Game prices. Higher game prices have people more cautious with purchases where lower prices cause people to "fuck it, I'll try it".

My PS5 is a Call of Duty: Warzone machine because that's what my friends play on.
I think I have ~10 games I bought for the PS5 since I got it in 2021. But if a game is on PS5 and PC, I go PC.
And I'll download the "free" PS Plus games each month, but I've only played a handful of those to completion.
Yeah...I'm pretty disappointed with PS5-exclusive output so far.

Easily the worst generation for exclusives across all consoles. I couldn’t imagine owning just one console this generation. If my OCD allowed me, I’d just be a PC gamer where you can have access to it all.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
Not sure about digital because I have a lot, but as far as physical copies of games, I have 22 on PS4 and 16 on PS5 at them moment. Seems about right on track for me.
Edit:
I gave all my PS3 games away. Not really interested in revisiting much on that console.
I kept 18 PS2 games and 15 PS1 games.

Yeah, easily the worst generation ever with the fewest unique and memorable games.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
It probably sucks if you mostly look for AAA exclusive games.
If you'd broaden your horizons and started checking more indies, AA games and games from Asia, you'd find yourself drowning in shit to play.

To each their own. I feel that's just gaming in general. There's been nothing mind blowing for a while on any system. I just turned my Xbox into a RetroArch system and the Switch's big hits lately have been remasters again. PC is just full of crap. The first party is crap for Sony right now and I kind of think that's because they keep pushing out these stupid narrative games instead of fun games. I'm sorry, fan. Modern God of War doesn't hold even a fart to older God of zwar games which were just a blast to play. These new ones aren't that fun, they're just wordy enough to feel better to some who want movie games.

It’s my least favourite PlayStation generation. I’ve said it before. Been there for all of them.
I recently sold my PS5 and am in the only period of not owing a current PlayStation since 1995. I even had a VR2… don’t even get me started on that thing.
I may buy the Pro if its the best experience for GTA6 and then I’d probably pick up Astrobot for it at that point as well.
But at no point will my PS5 library be anything like the previous 4 generations.

I am buying less games for a different reason.
Thanks to gamepass, ps plus and ms rewards I only end up spending money on ps5 exclusives, games that I really like and during sales.
For example, so far this year I only bought: FFVII Rebirth, Stellar Blade, Rise of The Ronin, Helldivers 2, Shadow of The Erdtree, Resident Evil 4 Remake Gold Edition, Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition, Kingdoms and Castles and Vampire Survivors dlcs.
For me this gen has been great, lots of cool games, no complaints from me.

I just got a PS5 after playing almost no video games for the past 2 years. The only game I have right now is Final Fantasy XVI (it’s great) and there seem to be so many good games waiting for me:
Final fantasy XVI
Final Fantasy VII rebirth
Demon’s Souls
GOW Ragnarok
Persona 3 Reload
Returnal
Alan Wake 2
Resident Evil 4
Stellar Blade
TLOU P1+2
I’m sure there’s a bunch I’m missing but I’m pumped.

Hahaha what is this even the reverse from people calling Nintendo childish ( outgrew kiddy games) but in this case it's the gamer who is childish.

Maybe outgrow is not the right expression to use (i'm not an english native speaker sorry). Maybe Sony's priorities aren't with gamers in the 30's and 40's which is probably what GAF is and because of that Sony's games this year aren't something they enjoy.

Ow that makes a lot more sense but the way i read it was quite funny.
I'm also not a native speaker btw so no worries there.

For people who got a Ps5 primarily as machine for exclusives I guess I can see the argument. The first party output has been pretty slow and somewhat underwhelming.
But as someone who uses his Ps5 as his primary gaming system I think this gen has been great. I've never felt I didn't have anything to play, in fact it feels like I'm constantly 4-5 releases behind as games that interest me come out at such a fast pace that I can't keep up.
This year alone I still want to play FF7 Rebirth, Stellar Blade, SMTV, Another Crab's Treasure, Kunitsu-Gami, Pop The lost Crown, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and maybe V-Rising if a few friends pick it up.
So instead of spending $499, a lot of the more casual (and/or less wealthy) players will spend $1000+ and get a PC?
Not everyone buys consoles ONLY for exclusive, in fact I'd argue the vast majority of Ps5 owners get it as a device to play all sorts of games.
You think the average PS5 owners looks at a year like 2023 with stuff like Re4R, Hogwarts Legacy, FFXVI, Armored Core, Baldur's Gate 3, Street Fighter 6, Lies of P, Dredge, Diablo 4, Jedi Survivor, Spiderman 2, Remnant 2, Alan Wake 2, Jusant, Cocoon, Like a Dragon TMHEHN, Cyberpunk DLC, etc and then goes "Oh boy this year was shit and there's basically nothing to play on my Ps5 because only 1 of those games was published by Sony" ?

