I think it's hard to to recognize it because we're living in it, but this is a pretty trashy beginning to this gen.

Agree or nah?

Definitely. Dont remember a launch where months went by and it was still pretty difficult to buy the console and your best hope was to buy them at double the price through ebay.

My backwards compatibility machine runs rather nice but it's nothing special outside of that.

Well I got both at launch with the newest oled model tv last year it's been pretty nifty wish the ps5 was a little smaller it's a eyesore in my setup.

How much PS5 have they sold is it significantly less than what they launched PS4 with?

As others have pointed out, Saturn.

Honestly, you could throw any of the mid to late 90's consoles that weren't made by Sony or Nintendo into the mix.

People like the Jaguar and Saturn now for nostalgia purposes, but man oh man it was crummy back then.

I don't have any links on hand but I believe I remember hearing that the numbers are up compared to previous launches

I mean, it's not like there's much to play on the new consoles that you can't also play on PS4 or Xbone.

like it really matters... in 7 years~ people will put up their horse blinders and willfully ignore horrendous launches and early game-lacking years just like they did with the ps3 and ps4 while putting them up there with the best of console gens.

Feels like they weren't meant to launch in 2020 to me. There's no fucking games.

Though realistically until a year has passed, I'm not sure you can 100% quantify a console launch as a failure.

Though I will admit it shaping up to be a stinker for both consoles

Rumor is that the PS5 is supposedly not doing well as expected in Japan for multiple reasons.

So was the Wii

but that was less because people were trying to scalp them for insane prices and in insane amounts of consoles but more because everybody was trying to get them.

So, have there even been any sort of exclusive games launched for either PS5 or...whatever Xbox's new system is called?

Jesus this is the first time in my life I've been so out of the loop with a new console launch, that I'm even asking this question or can't even remember the name of the new Xbox...

I feel like last gens launch was worse because there was hardly anything to play and also no backwards compatibility. At least this go around you get the incredibly novel backwards compatibility that breaths a lot of new life into older games.

It may not be as bad as the PS5 but wasnt both Wii and PS2 incredibly hard to find for months after launch? They were both in very high demand even without the pandemic.

I remember when it was hard for a couple months to find a Switch when that launched. This is just ridiculous.

Yeah, it's pretty bad. Not one exclusive game for either of them. Demon's Souls is a very niche title that is also just a remake. $60 Spider-Man DLC, too.

Did a single thing even come out on the Series X? Lol.

Stick with your PS4/Switch/PC for now.

The Wii was really hard to find, but it actually had some games.

The PS5/Series X have virtually nothing.

The consoles shouldn't have come out until at least late this year or early 2022 IMO.
