I admire the PS5 blackout crowd, however, I don't think it works. For one, Sony's own CFO already said the blackout won't move the needle which could of course be taken as possibly bluster...except the stock went up after the disc announcement, not down. For two, by and large, no one is actually going to skip GTA 6.
