$700, and the side by sides look barely different, from my perspective. The chat seemed to have the same opinion.

Not worth it. The PS5 games catalogue is piss poor compared to when the PS4 Pro released.

Frankly that's just thinking with only PS5 exclusives in mind.

A lot of people, probably the vast majority, don't get an Xbox or PlayStation for the exclusives. They just get one because they don't own or want a gaming PC and look for the easier more accessible solution.

So to them the catalogue is just fine because they don't get the console just for the exclusives.

Not sure what the point of downvoting me is, but I'd rather be interested to hear people's counter-arguments instead. Because a lot of people seem to just assume that many console-owners have both a console and gaming PC.

I dunno I haven't really been excited for any of the games released over the last couple years. It seems like nothing but legacy games like COD/Battlefield/Destiny and a few gems like Elden Ring. Most of these big studios seem to be laying off employees or shutting down instead of releasing new games. Part of this is just me being burnt out on gaming, but with so many studios struggling, it seems like it's more than just me feeling like this.

Thing is that isn't true for everyone, I am done with games like CoD and FIFA, but a huge majority of players is not. Hence why these games keep selling just fine.
