Totoki also revealed Sony already considers the PS5 to be moving into “the second half of its console [life] cycle,” and they expect a gradual decline in sales. Sony will focus on optimizing sales with a “greater focus on revenue balance.”
Pretty much. The main selling point of this "gen" was not how much better games looked or how much more games can do now, but just faster loading times due to an SSD lol.
Back in February, Sony said the PS5 was in “the latter part of its life cycle.” It came out November 2020, so I guess that’s a good run? Did it ever get a killer app?
No, it certainly didn't. I think that you could name a good many for the Switch and a few for the XB1, but I can't think of something that would make me want a PS5 at all.
Tsukihime is a Visual Novel (made by the same dudes who made Fate, the original predates it in fact) so that's why, it's not like you need the PS5 to make it work lol
IIRC, there is only like a dozen games or so that came out on PS5 without coming out on PS4 as well. Almost everything comes out on both even now. We are at the point where the graphical improvement from one gen to the next is negligible. The companies doing this have the hard data and they know PS5 sales are lagging behind.
That's the biggest sign of the failure of PS5 as it shows a massive hesitation to adopt the new hardware from it's own fanbase. My PS4 keeps sending me ad deals to get cash back for a trade-in of my PS4 and upgrade to PS5. They are getting pretty desperate.
I’m more impressed there are still PS4 games coming out while the PS5 is already being sunsetted.
Wait, PS5 is in it's twilight years?
yep.

Between PS5 and Series X, it’s basically a game generation that never happened.

Never forget the switch is the ps5 generation equivalent.
Psx=64 ps2=GameCube ps3=wii ps4=wiiU ps5=switch
As always. And deservedly so. Nintendo reigns.
Haven't there been less than 15 PS5 exclusive games in the entire lifetime of the console?
And maybe 2 worth playing.

I mean, they're right. Most of the modern generations last about 8 years with a couple years of overlap.
They're not supposed to say that though.
Literally Demon's Souls was the only one it ever had.
The few it had for a while weren't enough to sell it, so they all ended up on PC to recoup losses.
