I used to say PC + Nintendo, but Switch 2 looks like enshittification caught up with Nintendo.
So just PC now.
Steam Deck ftw
I can play my steam games I bought over a decade ago on any hardware. Its awesome. I just got hadies 2 as well and it works flawlessly on the SD.
And that's just steam. I just don't see buying an Xbox/PSehatever/switch5000. Most games come out for everything now. Who cares?
I still have stuff as far back as DOS and Win9x titles on my shelves. Sure I have to use virtual machines and emulators these days since I'm not willing to buy or hold onto old hardware but I'm still able to do this on modern PC which is the main point: freedom.
I only care about exclusives anymore which is an artificial value yep.
There are some exceptions like PS2 was my DVD movje player and PS3 was Bluray movie player and what I used Universal Media Server with back then streaming from my PC. Not just the games, but there were games too. Plus weird stuff on PSN like Trash Panic or Tokyo Jungle.
Also I refuse to pay for online play and I stuck to it.

At the very least, the console cycles are a good indicator of when it makes sense to build a new PC.
the ps5 just came out, what do you mean
Right? It only has 3 games and they're already talking about a new one? They should give it a few years at least before giving up.
Are we over the chip shortage, what year is it!
But why? They are barely supporting the current hardware.
investors want new product. lack of new product is 'stagnation'.

It seems soon because it feels like barely anything came out in terms of exclusives for the PS5. Naughty Dog didn't even come out with anything that wasn't a remake.
Sony spent this entire generation making live service games are were DOA or failed after years of development.
People generally buy Sony consoles for their single player exclusives. It seems like that is not a factor to consider for their next console.
I’m not interested in PS6. I’m more interested in building a Steambox to avoid Windows 11.
Same I when it comes to my next upgrade I want to go AMD GPU next time around for the best Linux support.

The best situation for consumers is for games to come out on as many platforms as possible. Exclusives are cancer. It's awesome to see less and less of them every generation.
Well for me Sony exclusive means Sony produced games, and they've just not released in that department. I'm PC now so its not exclusive for me anyways, but it does matter for console players choosing between Sony or Xbox. And Sony has really under delivered this gen with games from them.
Didn't Microsoft buy up a shitton of studios- killing some of them? I wouldn't consider exclusives a good indicator of health necessarily.
That's been the only selling point of consoles for me. They mostly all come out on the PC now so more an observation of how Sony's releases this gen has been really lackluster compared to previous gens.

Even if I was in the market the way they manufacturer & sell them you won't get one for list price for the first year or two
slaps a sale sticker on his PS5
"was I a good paperweight?"
no
What even happened in this generation? There was nothing that separated it lmao. Realistically the only thing the next gen can add over this is full ray tracing from ground up, even something like frame gen would be proper embarrassing because a console is supposed to have all graphics baked in.
If MS goes Windows on Xbox then that might genuinely be the way forward atp
Too early. It doesn’t even feel like the current generation has really established. Just got the PS5 Pro, and don’t think it’s such a big improvement over the base model. PS6? - na thanks!
Not that the PS5 was a major upgrade to the PS4. Sure it can produce some better graphics, but the UI is such a downgrade.
I'll never understand why they made an option to silence the beep at startup, but they push the boot up and login music through the TV when headphones are connected to a controller. That's so much more annoying and last so much longer when you're trying not to disturb other people in the room.

Big mistake. They barely have games for the current gen.
Better bet your ass that Copilot will be on whatever M$ decides to push out.
Man, I was soooo excited about the PS5, but then it turned into such a shit show to get one that I just put my money into my PC and I never even got around to picking one up when availability became more reasonable. I don't think I'd ever really want to get back into the console gaming space anymore.

Already? Before even the 5th game launched?
I have no interest with the way the industry's going. Not to mention it will probably cost $700 or more.
I think I've turned my PS5 on maybe 30 times since I got it. They just hasn't been anything released for it that I've been interested in basically it's not been anything released for it.
I bought a 3070 and a pair of 1440 gaming monitors, maybe $1000 total, and I feel like an asshole not having time to play my favorite games.

And then not release a single game built for or exclusive to it until 2035. Hard pass.
Too soon. I still haven’t got a PS5 yet.
It will just be a PS5 with a sticker on it and $500 more.
/s
They should release consoles when there's a significant leap in hardware that devs are waiting to take advantage of. The last few console releases have been boring. Don't get me started on not only the lack of games but the lack of new types of games. Too many remakes and remasters demanding high prices.

I only got a ps5 two years ago and I'm set with games for years. I'm still working through PS4 games I never got round to. The idea of a new playstation at this point, particularly after the chip shortage debacle, seems absolutely absurd.
sometimes it feels like the world is kinda moving off consoles for being too restrictive. and I wonder if there will be a future where these two companies just keep making consoles to fight each other while not selling any.
just two giant, hot black chunks of plastic locked in an eternal battle of corporate obliviousness for all eternity.
edit: this comment was meant as a funny and not a serious.

At this point I‘m going to assume they‘ll both essentially be handheld PCs. It‘s the only device I could even imagine a market for in 2 years.
I wonder how much they’re paying Rockstar to delay The Only New Release of that generation; which will doubtless be available on PS5/XSX anyway.
i feel like barely any good games came out on it utilizing its hardware to its potential?

Good luck with the tarriffs...
The last time a console generation lined up with a giant economic crisis we got the Kinect and PlayStation Move instead and a proper console release was delayed until 2013.
I could see this being pushed to 2030, easy, if it happens at all.
They can see the writing on the wall and know their largest market won't have the spending power it has now, so make hay while the sun shines.