Mine is bigger than ever because previously my PC was always way better both in performance and image quality than before. With PS3 era, I was already playing at 1080p@60fps on PC, when the PS4 came (even the pro) I was playing at native 1440p@60fps on PC. Always been more of a PC player and only bought exclusives on consoles.
Now the differences aren't THAT huge like they were before and I just love the Dual Sense and its haptic feedback (especially in shooters and racing games the adaptive triggers); no other controller made me feel like that and enjoy it as much as the Dual Sense does.
Plus, micro stutter wasn't such a big thing back then. Today, I tend to buy the PS5 version instead, so it's exclusives and non-exclusives alike which hadn't happened before.
Hence, a very big collection (comparatively). Steam, with 800 games, is still my biggest platform by far, though.
Approximate numbers would be:
PS3: 10 games
PS4: 15
PS5: those 15 of PS4 plus 25 PS5 versions.

This is the first gen where I didn't get the console at launch (not by my choice) and have only purchased two games:
GOW Ragnarok
Astro Bot
However, I more irritated that the dual sense controllers have a very short left before the stick drift comes in

Yeah this is really it for me. PS4/ PS3 had defacto exclusives like persona 5 and yakuza 0. Now everything comes to Steam day one except sweet baby slop like Spiderman which I really don’t care about. Last time I used my ps5 was to play the FFXVI demo. Might move it into by bedroom and use it as a giant blu ray player.

My consoles chronicly
NES
PC
PS2
360 then PS3
PC
PS4 then Wii U and Xbox One
PC
Series X
The only thing in common is 3rd party games, I didn't even know what the heck is thing called exclusive tell I bought the ps3 and started thinking what I'm actually missing, that's when I decided to own 3 consoles at once, it didn't work for me cause unless I'm Alanah Pearce or Asmongold it would make sense, at this point I started turning back to 3rd parties cause that's the usual thing that keeps me going, and exclusives for main events, but not the usual thing to do cause I'll keep talking about them forever and I learned this the hard way, it's the truth, I don't care about exclusives, at the same time, I welcome them anytime.

PS5 for me is probably on par with PS4.
Not sure how many vs how many though, but I do know that as I've grown older, time-management plays a big part in it as well.
I don't even have enough time to play videogames as much as when I played on PS2 for example, so obviously I'm gonna own far less games nowadays.
I mean, what's the point in creating backlogs because of FOMO?

God forbid that those in charge learn how to schedule things so that workers get to spend time with their families.
In a time of rampant layoffs, the idea of expecting workers to sacrifice so much for a company is laughable.
Thank goodness the "wokes" out there are willing to fight for fair treatment and a healthy work/life balance.

I’m in the same. It’s also the fact that you are getting older and the games are just absolutely the same since PS3 with better presentation.
You are playing the same games all over again.

It's okay. I really shouldn't be talking about outgrowing anything since i've been playing Genshin Impact non-stop as a 36 year old so...who am i to judge anyone? lmao

ps5 is sony's worst console, not a surprise. there is no variety of games anymore from them, it started with the ps4.
I'm the opposite. I'm finding there are too many games I'm interested in and not enough time to play them all nowadays. I still need to Play FF7 Rebirth, Rise of the Ronin, and finish Stellar Blade. I've got a massive list/collection I'm going through one by one and while playing and spending way too much time in games like GT7 or Helldivers 2 new stuff keeps getting added. I don't think I'll be able to get to Astrobot at launch.

I haven't bought anything for my PS5 since Gran Turismo 7. I've reviewed a few things and played some PS+ stuff sure, but I don't really wanna spend money on this disappointment these days.

Just a minor "I told you so" to the people giving me shit yesterday for saying that PS gamers seem uniquely depressed and unsatisfied lately in the "industry is dying" thread. There's a thread like this every few days.
Right? how come I didn't see posts like these as a reason why the industry is in a downturn?
A few things to blame why things suck right now:
The Global Pandemic
Massive increase in development costs
Massive increase in development time
DEI in our games

Digital I'm not sure, but Physical I don't agree.
I've bought way more games physically this gen for PS5, even if they are PS4 versions so I can get the free upgrade.
Felt like on PS4 I was only buying first party stuff, and a couple of third-party outliers like Red Dead 2 and TW3.
This gen, probably because of the pandemic and influx of releases, feels like I'm buying everything. Publishers are slashing prices a lot quicker too.
