Is there even a reason to own a PS5 anymore?

[Shpongled]

With all of these big titles coming out on PC now, what good exclusives does the PS5 even have left? There's the Demon's Souls remake and...that's it?

[Cantoná]

No.

The advantage of owning a PS5 is that you don't have to wait a year or two to play these games. lol

This isn't a new game. it came out 2 years ago.

That's really not much of an advantage, especially as publishers realise that timed exclusives aren't worthwhile.

60 Million PS5s say different.

- If you into collecting physical discs or collector editions
- If you have kids, because is a cheaper toy (not counting switch or steamdeck, because that is portable)
- If you want to be a peasant instead a king

Can't think other reasons.

I need to buy PS5 pro because Sony do not want to support PSN in my country, but on console it works, on Steam my country restricted. Lol

Depends. I think there is still a valid reason, if you are one that can't wait for a release. Exclusives take about a year to get to PC.

Play them years early.

to me consoles were always a way for people who dont have the deep pockets to play on a top end pc to be able to play top end games. so the reason to own a ps5 (besides those who wanna play wireless from a couch on a big tv) are still the same as they have always been.

[Freely]

Consoles have lost meaning when the cost of a mid-gen upgrade is the cost for a mid-range PC - The reason consoles were popular was due to low cost of entry, and companies taking that initial loss, software sales are the reason consoles were affordable.

Now we barely have software worth purchasing for the hardware. There's no KILLZONE or Resistance, or SOCOM and Twisted Metal. There's no Sly Cooper or Jak & Daxter. No Gravity Rush, no WarHawk, no SIREN. There's no MAG and Syphon Filter, and there's no Days Gone sequel.

Sony just rides HORIZON and Last of Us with nothing else to show for. Why own a PlayStation when there's nothing to buy for it? Better off just building a PC.

The worst crime has been the lack of acknowledgement over Bloodborne.

Its actually always a good thing to wait for game to get all the updates and fancy stuff and balancing. You wait for PC version and you get a prime product ;p

I am probably going to buy PS5 pro at some point but, for now I just dont see the reason ;p There are no PSVR2 games and most of stuff that comes out ends up on PC anyways, plus I still got ps4 ;p I guess Ill buy in a few years time when there is a large enough pile of games my low end laptop wont be able run anymore.

Why did you buy a ps5 when pc's are more beneficial? You can do more with PC and you wont have to pay so much. Upgrade graphic cards every 3-4th year and you are good pretty much

Well I do have a PC, always have had. RTX 4060, i5-13400F. And I've had every PlayStation since PS1, but I don't really play on PlayStation anymore, I see no point, you know?
