It’s not surprising to expect the PS5 to sell better than PS4 back in 2013 because, for one, the company has already confirmed that there will be more units available at launch as compared to back in 2013.

Moreover, PS5 has a better collection of launch titles such as Demon Soul’s, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Godfall available day one in contrast to the PS4’s launch titles that only had Killzone Shadow Fall and Knack. Not to mention upcoming titles such as Horizon Forbidden West and the God Of War Sequel.

Jim Ryan in the same interview also assured fans, saying that the PS5 will excite the gamers with the best exclusive games on the market, all of which will be a true-next generation experience.

PS5 launches November 12 in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea, whereas the rest of the world gets it on November 19, 2020.
