  1. I have a ps5 and the only game that I played on it was The Last of Us part 2 bc their is just nothing else that is remotely interesting. Ac Valhalla was a let down, miles morales was overrated and the only hopeful was the controller demonstration that Astro’s playroom showcases. Probably would’ve been better to hold off the launch until games came out that people were actually excited about.

  2. I still can't believe this is even a thing. I am beyond disappointed in the management at Sony and Microsoft. Even Nintendo doesn't have their regular Switch readily available. It is all a huge mess.

  3. Just think about how much harder it's gonna be to get the PS6 and future Xbox console. Everyone knows these companies will not learn their lesson and will continue to short supply 7 years from now. Make sure you preorder.

  4. By the time we actually get our hands on one of these they will be well over a year old tech. At that point I would not be that interested I would either wait another 3 years for the upgrade model or just spec a PC.

  5. Xbox Series X is the only console which will benefit from the delay to holiday 2021 because its launch is disastrous without any exclusives and the first year doesn't look any better (no wonder Ryan likes the idea since it's in the XB favor).

    PS5 on the other had the best launch lineup in history and will have Horizon 2 / Ratchet / Deathloop / Returnal and other great games in it's first year.

  6. Guys At the moment the only Real difference in my eyes apart from the layout is the loading speed times and start up from rest mode. I haven’t really played that many PS5 games on mine but it does upscale a few PS4 games superbly
