    Not enough to make the sales numbers they will need with this release. They need every single person who wants this game to have next gen in their hands.

    Not just, "plenty of us on Operation Sports have them."

    I don't foresee it being released until people can go into a store and buy one on demand rather than having to hunt and search for one.

      13.4 million PS5s and 8 million Xs sold worldwide, yep that seems like plenty to me.

        When I said here, I didnt mean OS… Should have said out there, meaning the world.

          Where was it said that sales numbers were the reasoning behind the delay?

              I wouldn't be shocked if we hear about the oncoming PS6 before most of us are able to even get a PS5...

                Doubt the game will be available for anything other than current gen.

                  I don't think it was unless I missed something? I thought it was pretty clear that was an assumption some were making?

                    I agree. Why would they rush a game out on platforms that were not readily available? I can't find a PS5 going the usual routes and I won't pay over MSRP in this life. The graphic jump just isn't enough gen to gen anymore. This is now the third gen that is HD. Once I find a digital only PS5 for $400 I am in. No bundles.

                      Same..

                      And I'm not spending time on lists or rushing to some website and hoping to get through, etc -- screw all of that.

                      I think EA is smart enough to realize that the target market for a PGA game is largely all in this same camp.

                        Im going to be 100% honest. That doesn't matter. At all.

                        What do game sales look like compared to console sales... If 13mil consoles were sold but a lot are hoarded and people still cant buy in stores on-demand, then that 13mil probably doesn't tell you the whole picture.

                        Nobody is hunting down a PS5 or XSX, whatever the cost, just to play the newest EA PGA game.

                          ^^You are exactly right.

                          If 2k isn't working on a nex gen advancement for the current PGA Tour 2k21, and just working on fixing stuff and some other enhancements (I'll still buy it on opening day if that's all it is), then they would be very wise to release whatever they have by early spring. EA is very wise to wait until just about anyone can get a PS5, and has had one for awhile.

                          It would be dumb for them to rush their game and release it in the Spring just to get it out there before the Masters.

                            Same. I’m waiting until I can order online with ease for retail price or simply walk into Walmart and get a ps5. Not playing the rat race.

                            I wish EA would give us a new timeline though.

                              *raises hand* There's at least one.
