The only big difference between then and now is the successful console launch. Otherwise you have:

-No games (R&C being this year's only big confirmed announcement should be worrying)
-DualSense quality control issues
-allergies to backwards compatibility, something even the original PS3 fully embraced
-An overemphasis on flashy designs and an SSD rather than practical, durable hardware
-An abundance of dead IPs and no new ones in sight
-The CEO being a new releases hypebeast who doesn't care about letting you keep all your games together
-And an overreliance on paid for exclusives to keep people invested

I hope they have a long-term plan because once the stock stabilizes I can see Xbox and Nintendo being closer competitors now that they have great consoles to compete with

Remember they also want to focus on only big blockbuster games now too

So I agree with most of this but

SSD is a massive upgrade and an essential feature for gaming at this point

Assuming you use a good SSD.

Is the PS5 one good?

From what I can gather, it's very good, although I believe the same holds true for the XBSX too.

It is

But SSD or flash storage also a standard on all next gen consoles

Hell they couldn't even be arsed to give you a full 1TB like Xbox did

What the fuck kinda number is 825GB

Sony is so hellbent on "delivering cinematic experiences" that the increased complexities of the technology are taking their toll on the development cycles.

He sounds like one of those types who thinks old movies are crap because they're in black and white.

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.
