This just doesn't make sense to me.

$700. No UHD Blu-Ray drive included. Much improved GPU, but you probably won't notice while playing. No improved controller with better battery life as was rumored.

Meh.

At that price point, you're only going to get folks that were waiting for it and didn't get the PS5, dorks with more money that sense, and scalpers (which plays into the aforementioned dorks).

Gotta say the PS5 has been the most underwhelming console purchase I've ever had. Where are the games? There's fuck all on this thing except enhanced versions of PS4 games and a whole boatload of fucking trash you'd need a deformed brain to enjoy. To top it off the console looks fucking gay as fuck and now this pro version looks even worse. Mate correct the look of the thing, it looks like it could be going down the catwalk at a fashion show it's that fucked looking.

I can't even remember the last time I turned on my Xbox Series X. This generation is not so great.

It's fine, we're just old
If the 5 came out twenty years ago you'd all be fizzing your knickers, it's just now you'd rather rebuy physical ninja gaiden 3 remakes for all eternity etc

Still don't understand buying either a PS5 or Xbox Series X. Not enough exclusives, a vast majority of the games are either remakes or on PC or Switch.

Most people don't have a gaming PC. It's not that complicated.

That said, I didn't buy a PS5 or Xbox Series either. I barely play(ed) my PS4 and I played my Xbox One even less than that. Maybe half a dozen fighting games and the modern Wolfensteins and Dooms.

The weirdest thing of all is Sony and Microsoft buying game studios and letting them continue making games for each other's platforms.

Microsoft bought id and Activision and Bethesda, but who cares because Doom and Elder Scrolls and Wolfenstein and CoD are still on Playstation.
Sony bought Bungie, but who cares because every single game they've made since then has been multiplatform anyway

I skipped the PS4 so when I decided I wanted to buy it made sense (at the time) to just get the PS5 and cover both generations.
In hindsight I could have just bought a PS4 and only be missing Stellar Blade & Astro Bot.

I'll get one years from now when they're cheap-ish and hackable. $700 is pretty silly for a single-purpose device without many games.
