I have been thinking about this as of late. When the PS4/Xbox One launched, we were still early in people having mostly digital content. Back then, both consoles did not have BC implemented. With the PS5 and Series X/S we will have people with large amounts of digital content. With both of them supporting BC and some of the games having updates to take advantage of the new consoles I am wondering/hoping that they are ready.
We have seen so many games that have launched that have Day 1 issues due to network issues and/or the servers not being able to handle the load. With what looks like a complete sell out of both the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles that not only will need system updates, we are looking at a lot of games needing updates and people buying a lot more digital content on launch day. Will they be ready? Will the servers explode? I personally would be pretty pissed if I can't enjoy my new console because of "network outages/network overload".
