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?

PC gaming's grown a ton since, in particular, 2016 when the 1000 series of nvidia cards released. I've seen all my gaming spaces become more and more PC oriented, with Nintendo Switch often serving as the accessory console to the PC.

PS5's flopped in terms of actually having anything interesting and unique, and Xbox fits nicely into the PC gaming space anyways.

This isn't a lemmy thing. This is you being behind the times and struggling to keep up.
