generation consoles are playing old gen games.
Console sales isn't what makes people think its doomed. It's everything else.
Why wouldn't it? People still use it to play video games.Switch doesn't count.
Mat does have access to the data though. It's much better to ask him questions and get some data than us getting no data at all.
Then he should publish it.
He wants corporations, outlets etc to buy that data.
Depends on how much Xbox Series has lost.Yep, PS5 is 7% above PS4 in the US so there is growth there at least. other markets, especially more price conscious regions, have made it fall 1M behind globally but the PS4 had a Pro already at this point and pricecuts. I think the PS5 is doing better than the PS4 all things considered.
He provided numbers in the tweetSick of this guy. Just provide numbers or don't.
To be more precise, the console market is growing every generation in revenue but little compared with the insane cost growth of making AAA games.It's not dying... but it ain't growing either. Which is why PS games are coming to PC![]()
Not in the case of Sony, having still a ton of people still on PS4 doesn't mean PS5 has issues to grow:When half your userbase is on the previous generation console 4 years in... yeah you have a problem.
What particular data do you want him to publish?Then he should publish it.
