As COVID-19 continues to disrupt life around the world, veteran analyst Piers Harding-Rolls of Ampere Analysis has published a report discussing the potential impact of the pandemic on next-gen consoles.
Market intelligence firms unanimously agree that the global recession will have a serious impact on consumers? purchasing power. Harding-Rolls predicts that the impact will be felt ?more significantly later in 2021? after the initial surge of early adopters dies down. He?s also of the view that since next-gen consoles will be backwards compatible and ?most? new third-party games will support older consoles as a result, players impacted by the recession won?t feel the need to upgrade their hardware right away.
