I mean this console Gen doesn't really have much to incentivize buying a ps5 for is exclusive library. We're halfwayish through this console generation and there's not a ton.

PS5 is downwards compatible with a PS4 at least and if you are into souls like you would get access to Bloodborne, just to name one good example.

Not worth the £500 for backwards compatibility when emulators work as good as the ps4 on a selection of games.

Fair, I got mine for 420 € last year during a Black Friday sale.

Fair, I spent £800 on a new pc just before the pricing surge. Should last 5ish years before performance drops enough to consider upgrades.

What’s crazy is that some PC only gamers might buy The ps5 just to play gta6 1-2 years before it releases on PC. Sony would cook if they can incentivize multiplat publishers to release on consoles first.

This! A new PC with gpu costs three times that of a ps5, and we have to upgrade every few years! I love spending money!!!
