Only 1 less year than the ps4 pro. It’s not really that bad. I don’t own it, but I don’t mind that it exists. If it was cheaper and I had a better tv that took advantage of its features, maybe I would have swapped for it.
sometimes it feels like the world is kinda moving off consoles for being too restrictive. and I wonder if there will be a future where these two companies just keep making consoles to fight each other while not selling any.
just two giant, hot black chunks of plastic locked in an eternal battle of corporate obliviousness for all eternity.

you don’t have to take every single thing a person says as gospel, man. this isn’t reddit. we can just have a conversation without everything being an argument.
I still have stuff as far back as DOS and Win9x titles on my shelves. Sure I have to use virtual machines and emulators these days since I’m not willing to buy or hold onto old hardware but I’m still able to do this on modern PC which is the main point: freedom.
I only care about exclusives anymore which is an artificial value yep.
There are some exceptions like PS2 was my DVD movje player and PS3 was Bluray movie player and what I used Universal Media Server with back then streaming from my PC. Not just the games, but there were games too. Plus weird stuff on PSN like Trash Panic or Tokyo Jungle.
Also I refuse to pay for online play and I stuck to it.
I only got a ps5 two years ago and I’m set with games for years. I’m still working through PS4 games I never got round to. The idea of a new playstation at this point, particularly after the chip shortage debacle, seems absolutely absurd.
The last time a console generation lined up with a giant economic crisis we got the Kinect and PlayStation Move instead and a proper console release was delayed until 2013.
I could see this being pushed to 2030, easy, if it happens at all.
They should release consoles when there’s a significant leap in hardware that devs are waiting to take advantage of. The last few console releases have been boring. Don’t get me started on not only the lack of games but the lack of new types of games. Too many remakes and remasters demanding high prices.
We’ve got tons of new types of games that have emerged over the years, but they sprout up at different levels of system requirements. The games that need the new hardware are the ones with the largest development budgets.
What even happened in this generation? There was nothing that separated it lmao. Realistically the only thing the next gen can add over this is full ray tracing from ground up, even something like frame gen would be proper embarrassing because a console is supposed to have all graphics baked in.
If MS goes Windows on Xbox then that might genuinely be the way forward atp

But why? They are barely supporting the current hardware.
I’m guessing the cash cow needs some milking. Especially with new lucrative technology lurking around the corner. “Milk before it’s overdue”
investors want new product. lack of new product is ‘stagnation’.
Gotta get those stock buybacks to raise the “value”!
whenever i buy a new game i tell myself I’m investing in myself.
So… The PS5 pro lasted for a while huh.
Three years or so.

Already? Before even the 5th game launched?
Oh boy.

While it might not feel like anyone cares about consoles, they are still selling a lot of them.
I just wonder what customer satisfaction is. You can get a fool to waste their money only so many times. Buyers Remorse was the PS4 for me.
…
The PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 are both ridiculously successful.
it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously.
edit …really? guys take it easy jeez.
Nothing funnier than a statement with no basis in reality, I guess?

The joke didn’t work, move on. It’s not like they insulted anyone.
Nah, I’m good.
I used to say PC + Nintendo, but Switch 2 looks like enshittification caught up with Nintendo.
So just PC now.

This is de way.
I can play my steam games I bought over a decade ago on any hardware. Its awesome. I just got hadies 2 as well and it works flawlessly on the SD.
And that’s just steam. I just don’t see buying an Xbox/PSehatever/switch5000. Most games come out for everything now. Who cares?

Steam Deck ftw
I would have disagreed a month ago but Sonic Racing has removed my biggest reason to consider getting a Switch 2. PC really has it all. Blessed.
At the very least, the console cycles are a good indicator of when it makes sense to build a new PC.

Big mistake. They barely have games for the current gen.
I only got a ps5 two years ago and I’m set with games for years. I’m still working through PS4 games I never got round to. The idea of a new playstation at this point, particularly after the chip shortage debacle, seems absolutely absurd.
Good luck with the tarriffs…

Better bet your ass that Copilot will be on whatever M$ decides to push out.
And then not release a single game built for or exclusive to it until 2035. Hard pass.
I have no interest with the way the industry’s going. Not to mention it will probably cost $700 or more.
