I thought the big thing with these ninth gen consoles was that they were powerful enough upon release that’s there’s no need for a mid gen refresh this time.

sigh literally just got my PS5 like 8 months ago.

Why do gamerstm get excited about being exploited like this instead of getting mad about being ripped off?

Lol some slightly better frame rates and visuals at best.

Don’t care. Happy with my PC, Steam Link, and now Steam Deck. Sony has been an idiot company for quite a while now. Done with them.

What even is the point of PS and Xbox?

Exclusives? And no set up too I guess. People who buy a 500 dollar gadget and 70 dollar games aren’t really strapped for cash, for sure

It’s cheaper than a gaming pc I would have to spend a lot more than 500 to get a pc that can run bg3 as well as my ps5 does

Yeah, they don’t make money on the consoles themselves

Which are an anti-consumer practice. And there aren’t really many exclusives nowadays, with notable ones being even rarer.

I guess. But that just makes it a pointless gadget that people can do just fine without.

I mean, you can argue it is a pointless gadget regardless

E: also who cares about an anti consumer practice. It’s a treat, too bad so sad

Nerds are just the dumbest type of consumer, who will buy anything they can as long as it’s got their favorite companies name on it. Any plans for a “pro” versions certainly happened during the entertainment bubble that happened during COVID, which now that it has burst, kinda makes me wonder if they won’t just shelve the thing. There’s also another purpose to any “pro” model in that it allows Sony to advertise any multiplatform game to play “best on PlayStation”

I make 15.75 an hour. Honestly I need to just build a low-mid range PC and get out of consoles at this point.

They’re going to be 600 bucks next time around and that point you might as well go PC.

Consoles are ~$500 every 7 years. Are you telling me I can have a gaming pc that plays the latest games for less than $500 every 7 years? I doubt it

It’s not that much to upgrade your graphics card unless you’re buying top of the line parts.

My ps5 is the cd drive one. So new it’s like 500. I’m sure there’s somebody out there in my area who would pony up 375-400 for it. Which is cash I could put towards a PC

they absolutelly are, but i feel like the continuos bloat at the rate they do it nowadays on a ongoing os for like 2 decade would just become too much, like imagine if instead of vista they just kept adding the stuff they need to add to xp again and again like they do fuck up on those jumps (win11) and it is good to be able to just say okay no i am just gonna wait for whenever you guys figure how to do a good one again instead of watching your pc slowly morph into it with no way to stop it
