Also noteworthy that not only are PS5 sales behind PS4, but the PlayStation’s competition has almost entirely disappeared, and that hasn’t resulted in more PlayStations sold.

This generation lacked must play games or technological breakthroughs. It was just kinda… there?
System based exclusives meaning you might not be able to play a game you want to in the future, expensive subscriptiona needed to play online, push to digital DRM controlled games… it’s almost like consoles killed themselves?
I haven’t payed to play online in years. Like mid PS4 life. Online only games don’t require a subscription.
Switch ate them all while being 2 generations behind
After Nintendo saw how much the Wii succeeded while effectively being a gamecube with motion controls and a DVD drive vs. two “top tier titans”, they never bothered again with being at the forefront of tech, which possibly felt like a homecoming, considering the Famicom was kinda underpowered at release, but cheap to produce.

Man, imagine if the PS6 launches and it’s just PS4 & 5 ports and “”“upgrades”“” all over again
What, the dumbass case design with the useless flat corner bits awkwardly sticking out of it wasn’t innovative enough for you?
Oh, if you’re a fighting game player, the innovation is impossible to miss. Now there’s only one USB port on the front, so when you play at locals and majors, you have to spin the console around to blow all the heat directly at the people trying to play a competitive match so that their controller cords will reach the additional USBs in back. Also it gets hot enough to melt the connectors that you’re plugging in there. Also we all had to update our controllers specifically for PS5 even though our PS4 controllers still functioned just fine. So innovative.
This is going to piss off some people, but I knew this generation was in trouble when HellDivers became big.
That game isn’t hot garbage, per se, but the fact that it got the success it did is a pretty damning indictment of the state of multiplayer shooters.
