If the PS5 was backwards compatible with physical disks I’d buy one yesterday. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. Aside form stuff like Ratchet and Clank, Octodad, Astrobot, and a few others I don’t really have an incentive to buy a PS5. Most of the first and third party PlayStation games I’m interested in are from the PS2/3 era, and I can just emulate those (I’ve been doing that to play Resistance, the older Ratchet and Clanks, Little Big Planet, and others. It’s been a blast. If Sony were to make collections of their older games for PS5/PC it would print them money). There’s not really an excuse to not have backwards compatibility since hobbyists in their spare time have been able to get emulation working, and even restore online multiplayer for games whose surfers shut down. The current Xbox is backwards compatible with a good chunk of the previous systems’ libraries; and if you pay $20 for dev mode you can use emulators going up to the PS2/Wii. Certain models of the PS3 were backwards compatible with the PS1/2 (I recently bought a modded Vita so I can play PS1, PSP, and Vita games. I used to have a PSP, but stupidly traded it in when I was a dumb kid. The Ape Escape port was so much fun. Such a shame Sony killed Japan Studio).
Yeah I don’t really understand what Sony is doing. With how long development takes, especially with the type of games they make, collections and rereleases would really fill in the spaces between game releases. Closing Japan Studio while simultaneously trying to pump out 12 live service games just tells me whatever creative and passionate people there are left at Playstation are unfortunately not in charge at the moment. When I play Switch, I can tell this is from the same people who made Gamecube and Wii. When I play PS5, it doesn’t even feel like it’s from the same people who gave us PS2 and PS3.
2:19 for being touted as the best selling home console it is really telling that not many of the exclusive sales number get over 20 million sales, TLOU 2 sell 10 million and Gow Ragnarok sell 15 mil, Spiderman 2 11 mil, horizon forbidden west sell 8.4 copy. this console sell over 60 million unit so where is half of the userbase? still on scalper storage? and all of these game are on or coming to pc too like don't get me wrong over 10 million copy is a lot but it still doesn't reach half of the sold ps5. and most of ps5 exclusive cost well over 100 million dollars to make.
I think a lot of that install base is the COD, FIFA, Madden crowd, which is great that they enjoy playing those on PlayStation, but I think PlayStations problem is that they make 2-3 games in a series and then abandon them. It’s hard to get a ton of sales in series that haven’t been established very long. Compare this to Nintendo. Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Mario Party, Mario Sports, all those series are decades old and still get new games. There’s probably people who grew up playing Mario who are playing it with their grandchildren at this point. Sony has God of War and Ratchet and Clank, and that only goes back to PS2. Gran Turismo is the only series I can think of from the PS1 days that still gets new games, and it’s a car game.
@@HydratedGaming you are spot on on the cod fifa and madden crowd, in my city there is a lot of ps 4 and 5 rental cafe, most of the time they are used for group of friend to play Fifa, fun fact: a base ps5 equal to 10% price of a three room house in my city.
If I could say anything it's this... The PS5 is the PS3 all over again but instead of Sony learning there lessons and trying to make the PS5 more accessible by lowering prices or making a lower priced version, and giving it more games, they chose to ignore requests/demand, they chose to kill off there IPs for exclusives that will only last for at least a year, decided to port their games over to PC (which removes exclusivity), and sell a 700 dollar paperweight while raising the prices of the original PS5 consoles. XBox has become enough of a joke that they aren't in direct competition anymore. Nintendo is winning, as a fan of them I feel conflicted about that though since they now officially dictate where the console market is going and it worries me. I wish Sega could step back into the game, at least participating in the console market would be fun again with them around.
I think you’re probably right that the implosion of the Xbox One is to blame for a lot of what we’re seeing. I like Nintendo too, but a world where they’re completely victorious in the console war is a very bad one lol. Like all things in life, most of the issues here can be traced back to the Kinect.
@@HydratedGaming I am planning on doing my own video where I make my own console... But I know I'm not going to sell it by hardware alone, I would need something interesting about it... There is something that most console manufactures have overlooked for a long time and I think it's time to bring it back...
You are a true Sony fan 100% Finally someone how doesn't give Sony a shield from criticism because it's "Xbox's fault." I feel the same way! I feel Sony died with the PS3 all that mainstream attention to appeal more to the west really killed Sony's variety. You guys remember Fat Princess, Starhawk, Twisted Metal, Infamous, we even got a Sly 4.😢 Sony let the Japanese snort coke and make games again!
I hate to break it to you, but Stellar Blade and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart are already on PC, so that leaves you with five games. Even then, Spider Man 2 and Astro Bot are HIGHLY LIKELY to get a PC port. So if these ports get released, you only have 3 (!!!) exclusive games on the PS5. Man, the drout is real! It was a good decision to buy a backwards-compatible PS3 Fat instead! That console has three generations worth of PlayStation games, and in fact, some of the best of PlayStation’s history. Meanwhile, the PS5 has five games, which can reduce down to three pretty quickly. Just think about the value!
Dude you’re so right. I got a ps3 last year, and my goodness I can’t believe I didn’t know how amazing of a library it has. Littlebigplanet, Motorstorm, 3D Dot Game Heroes, I even really like PS Allstars. Not to mention all the PS2 collections on there. Amazing console you can’t go wrong getting a PS3. There’s so much variety that’s just not a thing anymore these days. Hopefully Astro is a step back in that direction.
@@HydratedGaming Mine is the Holy Grail of PlayStation, the CECHA01 model, which has the PS2’s hardware in it. Been playing through the Ratchet & Clank games and Crash Twinsanity on it thanks to full hardware backwards compatibility (Twinsanity has emulation issues on the CECHE01 and CECHC04 models).
Dude nice!! Those PS3 Fats just look so cool too with the Spiderman Font. I am jealous. If you’re playing PS2 platformers I must humbly request you play SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom if you haven’t already.
Damnnn not even TWO games per year??? That's so hilariously sad omg I was wondering if I made the right choice by choosing PC and Yeah, pretty much (´；ω；｀)
It pains me to say this console generation is probably a lost cause at this point, we’re 4 years in and not much has happened, but I’m still hoping they change direction for the future. They just need to make some cheaper medium sized games to go along with their big blockbusters. Astrobot is a good start.
@@HydratedGamingExactly what I was thinking. Instead of blowing 300M on a mediocre and generic game, they could've spent 20M on 15 more expiremental games. Even if some of the 15 dont do great, its way better than the full 300M being wasted. Also they should make a hybrid console, to be honest.
You shouldn't love PlayStation, they clearly don't care about any fan, you see their greed, realize it, I realized it with Nintendo, so can you with Sony

Yup. When you hear about what happened with Concord we could have been on Ape Escape 7 by now.
Sounds like you are part of the problem. Should have just built a PC after Sony killed all of their IPs during the PS4 era
You shouldn't love PlayStation, they clearly don't care about any fan, you see their greed, realize it, I realized it with Nintendo, so can you with Sony
Why? They make good games and consoles. You can like their development team without liking their sales and legal team. Same with nintendo.
