What are the 3 games? Returnal should be on that list, amazing game and uses unique PS5 controller features. If you haven’t played The Last Of Us then I would say that is a must even though that was a PS4 title but is a PS exclusive. Death Loop is an awesome game as well. might be on PC, I dunno since I only game on PS. To me there is a huge jump in graphics quality from PS4 to PS5. It will take time for game devs to…

Deathloop is on XBox Game Pass so definitely not an exclusive...

It was available on PC and “console exclusive” to PS5 for a year I think, but it’s already on Xbox.

God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, and Returnal are the 3 PS5 exclusive games I would immediately want to buy if I had the console (yes I am aware they are mentioned in other comments as well, I legitimately did a google search first and those stood out for me vs the rest). Have used the same gaming laptop for 2 years or so now and works great for my needs, the only incompatibility I ran into was a warning…

Of those 3 games you mentioned, only 1 is exclusive to the PS5. The rest are also available on the 9 year old PS4.

edit: had the wrong amount (the only PS5 game is Returnal)

They’re simply saying that Xbox’s promise to keep Activision software on PlayStation “long-term” is likely only going to last for this console generation, and will end around the time of the PS6. This is their attempt at putting the phrase “long-term” into perspective. This isn’t an announcement or leak on the scale of the GTA 6 leak. Just Sony stating the obvious fact that the PS5 will not be their only console for…

That Microsoft is going to abuse its ownership of Activision is a certainty. They've already proclaimed they will only keep certain franchises on PlayStation for several more years after the merger succeeds. This merger needs to be stopped dead in its tracks. If competition authorities allow this merger they're factually legalizing market abuse.

Sony could also decide, God forbid, to compete in terms of first party games development.

Gotta love how everyone jumps on the regulatory block train.

Playstation 5 is still experiencing shortages even after all this time, you can only really find one if you join a wait list or pay a markup. The game catalog leaves more to be desired as well, I can only find like 3 games right now specifically for PS5 that are not also on PC worth playing, but fine, maybe that's more to do with me specifically. Either way, can we maybe resolve the current shortages before looking f…

These consoles were released in 2020. 2028 is 8 years later, pretty much the usual cycle length.

Sure, it's just surprising that we are already looking forward to 2028 for PS6 when the current PS5 release is still so completely botched and unresolved.

Don’t think is as botched as you think. It’s tracking in sales closely to the PS4, which if you think about it it’s pretty good considering the pandemic + supply chain issues.

System exclusives have never been viewed as anticompetitive, and for the life of me, I can’t figure on why.

Sony is very competitive in terms of first-party games, multiplayer shooters are maybe a special case. For single player story-heavy games Sony studies are probably the largest developers and publisher.

Multiplayer games compete more directly, and you need to get a large enough playerbase to make them attractive. Which puts large, established franchises in a much better position than new and unknown ones.

I stand corrected, which means I have basically absolutely no reason to buy a PS5 right now.

Does anyone find this interesting compared to the smartphone market where Apple and Samsung are pushing out $1k phones _every single year_? You can say it's hard to find a PS5 at MSRP ($499 or $399 if digital) but it's still on a multi year (+5 at least) release cycle. Whereas the current iPhone generation (14) starts at $799 and $999. And next year you get a new one, and the next year another. And prices will increa…

Even if you did buy a new iPhone every year, all of your apps, content, and services immediately port over to the new device. An iPhone doesn't ask you for $60 to run the Facebook app on the latest model.

Besides that you're presupposing someone buys a new iPhone every year and that an iPhone doesn't have any more utility than a game console. Despite the capabilities of modern consoles they're mainly used for games and secondarily for streaming. For a not insignificant number of people their smartphone is their primary computing device. Smartphones are used for more and more often than gaming consoles. I also don't know a single person that buys a new iPhone every year. Even the most well off people I know that are iPhone fans upgrade only every other year.

Sony has had a weird history around backwards compatibility, Microsoft didn't really bother until the latest generation of their consoles, and Nintendo is pretty much allergic to the idea. Not only do consoles not do as much for people as smartphones but they require an investment in new games when you do upgrade.
