So… The PS5 pro lasted for a while huh.
At this point I‘m going to assume they‘ll both essentially be handheld PCs. It‘s the only device I could even imagine a market for in 2 years.
It seems soon because it feels like barely anything came out in terms of exclusives for the PS5. Naughty Dog didn’t even come out with anything that wasn’t a remake.
Didn’t Microsoft buy up a shitton of studios- killing some of them? I wouldn’t consider exclusives a good indicator of health necessarily.
the ps5 just came out, what do you mean
Too early. It doesn’t even feel like the current generation has really established. Just got the PS5 Pro, and don’t think it’s such a big improvement over the base model. PS6? - na thanks!
Not that the PS5 was a major upgrade to the PS4. Sure it can produce some better graphics, but the UI is such a downgrade.
I’ll never understand why they made an option to silence the beep at startup, but they push the boot up and login music through the TV when headphones are connected to a controller. That’s so much more annoying and last so much longer when you’re trying not to disturb other people in the room.
Nothing is better than the xmb on ps3. I hate the new UIs.
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.
Big mistake. They barely have games for the current gen.
Even if I was in the market the way they manufacturer & sell them you won’t get one for list price for the first year or two
Too soon. I still haven’t got a PS5 yet.
Nah, I’m good.
I used to say PC + Nintendo, but Switch 2 looks like enshittification caught up with Nintendo.
So just PC now.
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.
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?
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.
At the very least, the console cycles are a good indicator of when it makes sense to build a new PC.
breaking news! new console to come out at the end of current generation.
I wonder how much they’re paying Rockstar to delay The Only New Release of that generation; which will doubtless be available on PS5/XSX anyway.
They can see the writing on the wall and know their largest market won’t have the spending power it has now, so make hay while the sun shines.
Nah, this is about where the last two console cycles would release new hardware. It’s the confluence of a lot of things at work here.
It just feels really early since covid fucked us out of a proper world for a while. Massive supply issues meant devs were forced to cater for the previous generation too. They’ve only really just got started pushing what this gen is capable of.
I got the Series S (the weaker xbox) and already it cant handle the new games. I mean it can, but the framerate suffers and it makes me nauseous when I turn the camera. Makes some beautiful screenshots, just cant actually play them.

I can’t believe it’s already been almost 6 years.
