It really doesn’t though. The library stacked against PS4’s doesn’t even compare unless you want to count cross platform and even then PS4 still smokes it. The fact that Helldivers 2 is one of the only breakout successes they’ve had (and it didn’t even come from one of their internal studios) says everything. And of course they let it go cross platform too so that edge is gone now. All their best studios were tied up with live service games that have all been canceled. They wasted 5+ years and probably billions if we include the missed out sales. The PS4 was heavily driven by their close partner/internal teams and continue to carry a significant portion of the PS5’s playerbase.
If you don’t need Final Fantasy or to (re)play improved PS4 games, the PS5 is an expensive paperweight and you may as well just grab a series S or something for half the price, half the shelf space, and play 90% of the same games.
Let me ask you this: should we really be taking this console seriously if they’re about to go an entire cycle without naughty dog releasing a game?
I disagree, it has plenty of great 1st party exclusives and even 3rd party.
And I own every console.
What are the exclusives?
We don’t need to flex about owning every console. I own basically every one as well except PS5. I kept waiting and waiting for a good sale and a good library just like PS4. The wait has not rewarded me lol
It’s not a flex at all, just for reference.
I get every console at launch, so I went from PS4 to Pro to PS5 to Pro.
At launch I really enjoyed Demon’s Souls, which I never played in PS3, fantastic game. Then came out Returnal probably my favorite 1st party game so far, really looking forward to its sequel Saros next year.
I also played Ragnarok, GT7 (with PSVR2 is fantastic), Horizon 2, and yes, all these came out also for PS4 but are undoubtedly better on the PS5. I’d just get a PS5 just because of the fast loading, it’s awesome.
There’s also Spider-Man 2, Ratchet, Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, and I’ll probably leaving others but there’s plenty of great 1st party exclusives. There’s also a bunch of great 3rd party exclusives as well.
I don’t game on PC though, used to when I was younger but I prefer to play on consoles now and use the computers for work and other things.
