Less than a week to launch
I'd say this gen is more hyped than ps4/one.
Nowhere near enough of a leap from the previous generation.
Other than looking ever so slightly better, there is literally no reason to upgrade.
Why do you think so many games, cyberpunk for example, are trying to launch on the previous gen too. Imagine Xbox 360 coming out and tonnes of devs saying "nah, we'd rather keep developing on xbox original".
Maybe they could make a video game related event earlier in the year to showcase upcoming games to create hype or something.
A better question would be "what went right?"
pfft, go home gradpa, physical interaction hasn't been a thing for years now.
I swear to god death stranding had less restrictions than this fucking seasonal flu
There's this thing going on that kind of has everyone's attention and will continue to do so for the rest of the year.
>What went wrong?
Not enough consoles are launch and everyone knows that. And since its not artificial scarcity, alot of people have just given up on getting one this year or most of next year. Also if you have a Ps4 or Xbox already why bother?
No games to hype about
In retrospect having your console release a week after what was obviously going to be the most controversial election in 20 years was probably a bad idea.
We're all busy worrying about an election and possible civil war to care about your bing bang wahoo machines.
not a huge technological leap
no worthwhile launch titles
no stock to be found outside of those who preordered the limited stock there was
Uh... Demon's Souls, Miles Morales, Sackboy, Destruction All Stars, Bugsnax, Godfall, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and plenty more, sweaty.
Worthless.
>no huge tech leap
Well that’s not true, but the question is does it even matter anymore when the best games are pixelshit or relative equivalents
it is true retard. nothing on the next gen consoles hasn't already existed on pc for years and years.
I just bought a ps4 and I already own a PC so I mean there's no reason to be hype. I'm getting a XsX during the holiday season only for backwards compatibility and then I might get a ps5 if I'm bored
Just take out the Pis5 shit.
Where are the fuckin' games? I'm a PS4fag and even I can see there ain't shit available for the 5 at launch.
>Demon's Souls
I played the ever loving SHIT out of that game years ago. Where's the next-gen games?
How are SSD's and ray tracing a big technological leap? They've existed for years.
no games worth buying a new system for
doesn't seem like a big next-gen jump
don't care still bought SeX
>Where's the next-gen games
>another decade of remasters people eat up for nostalgia
I can see it happening now. There's no fucking games and no reason to upgrade. All of the new IPs are delayed until next year and the biggest release of the year is 2077 and that's going to be trash but normalfags will eat it up.
no games
also not enough supply so whatever
real launch for 95%+ of us will happen individually, months from now.
Is that supposed to be compelling?
The only people buying next gen right now are just hype beast who want to be first. I guarantee their consoles will brick anyway.
The only game that's interesting there is godfall and it's a gearbox title that's being held on the ps5 until may. Couldn't care less about anything else.
How can there be 0 (zero) games, I don't understand. Even PS4/Xbone wasn't that bad.
wow this launch is gonna be boring..
Dun dun dun dun duuuun...
It starts with.
ONE GAME!
Based walmart already sent mine out to me today.
covid
>no games
>ugly consoles
>games so far don't even look that much better outside of the bump in resolution
I don't blame them. I couldn't care less about trying to get one of these things. Doesn't help that the SSDs they're using for them are really expensive and relatively small considering how game sizes are going up exponentially.
stop sweating
I DON'T KNOW WHY
bait
who gives a fuck about bugsnax, ass creed or sackboy
While im not excited for miles i can understand the interest, same can be said about destruction
demon souls and playing through my ps4 backlog are the only reasons i would currently consider a ps5 and i already played og demon souls
>breaking street date
enjoy your lawsuit walmart
>walmart is sending out early consoles
for what reason? Won't they be sued for that?
What about Nigger Super Spider or the remake of this popular PS3 game, you know, the one with an empty world where you wear an armor. It's looking fun.
>zero hype
A.) I literally can't buy one despite having the money
B.) All the good games this fall are on PC
Im hyped for starfield and God of war 2 and ff16 and dragons dogma 2 and the next respawn star wars game...but none of them are coming anytime soon so whatever. I'll play asscreed and cyberpozzed at 1080p and next year I'll buy whatever console or gpu seems like the best choice.
>ps3, niggerman, lmao, coomers, LMAO, trash, also on xbox, and nothing else OH NO NO NO
>And since its not artificial scarcity
Its literally never artificial scarcity outside the Mario All-Stars game that is being pulled from the eshop next year for no apparent reason.
Literally no games. Every game company is full of pozzed retards that makes garbage. Who fucking cares? I only care about weeb shit and turbo-autist indie games anymore.
AAA gaming has lost me.
gamestop received theirs yesterday, the fuckers refused to give it to me even though I already paid, sucks having to wait till 10
I BOUGHT A NEXT GEN CONSOLE WITH NO GAMES TO BUY!
I want both, but will wait and upgrade PC this next year most likely.
Honestly I'm still playing and enjoying games on my xbone x, and some on ps4, still have a backlog, so why buy something that just plays them a bit better? Only exclusive I want is DS, and I can wait.
I can't imagine Microsoft entering a major lawsuit with the biggest retail chain in the world. They could probably win but its not worth damaging their relationship with a company that sells a lot of their products. Also its pretty much nothing but good press, anyone who gets their console early is going to be pretty happy and probably have nice things to say.
Oh and walmart breaks street dates on the regular like their your mothers hymen at age 14 and nothings ever happened.
...
>a bit better
Its damb near twice as good on both consoles but I also agree its not worth it if you have even a budget pc, since 90% of the value right now is being able to play at 60fps.
It sucks but it's their contract. Only 4 more days xbro... We're going home
Can't wait to get my ps5 sonybros
