All of these are available on PC and/or Xbox. Several are PS4. Not a single one is exclusive.
I understand these things don’t bother you but you can’t say it has plenty of exclusives when it literally does not. You just aren’t bothered by that fact and that is fine. But it makes me question what I would be buying when I have more affordable ways of playing all of these games since again, they have virtually no exclusives and their best studios have dropped little to nothing due to their failed gamble with live service.
The PS3/PS4 had several single player titles that you could only play on PlayStation and were made specifically for them. They weren’t resting on the laurels of previous releases and just giving them a new coat of paint. They had bigger, better, more exclusive libraries. The PS4 in particular had clear value. No one had to argue for it. The library is considered one of the best.
I am a big proponent of consoles believe it or not but frankly the PS5 is a head scratcher for me at the end of the day. Especially for the (now increased) price.

That's not correct. God of war Ragnarok an Ghost of Yotei are not on PC / XBox. But they will probably eventually make it to PC.
Why do you think that releasing games on the PC (a year or two after the PlayStation release) is a bad thing? It means you don't need to buy a PlayStation to play their first-party titles, assuming you're a patient gamer. It also means Sony makes more money from the bigger PC market. Win-win
Ragnarok is definitely on PC. I saw it on Steam again like a week ago.
You’re correct about Yotei, so yes 1 (likely timed) exclusive 5 years in. I think my overall point clearly still stands.
Majority of those games came out 1st on PS, they are releasing some of them later on PC and that’s fine.
Like I said, since I don’t want to play on PC the best option for me it’s to play them on the latest PS hardware, that a game also comes out elsewhere doesn’t detriment my experience.
Again it’s not about your preference. My initial comment was “they don’t have exclusives,” which you contested, then shifted to “well it doesn’t bother me.”
I’m not debating preference. I’m saying they don’t have a robust library for the PS5 compared to previous hardware and they lack exclusives, yet here they are hyping the PS6. If you are happy with your PS5 then great! Many people are. But the library is thinner and depends on old titles. That is just reality.
Why should I expect the library to be better next iteration when they’ve farted their way through the last 5+ years and seem to have no interest doing otherwise?
