Lack of launch titles = drop in sales.
Lack of available consoles = drop in sales.
Lack of real next gen console = drop in sales.

They would've known they could've sold 5x the amount of consoles so why didn't they send out 5x more consoles?

What was there, 5 launch titles for each console?
What did the PS4 have? 20?
What did the PS3 have? 30?

So when the PS4Pro+ (aka PS5) only have 3 launch titles thats pathetic.
And $ony saying "play your PS4 games" WHY? Why not save your money and play those PS4 games ON YOUR PS4!!!

At least the XboxSeriesX can play EVERYTHING as its got proper BC so you do only need 1 console where the PS5 wont, its limited to some PS4 games, you need a PS4 controller, PS4 camera +a new adapter, and all it does is play those PS4 games some with glitches but a load up a little quicker. SO?
Thats not next gen to me.
When a console does 8K at 120FPS 100% of the time, NOT PEAK, then that MIGHT be actual next gen. A little faster HDD so games load a little quicker is NOT next gen, as I said its PS4Pro+ NOT next gen actual PS5.

No console is worth the money compared to upgrading your pc and it playing every damn game that you own. All the consoles do is resell reboots for its ‘cough’ next gen.....

you cant get much for your PC for $300....not that I am going to get a console anyway....

it's ~$300 for an S, I can attach my own storage, not gonna pay sony 300 for storage...
don't need another controler, I play solo...

and again, for that money, you can't build a PC taht can run 1080p@60fps 90% of the time, let alone 1440p and 4K @30/60/144fps...That would, now, set you back over $1500, without a TV/monitor...

My currency isn’t your currency. Your $300 is equal to £229 which is bullshit. It’s retail price is £449 to buy in my country which is $596 big difference!
You don’t buy or need a monitor for a PS# you just use your tv that you already have, (or parents have) it’s backwards compatible. Meaning that most PS# owners will be playing 1080 or what the TV supports. If on the other hand you have a PC and a decent graphics card then you’ll be throwing that image on a decent monitor or as big a screen as you can afford.

Here’s what I can buy for the price of a PS5 here, with cash back and 9TB of storage that I have

my currency isn't petro dollar, nor do I plan to buy a console ever...

PS. That card wont run 1440p @144fps, let alone 4K...You need to look at 2080Ti or newer cards...

I don’t think you’ll find many PS# owners running it at all at that resolution or refresh! Laughing

most houses I’ve seen that own consoles on tv are pretty budget models. So I can’t see someone lugging home a PS5 and a decent 4K gaming mode tv. All for under a grand. My 600Hz 46” Panasonic was £2,000

you have seen zero PS5s...I am yet to see a family that still uses 1080p TV...for ~300 of anyone dollar or pound you can get a 43" UHD at least.

Also, I don't care about "other people", 2TB is enough for me, 60fps is the lowest fps. And I can't get 60fps @1080p playing a console port (RDR2 for instance) on:

i7 9700
16GB 3600Mhz ram
1070Ti

that's already a new console and some spare money right there.

edit:

"My 600Hz 46” Panasonic was £2,000"

it's barley a 100 now, no one wants a stupid plasma and it's squealing (you can hear the white noise coming from the TV) display technology that burns the wall. That's why no one makes it anymore. There's no market for that POS technology, at least not big enough to warrant building plasma TVs anymore.
600Hz is what is making the noise btw. it's not like it can display 600 fps, it's not capable of doing that. It's a pointless number meant to confuse idiots.

lol, you have no clue what you are typing... Very Happy

edit: I actually know how displays work, and electronics that run behind them, unlike you Very Happy

600Hz "engine" is actually internal display refresh of the plasma panel...it has nothing to do with how many frames it can show... OMG....you are the internet idiot you are talking about.
lol active 3D, that's useless just to top it off for you plasma morons...

Have you guys tried Shadow?
For 12 dollars a month, you get a decent gaming PC with a Win10 desktop (where you can run Steam, UPlay, name your poison).
Sadly, the latency (~100) kills in the EU, but in NA, it's pretty good (~10ms).
Just how many months of PC use can you purchase from that 300 dollars???
