Well the older I get the more i slowly devolve into the same old games, Minecraft, Vintage Story, and Slay the Spire. Maybe some other games every so often, like last year was lots of Elden Ring. Hopefully this year will be Starfield but we’ll see how that goes.
I was also considering ps5, but with Sony doing a delayed PC launches there really aren’t that many exclusives to draw me in, since most of them end up on the PC. The only one I really want to play is Bloodborne, but I’m not buying a Playstation for that. I’ll just wait until they remaster it and port it to PC.
And it’s not like I don’t have an ever increasing backlog of games to play. I was fine without PS games and I’ll be fine with getting them on discount.
Honestly, this is our experience too. My kids play on their computers and the Xbox probably 90% of the time. The PS5 getting very minimal use. The switch at least has the virtue of being portable, and thus gets hauled around.
It’s confusing to me because there are next to no games on the Xbox that aren’t on PC, but PlayStation has a boat load of exclusives.
I primarily game on PC, so my Xbox One collected dust after I got bored with Halo 5 while my PS4 saw plenty of use from 2013 all the way through 2020. This gen I skipped Xbox entirely and just got a PS5.
I’m surprised you consider ps5 exclusives not that compelling. What types of games do you normally play?
