Bro if that shit failed to perform then it's on them for failing to manufacture enough. The demand was there. And it out performed the Xbox whateverthefucknow.

Bitch, you couldn't get one for a year cause of how quickly they were flying off the shelves. The fuck you mean it didn't sell well?

Technically PC is a failed platform as it failed to meet my 2 quadrillion sales to date. It will never get a PC2.

Does the ps5 even have games yet?

I would‘ve got one but after Sony fucked their own IP and me having to deal with their customer „support“ I‘m sticking to PC.

My wife and I just bought ours last November. We aren't getting anything else anytime soon, so good luck on selling more of the next gen.

I'm not the target demographic obviously but I used to have a PS2 and I was loosely following news, thinking of getting a PS5 during Covid but couldn't find one. Then I just stopped thinking about it until right now.

I bet there were a lot of people like me. Sales could have been much higher.

They are still releasing games for PS4... it will be fine.

I just want ONE GAME, I DON'T KNOW WHY

Is this like "PS5 isn't doing well, you should say your goodbyes while you can", or "latter comes after earlier" and can mean anything?

Still lasted longer than the vita

I'm over here still playing on my PS3.

C-suite should have chatted with their own people in manufacturing, I reckon

Meanwhile the PS4 hasn't even reached the former stage of it's life cycle.

Loving my PS4 Pro 😙👌

Maybe if you actually stocked the fucking console in a store, people might have bought one

I bought a PS5 so I could play PS4 games without having a jet engine in my living room and it's absolutely fantastic for that. Also Demon's Souls was very pretty and faithful to the original, very fun to get the platinum. Returnal was ok too.

All about money. Instead of making good, solid, real games that don't take up 999 wtfabytes in textures and other graphical bling with other gimmicky crap even further bloating it, we get style over substance crap that gives these rich-ass console makers more and more excuses to crank out yet another iteration of their "NEW! 0.00001% BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS GENERATION!" dead-ass consoles that should have died long ago when PC gaming took over -- not because PC graphics are better, but because PCs can do more and do EVERYTHING better.

Gaming is in a sad state right now and people don't even realize it. I honestly think if people would force themselves to see what old (80s and very early 90s) gaming offers and understand the difference in good games and style over substance trash, they'd understand how much of a clusterfuck modern gaming is. Sure, there's a small handful of good titles floating around these days, but nowhere near the amount and quality of gaming in, say, the NES days where there are more high quality games on that single console than there has been on every console in the last 15 or so years.

And I know modern gamers are going to cry about this post. Too bad. Has to be said.

Ongoing purchasing of the system suggests otherwise, but history will remember the PS5 as being a failed generation if the current trend persists. With no quantum leap of game design philosophy, a shortage of meaningful first party exclusives that aren't remakes or cross-generation titles, the advent of digital only console games, and very little in terms of collectibility, and you'll have a generation of mindless consumers playing 25 year old ideas, aggressively monetized, copy and paste objectives, physically unavailable, thinking it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I held off getting a PS5 due to the price tag, the braindead release date (during a pandemic when most people were broke as shit), and the fact that it doesn't do anything at all better than the PS4 aside from improve what's under the hood. Sony is moving all of their 1st party titles to PC anyway, so there's little need to drop $700 on an (ugly) box that doesn't even fit in my home theater setup.

What said it all really was that Shaun Layden, literally a day 1 PlayStation employee who climbed up to head of Worldwide Studios fuckin dipped before the PS5 and ever since, he's been warning about the absurd costs of AAA development.
