XSX vs PS5

Microsoft solved Nintendo's problem that the Switch 2 is expensive by raising their own prices. 

The Series S in particular is incredibly poor value now.

WORST GENERATION OF ALL TIME



PS6/series 2 are gonna be so expensive

Bold prediction there Cotton

So, the PS5 I bought is basically a Rocket League/Fortnite box for my kids and a PS4 Pro Pro for me. 

At some point I need to resub to PS+ to play Helldivers 2, but I kind of just don't care. 

Everything is live service, expansion passes and PlayStation angry dad slop™ and I genuinely feel that this will be my last PlayStation console ever. 

I'll be going PC and Nintendo from here on out.

I'm finding that many of the games I'm playing on PS5 are PS4 games I didn't get around to, or didn't finish. I don't see myself buying a PS6 (or a Switch 2 for that matter). 

I'm currently mid-upgrade on my PC, but plan to keep updating it like the Ship of Theseus until I can't do it any longer.

That’s what my PS5 was and I can’t say I regret it. Late 2020 to 2022, there was lots of free time to play it. Got a lot of use out of it. But I think Astrobot is the only “PS5” game I cared for and not enough to buy a console for.

I’ll get a Switch 2 at some point. I’ll build a desktop in Japan if my laptop ever feels lacking. But for my purposes, I cannot picture a future where I get another Sony or Microsoft console. I don’t think I’ve ever used much less seen the Xbox 4. Nor the PS5 Pro that exists for some reason.

GTA6 delayed too lmao. So price hikes just in time for the people buying for GTA.

6 years into the generation for GTA 6

What is even the point of this gen?

It's been pretty fucking embarrassing.

Elder Scrolls 6 (Skyrim 2) was announced in 2018 and there’s a strong possibility it won’t release until 2027. Maybe it’s not the worst thing if they can learn from Starfield’s failings.
