Game consoles usually become cheaper in the years following their launch. Not so the PlayStation 5, which was launched in November 2020 for $399, but five and a half years later costs $599. This obviously has a drastic effect on sales.
If you’re trying to sell a game console, what can that console offer except exclusives? It’s more a comment at how bad at business these giant cororations are than a complaint.
Less so in favor of exclusives and moreso baffled by how barren the PS5 is for them since it’s such a major driver of console sells. Especially given how many indie and AA studios would probably be willing to give Sony exclusive rights if they chucked the budget of failed projects like hero shooter whatsyamacallit with the botch retro scifi aesthetic.
Well it has what, 6 exclusive games?
I wanted to make a joke about foamstars, but it’s also available for the ps4.
Instead, here’s the wikipedia article with all 23 present and future ps5 exclusive games.
23 fucking games. I’m pretty sure the PS1, 2, 3, AND 4 had that many within a year of their releases. The fuck are you doing sony?
Wait when did people start demanding exclusives instead of complaining about them

Yeah they are so weird about supporting their stuff. Speaking as a former PS VR owner…
And don’t get me started about the very few games that really take advantage of the PS5 hardware.
You can use it on PC! :D
