sony this is my decree: indefinitely delay the PS6 if you know what's good for you. everyone's getting priced out of that shit anyway, you know the absolute insane PR you would get if you pivoted to "let's make good games for the consoles people already have"

I think me, and a lot of other people, would just pivot to getting a decent gaming PC if Sony in their current state tried to sell us another $500+ gaming console right now

Sucker punch has put out a single game this generation. Naughty Dog has 0 ps5 games, cause ik not counting the last of us remake. That's dire for 6 years into a console gen

in terms of like raw graphics processing yeah sure whatever there are still plenty of PS4-era games that hold up beautifully but imo the widespread adoption of SSDs is almost worth the existence of the PS5 generation on its own

PlayStation will continue going down and down and down and down until eventually they have bare minimum of a fan base left it seems tht way stocks are skyrocketing too the bottom of the ocean

Corporations understand only one language, 💵. Dry the 💵 well(customers), they listen. Otherwise, we’re all shouting in a void. Personally, I’ll keep shouting/protesting…we’ll see. It’ll be a monumental task to get everyone on the same 📄.

^ thing that will never happen unless everyone on earth gets really cool about a lot of stuff really quickly but it's at least fun to shout and stomp my feet

I mean they can't wait to delay it for long because at some point if it didn't lay a long enough they have to go into Redevelopment of the whole console anyway, so that original RnD money to dev out a ps6 would be flushed

The most annoying thing about it is that theyre gonna price everyone out if it, make it shit, and then blame us for not buying it and making their shit worse either because they genuinely dont know and refuse to listen, or because they want to push harder on "you dont own anything you pay for".

I genuinely don't understand what the plan is for Sony going forward. The last estimate to build a PS6 was roughly 1000 dollars and they ain't selling that shit at a loss ever. What games could they possibly release that'll make the masses pay a 1500+ entry fee?

no exactly, what is the killer feature of the PS6 even gonna be? we already have 4k60, maybe the new dualsense has smellovision.

My only hope is that they did crossgen with the PS4 for a while, and there is most likely going to be even less materially preventing PS5 and PS6 games from being crossgen. The most dated feeling thing about the PS5 nowadays is its lack of support for a great upscaler.

Not to mention that if the PS6 is like $1000, and the cost of production never goes down or even keeps going up, I don't see that thing outselling the PS5 even if they magically kick it into high gear and release a pretty good exclusive like every month or two the way that Nintendo does.

I think console producers in general should just come to terms with the fact this technology has plateaud now. Nowadays, getting a better machine just means throwing out more money for extra luxuries.

Unless they roll back the "no disc" thing I'm pretty much done with non-Nintendo consoles at this point tbh. Especially since playstation exclusives basically aren't a thing anymore, I'll just keep riding my 3070 until the fans blow out

even if i disagree with the majority i feel sony has just killed a lot of goodwill with the general Gamer Hivemind that they kinda have to pump out Good Things until people forget they're killing discs

I tested it for shits and giggles and the word ps6 actually sounds like psx, makes it even more complicated for anybody that knows about the japan exclusive psx or calls the playstation 1 psx

Been saying this for months. Don’t make consoles that you won’t be able to sell for 2% extra pixels and worse games made by developers less practiced with it. But nope they feel the need to catchup in the foot-shooting race Xbox has been having all on their own.

There's no reason for a PS6. We haven't even reached peak capabilities on the PS5. I don't even think we hit it on the PS4. We need another decade on the PS5 bare minimum. It only has like 30 exclusive games.
