Sony's problems are twofold:

  • They are charging an absurd amount of money for a game console
  • They are selling a game console that has practically no first party games for it.

If they had plenty of the latter, they could weather this. But there are still games releasing for the PS4, and they have had 1, maybe 2 PS5 releases that would qualify as first party this year (that don't bubble down to PC).

Jesus christ, Nintendo is gonna win it all aren't they?

Is it better to buy a ps4?

PS4 is superior in every way but power. Small, cheap and high availability, huge game library. PS4 will stay relevant this entire. gen

Or a PS5. The comparisons between PS5 and PS5 Pro are nearly impossible to notice.
