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 liked the price point of the PS5 vs getting a solid gaming PC.

Returnal is one of my favorite games of the last few years.

Demon's Souls is a delight for the eyes, as well. And I loved being able to replay such a classic PS3 game, even if Bluepoint modified the art direction from the original in certain ways.

FF16 was incredible, I don't care if they trimmed down the jrpg elements

Sony seems content sending many of its exclusives over to PC after a few years, which I'm grateful for. So if you've got a PC I wouldn't see a huge need for a PS5.

Good point, but Returnal is on PC and you can play with mouse kB, Demon Souls is a remaster of something I played on PS3 which blew my mind then. And FF16 has mixed reviews. I'm more into FF7 part 2, but the complete dlc edition will eventually reach PC as well.
