You guys aren't missing out on much. I mostly use my ps5 to play ps4 games smh

 

[Koba St]

Still can’t believe I went on Amazon on day one of the preorders and just got one just like that in seconds with no fuss. I remember thinking perhaps PS5 preorders weren’t that high considering how easy it was but I was there at the exact right time

 

[George's Dilemma]

It really doesn't matter What games are out that demands owning a PS5? I check the news every now and then to see if it's available. If it is I'll buy it, but man there is absolutely no reason to be pressed to purchase a PS5 at the moment.

No interest in this system until GOW comes out

games are being delayed because of COVID
the shortage might last all of 2022
Sony has to make money and have financial revenue expectations for each financial quarter that require their games being released in a timely manner
They are going to release the games as soon as they are ready as there is no point in holding them back now
The PS5 has a high attachment rate
I preordered a PS5 to avoid this scenario
Returnal released, RE8 came out, R&C coming soon along w/ FF7 PS5 upgrade, Horizon coming out this year, maybe Ragnarok but likely for early 22, etc.
Each game release makes it harder to get a pS5
I've been playing my PS5 almost every day

Battlefield 6 coming too with that 128 player count shyt gone feel like real life war

Possibly, but everything that has came out has been a remake or DLC for another game. I'm probably gonna buy R/C, mostly because that's all that will be out. Right now it's Returnal and a bunch of multi-plat games. Not saying that covid
doesn't factor into that but if Guilty Gear Strive wasn't coming out i'd be annoyed at the lack of exclusive content for both next gen systems.

Waiting until games i care about come out and maybe even waiting until a price drop
I got hella games on PS4 and even 360 I ain't fully jump into yet.

 

[SNG]

Damn all that means is to expect a longer a Gen. Glad I got a PS5 and Series X already.

Just focus on making dope games the chip shortage will sort itself out... that's how highly valuable a ps5 is worth right now... everyone still trying to cop one..

It's literally just hype though. Who do you know that's buying a PS5 because there is something they want to play RIGHT NOW? It really ain't worth shyt right now to anybody but resellers...

Hate to use the example again, but let's say Apple. NOBODY is buying their products for what their phones can actually do (or can't do, for that matter); hell, 90% of people have no clue what they are buying when they buy a phone. But Apple built a name for themselves and they can run shyt off of pure hype alone. No innovation needed

It's not all hype. Alot of people want it because they know next gen piff will drop eventually on it.

you're missing the big picture/point. the point is to actually have the system when the game you really want releases. if you wanted to play ragnarok, how are you going to get the system when the game releases?
sony will load up their units for a release like that but even if it were millions of PS5s worldwide they will evaporate.

Especially around the holidays and after. The anticipation of Ragnarok alone is gonna drive up demand, then good luck playing it day one unless you cop from reseller which will probably drive prices back up again in the winter.

But that word "eventually" means a lot. I believe even more people want it simply off of monkey see, monkey do and hype. The majority of people that want the console can't even tell you the difference is between PS4 and PS5 besides graphics...people don't know and don't care to know what they are buying. They will buy what they see/hear others buy, and that applies to everything, if you think about it
