Sales is up compared to last year but still doesn’t meet target? Hmm… this infinite growth thing is harder than I though.
Especially when you’re not gonna get repeat sales “I really like my PS5, I should go buy another!”
Kind of what happens when you start talking about a new version when the last one still really isn’t getting games.
Look at the “new releases” and the majority are PS4 or early that get “remade” and a new release date, or just straight shovelware.
Eh, the MSRP isn’t a big worry for me, that makes sense
What sucks about PlayStation pricing is they keep MSRP except for sales for way too long.
Like, I saw last year’s Madden for $12 and almost got it, then it went off sale and back to $70 like a new one isn’t coming out in a few months.
Rather than off sale prices slowly going down
Eh, games have been $50-60 for literal decades, despite inflation and the massive increase in expected content. Everything else I can get behind, but games should be more expensive than they were.
I already got a PC. Why should I buy another big bulky thing just to play a few extra games?
You shouldn’t buy a Tesla…
No one suggested you buy one of those, but no one suggested you buy a PS5 either.
Not gonna lie, when they were first released, I really wanted to get one, but their scarcity and price made me wait, and wait, and then the lack of games I cared for made me kinda rethink buying one. I got a steam deck instead and love it. All the old games i had before, I could still play and newer games that i wanted go on sale quite often, plus its portable. I honestly dont see any big reason to buy a console anymore.
It would be cool to see the Steam Deck model turned into a wider model for selling gaming PCs in different formats. A higher powered “Steam Deck” that looks and feels like a console but works internally like a PC, gives root access, can support any PC hardware, allows for upgrades and repairs, etc.
I blame Jim Ryan. PS should have never greenlit so many GaaS projects. Almost all of them were cancelled . Sony needs to focus what it does best: quality, single player games.
Well yeah there’s no games on it. Between PC and ps4, there’s not much I cant play.
Yeah.
We’re up to three games I’d get a PS5 for, and chances are that number will go back down to zero soon enough through PC ports.
- Stellar Blade
- DS2
- Rebirth
