I guess it's the standard console cycle, probably with a refresh in the middle, around 2024?

Oh, how is PS5 performance compared to 2022 midrange gaming PCs?

I remember some sort of benchmarks and for 2020 I think it was very competitive.

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 forward to the next one?

> “Even assuming that SIE had the ability and resources to develop a similarly successful franchise to Call of Duty, it would take many, many years and billions of dollars to create a challenger to Call of Duty – and the example of EA’s Battlefield shows that any such efforts would more than likely be unsuccessful."

Ouch that has to burn

This is a leak from court documents that indicates that the PS6 will probably be released in 5 years at the soonest. So there is still a lot of time.

And I don't think the PS5 is that hard to get by now, though of course this will vary by region.

Most games are still cross-generation, but that is always the case. And they do look better on the PS5, though obviously they can't really take full advantage of the new capabilities, especially the much faster storage. But e.g. Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok still look very, very good on the PS5 and are not available on PC, even though they are cross-gen.

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 the rest of time.

I just double checked online, which is why I mentioned that, without typing in my zip code. Best Buy: sold out, Amazon: available by invitation, eBay: selling at $700 vs $500 anywhere else. So like I said, either sold out or at a markup that is not currently worth it.

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 get games out that use better graphics, etc. and the PS6 is likely a half decade away or longer, these things never are early.

I used to game on PC but got sick of upgrades costing more than a console, having to tweak settings, deal with Windows, etc. when I just want to jump into a game.

I got mine over a year ago by following a bot that tweeted when it was in stock at a few large retailers. Didn't take that long, and I also didn't have to be extremely fast (e.g. using a bot that automatically buys). I assume it is better now, and from what I've heard it might be more available in retail stores and not online, where the scalpers tend to buy out the stock. Though I hope we're close to the point where it doesn't really pay off for the scalpers anymore.
