Akuryu 02/20/24 8:56:40 AM #17:	"PS5 has no games / just a bunch of PS4 games." People need to adjust their thinking when it comes to consoles. It's not like the old days when a new console meant new experiences you could only get if you bought it. A new console now is just a hardware refresh. More power. The PS5 is just a PS4 with higher specs. Xbox Series are just more powerful Xbox Ones. I'm sure most early PS6 / NextBox games will run just fine on PS5 / Series X. You might wonder "well then why even buy one?" but again, you're thinking like the old days. New consoles aren't about new experiences. They are about higher resolutions and better framerates. Shinier graphics. Playing new games at their best. In this respect, console gaming is more similar to PC gaming than ever. We don't label a PC game with a generation. It'd just a PC game. How well it runs will depend on your hardware. <cite>Akuryu posted [p:978941542] in Is PS5 the...

SpiritSephiroth 02/20/24 9:58:36 AM #32:	Even without exclusives, consoles will still be a thing. The mainstream audience will prefer a console to a PC, always having to upgrade a PC's parts now and then, whilst optimizing a game whenever there are troubleshooting problems. A console gets rid of all that. And before you say "its easy", I'm a PC gamer and yes, for us its no problem. But even then I've had trouble with a few games now and then with countless issues that have to be troubleshooted before it runs properly. So no, the PS5 would never be useless.

May I remind you that Horizon Forbidden West is coming out for PC in a few days, and Sony is now more focused on bringing their first party games to PC too? Both consoles were supply constrained and even though the Series S was easier to find, people still hunted for a PS5 over it. (The Series S unsurprisingly outsold the Series X). Let's be honest: The Xbox One reveal conference is still haunting Microsoft. It was a disaster and Microsoft shot themselves in the foot and basically gifted the generation to Sony. People started their console digital libraries on PS4 and there's nothing pulling those gamers from the PS ecosystem to the Xbox side. Game Pass console subscriptions have stalled, it only seems to be the PC Game Pass subscriptions which are moving upwards. Not sure what Horizon has to do with anything. I'm talking about Xbox releasing their games on PC on the same time as Xbox. If/when Sony does the same, they'll encounter the same issue with people being less willing to invest in the next gen of hardware. <cite>Trelve posted [p:978942707] in Is PS5 the...

No, but theres a wider audience than just the people who played Palworld. PS5 exclusives, Call of Duty, Fifa, NBA 2K. Gaming consoles will probably never become obsolete, and whilst everyone owns a PC, most would prefer to play games on a dedicated gaming console. --- https://imgur.com/a/6KBlCUI https://imgur.com/TpM5kyb https://imgur.com/ZzXmr8X https://imgur.com/a/9svV8Gn https://imgur.com/a/vTiJpz3 https://imgur.com/a/j8PIo7A <cite>SpiritSephiroth posted [p:978942718] in Is PS5 the...

We won't say "that's a PS6 game" or "that's a PS7 game." It'll just be a Playstation game, for Playststion consoles (plural). Games with steeper requirements may only run on newer consoles, and as time goes on fewer games will support older Playstations.

thisworld 02/20/24 10:29:37 AM #45:	Umm no. The most useless console ever is probably RDI Halcyon (1985), also one of the rarest console ever. Never went into mass production because expensive lol $2,500. Yup, two thousand five hundred dollars in the year nineteen eighty-five. For comparison NES launched for $180. <cite>thisworld posted [p:978942799] in Is PS5 the... [t:80701204]...</cite> <quote>Umm no.

You're completely giving Sony a pass by ignoring their anti-consumer behavior and the fact that they blocked crossplay live service games, and now arrogantly removing digital content others paid for. Plenty of people are also sheeple that only listen to what the media tells them is good, and if they're too stupid to realize the fact that MS removed the DRM and introduced consumer friendly features like reintroducing backwards compatibility, then that's their problem.

hyperpowder 02/20/24 10:53:04 AM #47:	Out of consoles Ive actually own, the Series S is by far the worst. You could store 3 games before space limitations. Then if you wanted to upgrade the space you were paying over 200 dollars at the time making it both more expensive then the Series X and PlayStation 5. just a flat out awful console --- Whoever beats my score I will give them a $10 PSN or Live card: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpiorAx40GY <cite>hyperpowder posted [p:978943114] in Is PS5 the...

Trelve 02/20/24 10:54:54 AM #49:	Please tell me where I'm giving Sony a pass in my post? I just explained why customers aren't switching to Xbox. I think Sony removing digital content from their video services is abhorrent and I applaud Microsoft for their focus on backwards compatibility. These corporations aren't your friends, you don't need to defend them so much. They're here to sell you their next product. Microsoft has a massive history of anti-consumer behaviour as well as Sony. Neither company are angels. The Xbox One used games debacle was only rowed back because of the massive backlash to it. Who can forget Don Mattrick's "Just buy an Xbox 360" answer to the question about people without a solid Internet connection? Sony was punished for their arrogance with the PS3 launch. Microsoft got a kicking for the Xbox One launch. Nintendo too, if we count the Wii U. The difference is that both Sony and Nintendo turned it around. Phil Spencer hasn't changed Xbox's fortunes.
