These scenarios are not guarantees. They show the most likely path, the upside path, and the downside path based on the evidence available now.
The most likely path, plus upside and downside
Subscription growth rates increase moderately by 10-15% over the next quarter due to new content.
Aggressive marketing of new titles results in a 20% or greater increase in subscriber growth, particularly for Sony's PS Plus.
Competition leads to a proliferation of offerings, resulting in only marginal subscriber growth (below 5%) as market saturation is reached.
