PS3 vs PS4 exclusives
Is it just me, were there a a hell of a lot more exclusives for PS2 and PS3 compared to PS4? Pretty much any game you could want on PS4 is available on some other platform.

I mean, FF7 remake and Horizon Zero Dawn been on PC for a while, Spiderman coming to PC maybe Ghost of Tsushima at some point. I think Sony is dropping the ball on exclusives, they should have kept Japan Studios going.

Nintendo seems to have the edge with exclusives compared to PS and Xbox these days so really if seeking the widest library of games probably best to get PC and Switch. Not gonna sell my PS4 but if I'm faced with a choice of PS5 or PC upgrade I'd have to choose the latter, even choosing PS5 for physical games seems irrelevant now.

EDIT: So it just turns out that Ghost of Tsushima has been confirmed to be coming to PC. Really not much left as far as PS exclusives go then.

PS3 has no games. PS4 has no games. I'm not even sure if the PS5 exists, I've not met a single person who has one.

Seriously, I'm surrounded by console gamers and for them it's all Xbox One or Nintendo Switch.

I felt like the opposite, I felt like there was more exclusives for the PS2/PSX than the PS3. PS4 also has a pretty sizable handful. I'm not even sure if its worth getting a PS5 because the "exclusives" there are getting a PC port.

Nah Wii is because it has GC hardware anyway and can do so much more. It's my Nintendo time machine going back to Famicom and beyond, love that thing!!

That's because the big companies have downscaled on the number of releases they have. (Or at least some of them do.)

Look at it this way: between the two of them, Bethesda and Rockstar released a grand total of 4 major titles throughout the PS4's lifespan.
  • GTA V (2013)
  • Fallout 4 (2015)
  • Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018)
  • Fallout 76 (2018)
That's it. That's their catalog of heavy-hitting titles for seven years.

Yes I think original PS and PS2 had more exclusives than 3 and 4, however PS1 seemed like it had more but they were actually released for PC, eg FF7, G-Police and Psygnosis games like Destruction Derby, Wipeout. Yeah interesting that it appears Sony have finally ceased making PS4s yet no PS5s to be seen on store shelves, trying to find a compelling reason to get one but I really can logically conclude it's worth it, but maybe the new VR and upcoming exclusives might twist my arm.

I wish PS5 had Vita remote play might sound odd might this would help me decide in favour of getting it, if PS4 and PS5 games playable on Vita. Haptic feedback controls seem neat but I'll need more than this to persuade me.

Xbox has 0 exclusives. They made gears forza and halo over and over from like 2007. You can play all their games on PC

You can play all games on PC to begin with though - with few exceptions - when you factor in the power of emulation. Hence why to me consoles are completely pointless.

That's a good point. I wonder if the Adobe cloud subscription based model will be used for AAA games like this, where you get the game and keep paying the subscription to keep playing and getting updates. Pretty aweful if this is the future!

There's a saying:

"In the gaming world, the Playstation 4 is deemed trash... but be that as it may... The PS5 is easily even worse than trash."

Fair enough, I can understand that. Seems like a lot of people prefer N64 to GameCube, but I prefer GC. I've never been too attached to N64 so don't mind playing the VC versions of these games only really interested in Zelda and Mario 64, always had a soft spot for GC but N64 didn't really do it for me.
