Juergen Stark, CEO of the company, has very high expectations with the upcoming Sony and Microsoft consoles from Christmas 2020.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Project Scarlett, the next-generation consoles of Sony and Microsoft, respectively, will arrive in stores during the Christmas period of 2020 and, as usual during the last weeks, important companies in the sector have begun to share their expectations and forecasts with both in different fields.
2021 and 2022, years of big sales in the console market
In the case of the firm responsible for peripherals Turtle Beach, its CEO Juergen Stark has shared in an interview what he expects from both systems, with which he will work over the years to offer his derivative products, from headphones to other peripherals.
"PlayStation 5 is expected to feature 3D surround audio designed to shine with headphones," he begins. “Xbox is working on the integrated cloud game to reduce the entry barrier in order to play new titles,” with services such as the Xbox Game Pass, which offers first party titles from the day of departure. Stark continues to add that "both are very exciting developments" because "they will establish a new ceiling in graphics and processing power."
With a PlayStation 4 that has already exceeded 102 million units sold worldwide and an Xbox One that, according to unofficial estimates, borders 50 million, for the CEO of Turtle Beach all these improvements will have an impact on the first two years PS5 and Xbox Project Scarlett for sale are better than we are used to, where the high price initially represents a barrier for many people.
"If this new cycle of consoles follows the pattern we expect, the first year or the first two after launch will show an average growth above normal in consoles and console accessories." For Turtle Beach, the greater the sale of consoles, the greater the volume of potential buyers they will have to offer their peripherals.
Be that as it may, the DFC consultant foresees that the 2021 and 2022 cycles will be record numbers in terms of console distribution; but they do not detail if they are also contemplating the position of Nintendo Switch in the market or if they only take into account the new machines of Sony and Microsoft. It should be added that, as of the current date, the sale price to the public that neither of them will have is unknown; Nor is its catalog of launch games.
