Oh man same for ps5, major let down. I let my psn lapse and I am just playing mostly games that were available on ps4, except now I have a shittier looking homescreen.
Still kills that I have a 1gb/s internet and a great TV but the playstation store shows ads in 120p.
I had Xbox game pass for a while (I converted XBL time for a token amount) but once it ended last year I couldn’t see any reason to pay the asking price. I’ve been waiting on this generation but it looks like it’s not going anywhere interesting.
Its a shit feeling tbh, I feel the whole industry is sliding in the wrong direction.
I turned on Hitman the other day and midway through a playthrough I got booted for loss of connection. It is a single player game. Finding it harder and harder to have a positive enough view to purchase games.
Why would MS care if you already have a PC? The console sale itself doesn’t really make them money, it’s the games. And if you’re still buying their games on PC they still get their (albeit lower) cut.
I am thoroughly confused by both your replies now. I haven’t got a platform they sell games for, AFAIK, but I had one. This generation they’ve failed to provide enough to get me to buy anything from them.
I thought they still made games for the non series X/S/One but apparently they stopped in 2023.
Well either way I felt the same way about the original one. I got mine in 2018 and I’ve played less than 100 hours of games on it, and never actually bought any games for it (I got it second hand with about 6 games).
In general I think AAA games just aren’t worthwhile, let alone AAA exclusives. There’s a lot of great indie games, but that requires going through the sludge of indie games.
I’ve got an Xbox One X, and have had since 2018. I’m still waiting on a reason to care about the current generation of consoles.
I have an Xbox One from 2012 and I still don’t see a reason to upgrade, it runs 1080p on my 4k TV but the loss is so small I barely notice
I got my Xbox Series to play Fable. It also doubles as an extra Halo machine for Lan parties. But it was really for Fable.
Still waiting, but it’s supposed to finally come out next year I believe.
I was on board with PS5 immediately with Ratchet & Clank and I’ve been pretty happy with it.

I don’t have a Windows PC though?
Then they still get your money and it’s at the higher cut.
