This console generation seems skippable (lemm.ee)

I've never skipped a console gen starting from Super NES, PS1 through 4 plus the Switch Oled 5 years after launch of the OG Switch

It seems like exclusives are rarer now with Sony and Xbox pushing games to PC and Nintendo spending resources on remasters. COVID made it incredibly difficult to own a PS5 and they have some disappointing exclusives as well

What do you think? Any reason to own a PS5 or PS5 pro?

I'll admit, since most games are playable on the ps4 instead, currently it does make some sense to skip ps5.

The only ones I can think of that I wouldn't have missed are Returnal and Spiderman 2, but returnal is pretty difficult and not for everyone. I wouldn't have missed Spider-man 2, but I loved the first one. It's pretty short but amazing.

That being said, I love the speed and graphics of the PS5. Worth it to me for that.
