I agree that it's too early to write off the PS5 just yet, but I disagree with the latter. The gen starts when the system launches regardless of cross gen releases. It's always been up to the platform creators to make the hardware worth owning and Sony has essentially failed to do so. If that was by design due to Covid, who's to say, but the PS5 as it has been since it launched two years ago is essentially not a generational leap at all with a majority of the software also available on PS4. It essentially made the PS5 a PS4 Pro Pro.@Telekill It is too early to write the ps5 generation off. It has not even started yet and won't start until 2023 or even 24 when the ps4 will be finally declared absolute.
I think the real reason is different. The current gen (PS5, Xbox Series) is the first one when both Microsoft and Sony consoles are fully 100% backwards compatible with the last one. Not to mention that it's because PS4/Xbox One are very similiarly built tech wise, it's no secret that they're basically just PC's in custom form factor, no custom chips built specifically for them like PS3 Cell Proccesor or all the other old consoles. The same applies to the PS5/Series, it's very easy to port games between them all. It's never been like that before. Not to mention many other factors in play here, like the insane development costs for new gen exclusive AAA games. I've always said that PS5/XSX released way too soon back in 2020, there wasn't a real demand for them, PS4 was still going more than strong with titles like Last of Us Part 2 and Ghost of Tsushima to name a few, which still look more than beautiful. There was lot of juice left in it. I remember when DriveClub released for PS4 back in 2014 i think and it looked insanely good, hell, it still looks great, that was a generational leap from PS3. On PS5 there's still nothing remotely mindblowing 2 years after releaseI stick to my statement that the gen has not started yet. Compared to the effort devs put into multiplatform games real current gen titles are rare. Nobody wants to make them yet. And you cannot just blame Sony for that. It is the whole industry. The whole industry is not ready to go current gen. They do not want to make it work yet.
Agreed. I'd say that current gen have all the signs to become the longest one since the 1st. Not to mention Nintendo which didn't even enter the race yet. Switch is last gen.It will take years until we can find out what the current gen really can do.
