I have a PS4 Slim and I've been very happy with it, so much so that I'm not sure what a PS5 would give me that I don't already have or want in a machine. Besides exclusives, I guess, but that stuff is totally under wraps, given that hyped heavy hitters Last of Us 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and Ghost of Tsushima are coming out for PS4.

there is no point in buying a new console until there are games worth playing on it, idk why people even humor the thought of buying near launch

I have Gamespot gift cards and GS is near death and my PS4 optical drive is dead. First time I’ll be buying a new system ASAP.GTA though? Man, that’s been downhill from 4 on.

It would be be Spider-Man 2 for me. But I don't know, something about the general anxiety of this year might lead to just get this and maybe the MS one too

would be pretty shitty not to since its all one account and the backwards compatibility is there unlike previous gen ups

did games libraries survive the jump from PS3 to PS4 / 360 to xbox one? I can't remember
― ||||||||, Friday, 12 June 2020 18:26 (three years ago) link
i may be wrong but i think that gen was digital-purchase dominant only near the end of its lifecycle so it was less of a point of contention.

If gta 6 is locked at 30 fps I will cry
― calstars, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 00:43 (two months ago) link
lol that’d be good for us but everything is a huge engine of market-facing stock, unfortunately. I guess Sony could go all-in on library and indie game stuff for a year but they’d still have to be pumping money into things behind the scenes or we get nothing in the next few years. these things don’t immaculately spring from the forehead of PS5

Well, we've already discussed Sony announcing a long wait for new first party releases, I wonder if this means they are hoping their completion coincides with the release of the Pro.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 12:51 (two months ago) link

I think the only (non-Nintendo) game - new, used, physical or digital - I have ever paid full price for was "Elden Ring". It's a good question, though: if all games were $50-$70 and *stayed* $50-$70, how many games would I ever actually buy? A lot fewer, that's for sure. It'd honestly probably be an incentive to pay for PS+ or whatever.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 14:23 (two months ago) link
aren't you buying three or four for every one you play, though?
― ɥɯ ︵ (°□°) (mh), Tuesday, 19 March 2024 14:29 (two months ago) link
For sure, that's the collector in me. But those three or four are usually $12 or less, new or used, which helps justify impulse purchases (if waiting for prices to fall that low can be considered impulsive, though many new or used PS4 games seem to be hovering around that price point anyway).

Maybe because reading one news article becomes a self-perpetuating algorithmic cycle of repetition, but I keep getting served stories about the PS5 Pro built around the premise: why?
