After sales of the PlayStation 5 failed to meet expectations, Sony has said the console is entering the latter stage of its life cycle.

lol the fix for this is releasing more games, not a new console

The Switch was past its prime when it released. It literally has mobile hardware that was 2 or 3 years old by the time it came out.

The fix for this is to ship enough units to meet initial demand and have protections in place to deter and punish scalpers.

After the first shipments of PS5s were sold out in stores, demand all but fell off. Even after stores started stocking them again sales never recovered because by then the hype died.

Nah, they need to get to the digital console gen so they can not only push game msrp as high as they want and so they don't "lose" sales to the used market.

I mean seriously just switch out GPUs and motherboards and call it a day. That chonk unit of a console is big enough to maintain cooling for new parts.

Well if there are enough units to meet demand there wont be any scalpers.

But that only covers the initial release anyway. At this point PS6 wont even have any initial release hype

PS1 and PS2 maybe, as those are easy enough to emulate. PS3 probably isnt happening as that CPU was a bitch.

The reason Microsoft could do backwards compatibility is that every Xbox has been x86 as far as Im aware. So the newer Xboxes supported all the instruction sets etc.

PlayStation wasnt x86 until the PS4, and the PS3s CPU was notoriously complicated to develop for and emulate, etc.

There are very strong rumors that the Switch 2 is releasing this year. I love the Switch, but it's definitely past its prime now.

There are very strong rumors that the Switch 2 is releasing every year.

At this point take them with the tiniest grain of salt you can until Nintendo says something.

Sony is porting most of their exclusives to Steam after a time delay. If you count the number of exclusives that are not on PS4 or PC (and arent likely to be on PC after a year or two), there arent many. Demons Souls is the only one I can think of, as Spider-Man 2 and the FF remakes will definitely be on Steam eventually.

Fuck consoles, called this a while back with the shit show this console gen was. Told my friends that was why MS was focusing on software and GamePass than drawing attention to XSX, and why Sony wasn't honestly doing much of anything besides pushing exclusives.

The game industry is a fucking mess right now, I'll stick to PC until it gets sorted out. At least I can keep my shit I buy, one way or another.

This November the console turns four years old, and with Sony now saying it is entering the second half of its life cycle, thoughts will inevitably turn to the next-generation and the PS6.

Assuming it took 4 years to get to "halftime", another 4 years till the PS6 comes out, that's about the normal life cycle of a PlayStation.

PlayStation was 1996
PS2 was 2000
PS3 was 2006
PS4 was 2013
PS5 was 2020

So 6-7 years is the normal "life cycle" for a PlayStation.

You have a good point... at least, that's how it was for me. I was wanting one at launch, but they were all sold out constantly, and I just ended up sticking with my PC and that's where I'll be staying for now on.

I don't think sales for the PS5 are that bad actually. It appears 3 years in, they are only slightly behind where the Switch was 3 years in, and that's after not having a good first year due to COVID reducing supply capabilities.

People are still buying this console even if the game output has been relatively eh.

Its selling pretty well, they just wanted to sell 25 million consoles during the fiscal year which is pretty damn crazy. Not like they have a console for cheaper than 400 and most of what was available during the holidays were bundle deals which are 50 bucks more expensive. I never saw no bundle, digital edition anywhere.

seems like he means it's headed towards the latter stage of its cycle because he's expecting it to start selling less for its next fiscal year:

Sony senior vice president Naomi Matsuoka said the company now expects the sales pace of the PS5 to start falling from the next fiscal year, which begins April 2024 and runs until the end of March 2025.

Looking ahead, PS5 will enter the latter stage of its life cycle, Matsuoka is quoted as saying. As such, we will put more emphasis on the balance between profitability and sales. For this reason, we expect the annual sales pace of PS5 hardware will start falling from the next fiscal year.

because it wasn't

they've made it better, of course, but when the ps5 launched the list of BC titles was paltry and not to be taken for granted.

hell there are still ps4 games i bought that aren't compatible on ps5

Such as? The only two I'm aware of is Dead Nation and AC Syndicate, the latter of which I thought has been fixed.

Like this is all I can find

As mentioned, thankfully there are not many PS4 games that don't work on PS5. But here is the list of the ones that will still require you to hang onto the PS4.

This list has shrunk by about three or four titles since the PS5 first launched, so there is still hope for those that remain.

Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One
Hitman Go: Definitive Edition
Just Deal With It!
Robinson: The Journey
Shadwen
We Sing

The BC is perfectly fine
