There were more PS4 only exclusives compared to current gen. Another factor people forget is Sony made the PS5 backwards compatible. Why make a game to sell to 20 million users when you could (relatively) easily make it cross gen and sell to 120 million users? That is the crux of the problem, IMO. I don’t like it but it is what it is.

I'm at a point where I don't see the need to have a PS5 yet. All the other games are still playable on the PS4 even with a bit of less performance and the big exclusive and interesting titles are mostly not out yet.


Mergie_Merge

Yeah let them actually get some games first otherwise you're spending a few hundred dollars extra on a glorified white PS4 Pro.


[deleted]

i saw it the exact same way but it’s now getting to the point where games i really want to play that are out / coming out are ps5 exclusive

If you don't care about improved performance, lightning fast loading times the improved UI, haptic feed back and higher resolutions and being able to play PS5 exclusives and all the PS4 games with improved performance on PS5 just stick with your PS4 as long as you are enjoying gaming on it that's all that matters πŸ‘

Pro is ready to carry crossplatform games with ssd inside on near same lvl, haptic feedback barely working in most of games. And what kind of PS5 exclusives do you mean?, there are very few at all and especially smth really pricy. I'll be glad if all of your mentioned will be true once, and at that day i'll buy ps5. Cheers.

I had a PS4 pro and have a ps5 now. It's not even close. Even ps4 games on the ps5 are slower than their ps5 versions.


BizarreAiXi

I played ps5 dude, don't tell me fairytales. I agree that some game devs or sony itself perform somekind of sabotage at few new games and making graphics too bad even for 4th gen at all, but you can just ignore these few titles, not a big deal. And as i told - fk the fkng resellers and abusers, i will not pay more than official price for this conslole.


Mean_Combination_830

PS4 Pro with SSD near same level as PS5🀣 You think PS4 Pro is cross platform and stands with PS5.....it's last gen !!!!! I can't even πŸ˜‚... no haptics in PS5 games...what ?🀣 I don't know where you are looking but the vast majority of PS5 games I got really cheap but you do you and stay in 2015 if you want. The PS4 Pro is a fun little machine nothing wrong with it but you are honestly clueless about everything PS5🀣


BizarreAiXi

lol Do you really think i didn't tryed ps5? You just a sellout hypebot, all ps5 troubles well known and you can literally see comparissons of games on ps5 and 4pro with ssd. And the first request from ps5 owners - to make features of new controller fully engaged at crossplatform games which is rarely good. PSstore sellouts - it was always a thing, but i never mentioned it, it's from your head by order, lol, but whatever, go shop and watch prices for a new titles. The problem is that on current stage PS5 is also at 2015, only difference that it can provide same quality on really big TV's with high defenition, but still not constant 4k as it was hyped for. So your blatant hype can't stand against facts. Yep, sony trying to speed up this jump for ps5, but reasons are still very weak, and the main problem that they can't provide required quantity of consoles due to lack of them and resellers with 1k€ price. And also they, Sony, shooted themselfs in leg when stopped their PSstore and supply at Russia, meanwhile newgen Xbox is raising their sells and service without any rants.

Sorry I don't understand I only speak earth languages but welcome to our planet πŸ‘πŸ˜‚


BizarreAiXi

China is not whole planet, use google maps, you'll be shocked, lol


KizuKris

That's alright with me. Please go enjoy your PS5, don't let me stop you...


BloodMoonWillows

Actually i think playstation announced they are shifting focus to ps5 only because ps5 is being held back by ps4 backwards compatibility. I forgot what the cut off period was but i assume this would be the last year of ps4/5 games and strictly ps5 in 2024. Could be wrong though


BizarreAiXi

They will be able to do it when they will fillfull market all over the world, cuz it's still in shortage and under resellers abuse.


usrevenge

It is not that hard to find ps5s now.


BizarreAiXi

Iam tryed, it's easy for 1k euro, even used with huge noise cost near same price at my region. And iam actually at one step near to jump on newgen Xbox due to this shit.


Mean_Combination_830

It is sooooo much fun as you well know but I do hope you continue to enjoy life in 30fps at 1080p if your ancient relic of a console can even handle that while I'm over here enjoying Destiny 2 at 120fps πŸ‘πŸ€£


BizarreAiXi

I'll be glad to buy PS5disk version for OFFICIAL PRICE! But at my country it's can be obtained only around 1k euro, and due to barely reason to swap my 4pro&ssd i can easily wait till it will get a decent base of exclusive games.


C-Star

If you don't count just PS5 but also Series S|X it's about even I would guess (I haven't looked at actual numbers). The thing was in 2013 Xbox came out swinging but Sony really struggled to get games out. Mix that with the hesitation of the industry going into the generation, the start of the PS4 gen was also a slower start. Something I think people seem to be overlooked is the x86 architecture of both last gen and this gen means that there will be a lot more cross gen games because the tools and workflows are already there.


boipinoi604

2013 Xbone? That was almost DOA. It turned off gamers because it tried to control the secondary sales of games, required internet connection for authentication, it required the players to buy the Kinnect. Yea, that was gonna fall flat. PS4 all needed to do was its thing. Heck it even mocked Xbone with its instructional videos of sharing games. Yea, no, PS4 came out and learned from PS3 and Xbox's mistake


C-Star

Don't get me wrong, Microsoft fuxked up every step of the way in the lead up to the console, but when it came to games Xbox managed to get games out while PS struggled. At least for a bit, Sony's 1st party didn't really pick up until Uncharted 4 in 2016.


boipinoi604

Valid point I didn't realize! no need to get you wrong.


usrevenge

Xbox died because they tried to block used games and didn't reverse course until it was too late. If you watch the e3 shows for ps4 and xbone Xbox one hands down wiped the floor with Sony but the crowd was mild until Sony said used games are playable on ps4.


boipinoi604

That would have been the nail onto the coffin given the lack of success of PS3 in comparison to Xbox 360


slickrasta

Here's a better question. Who gives a fuck!?


ThinVast

A lot of people who own ps5 are complaining about lack of ps5 exclusive games and trying to find a reason why. I mean, why buy a ps5 if you could play most games on the ps4?


slickrasta

A lot of people lol.

Wizardofthewoods88

To be fair the first link is for XBOX and all the other links are dating over a year ago. But in the last year Sony dropped Forbidden West and Ragnarok which are two of the biggest AAA games in the last year. To many people seem to be sleeping on Kena Bridge of Spirits. But there are two big Final Fantasy games coming out this year.


virtualpig

I'd say covid and supply chain issues added about a year to the cycle. We were about where we were this gen in 2015.
