Ampere Analysis warns that pricing PS6 and Xbox Helix at $1,000 could cut the next-gen install base by about 39 million units over five years and reduce player spending by roughly 12% in the first three years, risking a lost generation; to avoid this, the report suggests delaying launches, subsidizing hardware, or pursuing more radical innovations, with Nintendo’s cheaper Switch 2 adding price pressure.

TV Season Gaps Hit Record High, Study Finds

A new Ampere Analysis study shows the average wait between seasons on major streaming platforms has risen to about 21 months in 2024–25, up from 10 months in 2016 and 16 months in 2021. Longer gaps are common for sci‑fi/fantasy and other VFX-heavy shows, driven by bigger production schedules and cinematic ambitions. While some high-profile delays build anticipation, they also carry the risk of subscribers canceling, with about 54% of respondents indicating they’d quit a service over long waits. The piece cites examples like HBO’s House of the Dragon, Apple TV+’s Severance, and Netflix’s Stranger Things to illustrate the broader trend toward extended hiatuses between seasons.

Longer gaps boost premiere-month engagement (Stranger Things saw a ~300% rise in H2 2025 ahead of its final season) but raise churn risk, as 54% of U.S. viewers in Q1 2026 would cancel a subscription if they’re not using it regularly; streamers must balance blockbuster production timelines with a steady flow of content.
