ps5 and xbox series suck as it is, what is another new console gonna do lol.

I hear the PS is dying since ps3 days and it's bs, we didn't get Skyrim vi as we didn't get GTA vi, it's not complicated, people just want games. If we only get Anime then the switch is the perfect choice, I'm sorry to say that but it's the truth.

That's fine, Switch 2 was unveiled with a Wii-level Mario Kart.

Nintendo showed a new Mario Kart. A new game is a new game.

Just pray for Sony not using TLOUSpart2 Remastered on PS6 showcase.

I hope Microsoft just calls Xbox 5. At least people would know it's a new xbox.

The living room is dead man. Consoles don't make sense anymore. Sony just needs to pack it up and start learning Steamworks. They will make a killing, and the margins are going to be so much higher. Company can use the extra float to find a better opportunity cost proposition. APU technology means there's never been a better time to bring VAIO back. Integrate a Sony skinned Steam or something and now you're cooking. They can even continue making controllers.

Just get into PC gaming... free yourself from this cycle.

nVidia: “Welcome to the cycle, pal!”

I disagree, those console need to stay on the market LONGER and get down to $199.
Graphics are well beyond good enough. just play games and let the industry grow.

We just need an updated PS2 with DualSense that never goes away.
A standardized "video game canvas" with built-in limitations that make game development challenging.
What studio A did with the canvas could be directly compared to what studio B did with this same canvas decades later, providing a true competition on a perfectly level playing field.
Great PS2 games all come with great stories about overcoming obstacles and 'making things work'. Removing the constraint from game development was a mistake.
Doing more with less (money/time) on a stable persistent platform will allow studios to take bigger risks and make better games.

Are you a leaker? Or just talking your ass?

The PS4 is still being supported because some people don’t want new consoles. I imagine the jump to PS6 will have some people still playing their PS5s until the mid 2030s.

Not yet, they don't. There's nothing wrong with the hardware. It's the lack of software that's the issue. This generation still barely feels like it has started due to the how few games they currently have. The live service obsession has murdered this generation's game output.

A thread about console only gamers complaining about performance but only want to pay < $399.

 

[VeganElduderino]

Fuck Ps6, we barely saw anything great on this generation of console, where's the HOLY FUCK I NEEDTHIS CONSOLE for that game!?

 

[KINGMOKU]

Why? So we can have cross-cross-generation games?

COD 2025 For PS4/One, PS5/X, PS6/everything.

"Now with 40tflops of power!"*








*games will still look like games on the PS4 but with more rez

 

[SHA]

We need more great games running on potatos like Bioshock Infinite. I fully stand with the idea to make games on potato xbox, potato Playstation and potato Nintendo as well as potato pc.

 

[Lord Malachite]

 

[JimmyRustler]

For what? Most games released today look like the PS4pro could run them…

More good games need to be released. We are in dire need.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

Generations matter, Nintendo keeps coming late, jobs are being lost due to ship shortage, Sony turned consoles into a phone industry, gaming isn’t a typical hobby, the switch 2 isn’t a typical console and if I’m Sony or Microsoft I don’t wait to launch new consoles, in fact I tease the ps6 tomorrow and launch it for GTA6.

Sony just released the ps5 pro. You aren’t seeing ps6 until 2027-28. MS is the one who should release holiday 2026. Make one powerful console and have all yours devs target it and pc.

PS5 should've been the cutoff point for a new continuous "PlayStation" generation.
PS should've baked updated PS2/PS1 HW into the PS5 and made it 100% digital only for new x86 and PS2/1 games with full PS2/1 disc BC.
Instead of PS5 it would just be "PlayStation", a triple platform console that's x86, PS2(upgraded EE+GS) and PS1 HW(upgraded).
All three platforms would stay constant and the focus would be on dropping the price of the console with time as opposed to improving its specs.
Games across all 3 platforms and the DualSense controller HW would continue to evolve.

I would prefer to just keep this generation going until we have lots of games that are hitting the ceiling of what's possible. Every generation, there are fewer and fewer studios that can afford to truly max-out the technical capabilities of the new consoles, and I'm not sure we've even really seen ONE game yet that I would describe that way.

Most of Sony's games have dual-launched on PS4/PS5, and usually their first party teams are the ones pushing the envelope the most. Spider-Man 2 looks good but I refuse to believe that it's the height of what the console is capable of...I want to wait and see what Rockstar/Naughty Dog can really do with this thing, when it's not held back by a cross-gun release.

Developer demand should dictate launch timing for new consoles...not the imaginary need for an 8 year cycle.
