Bro if that shit failed to perform then it's on them for failing to manufacture enough. The demand was there. And it out performed the Xbox whateverthefucknow.

Bitch, you couldn't get one for a year cause of how quickly they were flying off the shelves. The fuck you mean it didn't sell well?

Technically PC is a failed platform as it failed to meet my 2 quadrillion sales to date. It will never get a PC2.

Does the ps5 even have games yet?

I would‘ve got one but after Sony fucked their own IP and me having to deal with their customer „support“ I‘m sticking to PC.

They are still releasing games for PS4... it will be fine.

My wife and I just bought ours last November. We aren't getting anything else anytime soon, so good luck on selling more of the next gen.

I'm not the target demographic obviously but I used to have a PS2 and I was loosely following news, thinking of getting a PS5 during Covid but couldn't find one. Then I just stopped thinking about it until right now.

I bet there were a lot of people like me. Sales could have been much higher.

I just want ONE GAME, I DON'T KNOW WHY

Is this like "PS5 isn't doing well, you should say your goodbyes while you can", or "latter comes after earlier" and can mean anything?

Still lasted longer than the vita

“Latter stage of its life cycle” basically means anything past the halfway point, and it’s already been out for like 4 years.

Considering how long it has taken for PS4 games to stop being published and for PS5 games to really get going, it’ll be a relevant console for several more years at least.

It’s not like it falls apart the second the PS6 is announced. I don’t like the thought of an accelerated console lifecycle either but this is such a vague statement a LOT of these reactions seems a little extreme for now.

I'm over here still playing on my PS3.

Meanwhile the PS4 hasn't even reached the former stage of it's life cycle.

C-suite should have chatted with their own people in manufacturing, I reckon

Loving my PS4 Pro 😙👌

Maybe if you actually stocked the fucking console in a store, people might have bought one

I bought a PS5 so I could play PS4 games without having a jet engine in my living room and it's absolutely fantastic for that. Also Demon's Souls was very pretty and faithful to the original, very fun to get the platinum. Returnal was ok too.

All about money. Instead of making good, solid, real games that don't take up 999 wtfabytes in textures and other graphical bling with other gimmicky crap even further bloating it, we get style over substance crap that gives these rich-ass console makers more and more excuses to crank out yet another iteration of their "NEW! 0.00001% BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS GENERATION!" dead-ass consoles that should have died long ago when PC gaming took over -- not because PC graphics are better, but because PCs can do more and do EVERYTHING better.

Gaming is in a sad state right now and people don't even realize it. I honestly think if people would force themselves to see what old (80s and very early 90s) gaming offers and understand the difference in good games and style over substance trash, they'd understand how much of a clusterfuck modern gaming is. Sure, there's a small handful of good titles floating around these days, but nowhere near the amount and quality of gaming in, say, the NES days where there are more high quality games on that single console than there has been on every console in the last 15 or so years.

And I know modern gamers are going to cry about this post. Too bad. Has to be said.

What said it all really was that Shaun Layden, literally a day 1 PlayStation employee who climbed up to head of Worldwide Studios fuckin dipped before the PS5 and ever since, he's been warning about the absurd costs of AAA development.
