I have yet to buy a PS5 because there isn’t a game I want yet. Also, Sony tends to release improved consoles with lower price points and smaller footprints after a few years.
Comment on 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5

For some reason that doesn’t surprise me. When I got a PS4 there were like at least 10 exclusives I wanted. This gen seems it’s mostly remasters and remakes. So ignoring that Sony games come to PC now it doesn’t even meet my criteria of number of exclusives to justify picking one up.

No wonder either, there are strangely few games meant just for the new system, and it’s been out for several years.

this generation is odd because the effects of covid are still being felt.

With or without covid, development times still got to be too long, and fewer games are the natural result of that.
