Is the new CFB game going to be released on PS4? I still have mine, but I’ve switched to PC gaming the last couple of years. But NCAA 25 isn’t going to be released on PC right away, and I heard GTA6 was going to be the same. Those games are probably what get me to finally upgrade to the PS5

My buddy is a big CFB guy and was complaining he’d have to buy a new gen console to play it

Granted I think the cheaper Xbox will also be able to play it, but with tuned down graphics. Fuck it though, I’m not poor so I’ll just get a PS5

The article states that the PS5 is responsible for significantly more gaming hours, so a large number of PS4 users are likely mainly using their device for streaming or similar. Hell, I still have my PS2 and 3 in my closet since they’re my only dvd and blu ray players.

the PS5 also has reletively low game ownership rate, so the hours on PS5 are either games given for free/part of subscription, or free to play.

No wonder either, there are strangely few games meant just for the new system, and it’s been out for several years.

this generation is odd because the effects of covid are still being felt.

I have yet to buy a PS5 because there isn’t a game I want yet. Also, Sony tends to release improved consoles with lower price points and smaller footprints after a few years.

For some reason that doesn’t surprise me. When I got a PS4 there were like at least 10 exclusives I wanted. This gen seems it’s mostly remasters and remakes. So ignoring that Sony games come to PC now it doesn’t even meet my criteria of number of exclusives to justify picking one up.

I sure do. A lot of it is Beat Saber, but it is quite a lot.

I’ll get a PS5 in like, 4 years. Maybe. If I find something I absolutely need on it.

as other’s have said, console makes pretty good all purpose media center unless you are a high end electronic waste snob.
