I mean, there’s a fair reason most exclusivity is dead.

There’s a lot of cool PS4 games that just don’t run well on the PS4. So, it’s a much nicer experience to get them on PS5, at 60fps, full resolution, with instant load times.

It’s also honestly kinda nice that someone with low income can buy a used PS4 and still join for most of those games online.

I don’t know a single person that has a PS5. Apparently they sold well, but to who?

I got one, I know 3 coworkers that have one. And I have at least 5 friends with one too.

I also have about half the amount of ps5 games that I have PS4 I think too. Physical at least anyway. I have more digital not counting PS+ Extra.

I’m also not a console only guy. I have a bazzite PC for a lot of games. But I prefer the big story ones to be played on my living room on my big 4k TV with my Dolby atmos setup. Plus every now and then you get an absolute gem like Astro Bot or the visual wonder if the Demon’s Souls remake (how have they not given Bloodborne the same treatment like what the heck)

I didn’t mean it as an insult but a genuine question. I still play games online to this day with friends joining in on PS4 and Xbox One. I bought Stray when it came out on the PS4 and that was less than three years ago. And not ever seeing or hearing about anyone buying a PS5 it seems to me like the Xbox One/PS4 generation is still going today.

Most of my “PS5” games are actually PS4 games with extra features/enhancements when played on the PS5.

I own only 1 game that was built for and is only available on a PS5: Demon’s Souls. Which, other than Bloodborne, was the primary reason I got the console in the first place.

It doesn’t just sit around gathering dust, like some others have stated. Since my PC is getting old and increasingly more unsupported by newer games, if I pirate a thing/play a demo on PC and it runs poorly (and I also like it enough to want it), I’m more likely to get it on the console if it’s not a multiplayer game.

And wasn’t that a remaster of a PS3 game?

It’s a whole ass remake, so more than a remaster, but yes.

I haven’t had a console outside of the switch since early Xbox one and ps4 era. There just hasn’t been a reason for me to buy one since the ps3/360 era

The shelf would only have Bloodborne and Demon’s Souls on it

Bloodborne is a PS4 game so it would just be Demon’s Souls.

Well, there’s also Persona 5 Royal. But, like Bloodborne and The Demon’s Souls remake, it’s just a different version of an earlier game…
