The PlayStation Situation Is OUT OF CONTROL – PS4 Exclusive Controversy, PS5 Cross-Gen Games & MORE!



PlayStation has found itself at the end of poorly aging statements once more. Last time, it was backwards compatibility and this go around it is much more current honing in on the latest exclusives. It was recently confirmed that the PlayStation 4 will hang around for games like God of War and Horizon Forbidden West. Despite that, they’ve committed in half measures with the likes of Returnal and Ratchet being PS5 exclusive? After some research, I was left wondering… are they really not living up to the promises made? Compared to the PS4 generation, I think they’re doing well, but this requires a much more detailed discussion.

  1. Honestly I’m fine with them partially sticking with PS4, as a PS5 owner myself too.

    Couldn’t care less, the games will still be great

    My favorite game on PS5 rn is Bloodborne, that should say a lot

  2. everyone complaining rn about "nobody can get a ps5", just wait till mid or late 2022 when GoW is coming out. bet people start complaining that GOW isnt next gen enough now cause "most people have ps5's now" lol once the supply levels out the narrative will switch instantly, to bad development cant make the same instant switch.

  3. When you compared the "exclusives" from 4-5 the ones for PS5 aren't better by any means. The one that came with the PS5 doesn't count, that is a give me, Demon Souls isn't a new game, Destruction All Stars (seriously), Returnal is a good one …so I would only consider Returnal and Ratchet and Clank as TWO true exclusives for this console since launch.

    Horizon Forbidden West & God of War 2, Gran T 7 will not be exclusive to PS5 and they SHOULD be, UNLESS Sony makes a SEPARATE version for PS4 players and then an entirely SEPARATE version for PS5 owners. They don't do that though, instead they take the PS4 and slap a PS5 sticker on it….much like recycled trash but with a higher price tag.

  4. AKA —- I do NOT respect Sony, and the position they have taken. They have made a choice to screw PS5 owners by putting this console on the market so it can sit in homes and get no usage. Furthermore, they are making further decisions that are basically saying we as consumers should sell the thing and just buy a PC since ALL the games will be going that direction anyway.

  5. 110 million PS4 owners only 7.8 million PS5 sold worldwide. I don’t see how anyone would be surprised that they are moving games to PS4 . Because of the chip shortage it could be 2022 before most people can readily purchase a PS5 from a legitimate business (not overpriced scalpers).

  6. The only reason why it continues to happen even though it has "happened before" is because we allow it to continue.
    ie; "Ladies and gentlemen… You vote with your wallet. Your dollar bill, your ballot. Alone you are just a whisper, but together they can't stop us."
    "Console exclusive"; until the sales fall then they port it to pc.
    oh btw… PC Master Race. 😅

  7. I think its a really dumb argument in the first place. Who cares if they change their mind and make certain games playable on ps4. If they can without sacrificing quality why not. The exclusives will come for both consoles. Play what you enjoy. Enjoy what you play. There are plenty of exclusives coming out on top of what we already have.

  8. Bro…on PC graphics are dialed back and such and enhanced depending on hardware on all games…this is a very straightforward concept. Ps4 and xbox one aren't holding games back simply because they're releasing on them still…Like I like your content matty, but u missed the mark on this video I believe in a way. U talking about the messaging makes sense tho. So I'm 50/50 on this video. I have an Xbox series x and a PC, and I still love my Xbox. Fps boost, auto hdr is awesome and the only actual next generation game on Xbox I'd say is the medium even though it is on pc. I get youre talking about Playstation but the same concept applies

  9. Hey tell the scalpers to stop buying the systems so I can buy one and put away my PS4 and once all of the PS4 users get a PS5 we can all have the exclusives you want but I sorry to inform you that 80 plus million of us want to play games so you will have to wait 2 maybe 3 years before it's PS5 only.

  10. I would agree with the idea of making more ps5 exclusive games if PS5s weren’t still be scalped and Sony was able to meet demands, I’ve been trying to get a PS5 since release and everywhere I go it’s still sold out and the lowest price I saw to get it was still $700, so I’m quite happy that Sony is focusing on releasing PS4 games still. They may be making sales targets but a huge chunk of those sales are still just scalpers

  11. Very true, these exclusive games mentioned so far are not exciting. I feel for those early adopters but I can't relate at all. I bought my ps4 in 2017 and I have so many games to play and finish before a ps5 will even matter to me

  12. only ones who have a problem with this is the crazy fanboys..so what if they have a ps4 version…the best version is still in the ps5…these fanboys cry about exclusives and they dont even buy them..out of 110 million ps4s they only highest selling exclusive was last of us with only 20 million…so its bad business to exclude ps4 when ps5 is low in numbers and stock is not even available

  13. First ps4 was doing so great . 2 they launch pro model which was good for 2 more years. Then they choose pandemic to launch. Now they want ps4 user to buy their games so they can make more money 💰

  14. Many people like me don’t have a ps5 so for these games to be exclusive to the ps5 would be bad because the ps5’s are being pushed back so we wouldn’t even be able to play these games until Sony fix the ps5’s
