This console generation seems skippable (lemm.ee)

I've never skipped a console gen starting from Super NES, PS1 through 4 plus the Switch Oled 5 years after launch of the OG Switch

It seems like exclusives are rarer now with Sony and Xbox pushing games to PC and Nintendo spending resources on remasters. COVID made it incredibly difficult to own a PS5 and they have some disappointing exclusives as well

What do you think? Any reason to own a PS5 or PS5 pro?

The size of this current console gen is strange TBH. Consoles have always been smaller and more compact than a full fledged Desktop PC.

I was taking my brand new PS4 on work trips and playing games all the time. No way that’s happening with the size of the PS5.

Consoles aren’t supposed to be portable I understand that BUT it’s definitely a consideration for a subset of customers that are on the go.

I prolly won’t get a PS5 unless I’m burning cash when GTA6 comes out.
