It’s like all we heard about the PS5 was that it was super hard to get when it came out and then it kind of disappeared from our collective consciousness

It is still super hard to get

Gee, wonder why.

Here are the trends with previous consoles:
PS1 : 455 -> PS2 : 512 -> PS3 : 180 -> PS4 : 58 -> PS5 : 15
Xbox : 106 -> Xbox 360 : 214 -> Xbox One : 12
Nintendo 64 : 129 -> Nintendo Wii : 328 -> Nintendo Wii U : 38 -> Nintendo Switch : 174

Now do the same for PC
- golden_zealot ( @golden_zealot@lemmy.ml ) English1•6 months ago
The source notes that for Mac there have been 2 exclusive games across all versions, and for Windows, there have been about 2560 across all versions. There doesn’t appear to be a listing for Linux unfortunately.
- Moonrise2473 ( @Moonrise2473@lemmy.ml ) 2•6 months ago
So the Xbox one series (aka Xbox one 2) has zero dedicated games?
- golden_zealot ( @golden_zealot@lemmy.ml ) English1•6 months ago
It depends on how the source categorized the information and how Microsoft classifies the Xbox One versus the Xbox One Series (whether as being two actual different consoles, or two versions of the same console.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category%3ASingle-platform_video_games
There is only one entry for anything related to Xbox One as far as I can see so I expect the 12 it notes are distributed across all versions of the Xbox One, or that there are 0 dedicated games for the Xbox One Series proper.
- desktop_user ( @desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•6 months ago
where is the GameCube or xbox series?
- Kit ( @Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 5•6 months ago
I don’t think Xbox Series has exclusives. All of their stuff is on PC afaik.
- golden_zealot ( @golden_zealot@lemmy.ml ) English1•6 months ago
There is no listing in the source for Xbox Series, however Gamecube shows 80 exclusive titles.
- TheOakTree ( @TheOakTree@beehaw.org ) 1•6 months ago
Shouldn’t FF16 also be on this list? Given that FF7 Rebirth will almost definitely see a PC port, I don’t think the ongoing development of an FF16 PC port should exclude it from the list.

All the greatest recent games run super well on the Steam Deck, so there’s no need for a giant console cosplaying as a router.

All the greatest recent games run super well on the Steam Deck
I get what you are telling here, but it’s not 100% accurate, generally speaking. It might be true for you personally. I own a first gen Steam Deck myself and its just a complementary hardware to my PC (and wonderful at that). It does not run all greatest games at all or in some cases limited and problematic. So “super well” is a little bit exaggerated, but that does not take away how fantastic the device is.
- Che Banana ( @The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org ) 7•6 months ago
Right? I’ve had the Xbox since the beginning, didn’t get the last upgrade and finally sold the One to get a steam deck.
- Random Dent ( @CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml ) English14•6 months ago
For me, it was:
-
You couldn’t get one for ages when it came out, so I missed the initial hype period.
-
When it did finally become available, it was prohibitively expensive.
-
There are no real killer exclusives or features so no particular reason to upgrade, aside from games looking nicer.
-
Sony is releasing all the good stuff on PC now, so if I want to play a nicer-looking version of a PS4 game I can just do that.

Steam Deck

it has no games and was plagued by availability/price issues for a BIG while there.
why should anyone buy it?
- Swarfega ( @Swarfega@lemm.ee ) English2•6 months ago
I said I wish I hadn’t purchased the PS5 due to the poor library of games in comparison to the PS4 era on Reddit. Proceeded to get downvotes.
- thingsiplay ( @thingsiplay@beehaw.org ) 8•6 months ago
Most people don’t need the newest and expensive tech. From the last 30 days of active games on Playstation brand, here a split
PS3/PS4/PS5
(I just show a ratio that is set in relation to the numbers of players for the game), meaning left side is older console:https://ps-timetracker.com/statistic/last-30-days
- / 42 / 14
Fortnite (3 times)- / 3 / 2
Roblox (1.5 times)0 / 33 / 9
Minecraft** (3.7 times)- / 14 / 9
Cod:MW2 (1.6 times)- / 38 / 12
GTA V (3.2 times)- / 23 / 8
Rainbow Siege (2.9 times)- / 26 / 8
Apex Legends (3.3 times)- / 17 / 7
Overwatch 2 (2.4 times)- / 1 / 1
EA Sports FC 24 (1 time)
Edit: I have added simple math result in how many times the PS4 player base is big as the PS5 player base. Just out of curiosity and to provide a quicker way of scanning through the list.
(**ps3 players almost at 0 level for this game)
As you can see, all games are available for PS4 and they run decent enough, are multiplayer games and the new consoles do not offer anything substantial for these kind of players.

The PS5 doesn’t even have a browser because they’re scared of exploits
Why not just have some hardened Firefox with auto updates instead of licensing a browser from a company specialized in exploitable browsers for consoles? Nobody uses netfront, why Sony and Nintendo are so obsessed with it?
- Bluefalcon ( @Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de ) 6•6 months ago
All the games are in both consoles. If amything, it’s dragging down PS5 ppl.

I play, like, fine games. In very irregular binges. Why the fuck would I shill out 500 Euros, to raise my binges’ fps?
- SturgiesYrFase ( @SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml ) 6•6 months ago
I only bought a ps4 well after the 5 dropped, and only because my pal had got a new xbox and wasn’t playing with his ps4 anymore. Long story short I got the ps4, 3 controllers, and 5 hardcopy games for £50 and a joint. Until I can get a ps5 for that…I ain’t upgrading

I’ve been holding out for an eventual PS5 Pro version since day 1. The base PS5 having less space than my stock PS4 Pro was the biggest dealbreaker for me.
