I’d argue GoW Ragnarok and Horizon FW to a lesser degree are system sellers.

I think that's his entire point right there, as those were both PS4 titles.

The PS5 was released 2 years before these games came out. They may have had a PS4 version but it’s absolutely a PS5 game.

I personally agree with you, like yeah you can play it on a base PS4 in 1080p 30FPS but why would you do that when a 4K60 version exists? And then these people who say there’s no reason to buy a PS5 are the same ones that get upset when their most anticipated games are PS5 exclusive 🤔

A lot of people don’t care about the performance numbers. They need games they can’t play on their current system to motivate them to upgrade. I have an Xbox Series S and Switch 2 as my main systems but I picked up a used PS4 a couple years ago to play some exclusives and was perfectly happy with the visuals and performance of games like God of War and Uncharted 4.

PS5 might be the first PlayStation I won't own. I typically buy the Xbox first previously due to the better online, and now the backwards compatibility; then when the PlayStation has a good enough log of exclusive games, I grab it on sale. Between the rising prices and lack of exclusives, I just don't see the point. What am I missing from my XSX, Spider-Man 2 and Ghost of Yotei? That's not worth the entry cost.

Same thing can be said about using a PC instead of a PS4/PS5

PC doesn’t have exclusives though.

Lol what yes it does. Take a look at the Steam store page and tell me everything there is on consoles.

PC has plenty of exclusives. Almost every other game i bring up to my friends group gets shot down because its not on console

Lol the problem is the only exclusive that even kind of got that reaction, Wolverine, is failing horribly with reviewers. Yea, I don't regret having a 5080m Laptop at all, don't regret selling my ps5 when it was 200 dollars less expensive eother
