Consoles are getting more and more redundant each new gen. Building a PC or upgrading your PC seems like a much smarter play. Play all Xbox games, all pC games, all switch 1 games (emulation) and most Playstation 1st party games. It's the one platform to rule them all.There has been a lot of discussion on the PS5 generation on NeoGAF, and apparently a lot of GAF is seriously convinced that this is the worst generation of PlayStation ever.
I personally do not think so, and coming to PlayStation for the console experience as I do, I think the current experience is actually very good, and shall continue to ensure Sony sells ~100 million machines every generation as long as they keep that maintained and going.
But for you enthusiasts on this community, I have a question. As things stand right now, would you get a PS6?
My bet is Itll be $600 minimum for the home console and $450 minimum for the handheld. 650 for home and 500 for handheld highly likely but I think 700 is less likely unless they position the PS6 as a PS5 Pro Pro i.e the most powerful machine you can buy while still largely supporting the PS5 maybe even a little more than they did the PS4 with Miles Morales, gow Ragnarok and horizon forbidden West.I'm really curious what the PS6 launch price will end up being. I'd almost say to wait for the PS6 Pro, but if it follows a similar pricing trend of the PS5 - PS5Pro, that's a big no from me.
I've also owned all PS systems except 5 pro, but I'm done with traditional consoles.I've owned PS1-PS5 pro. No chance I would pass on PS6.
Because the question is for as things stand right nowWhy doesn't a single choice say it depends on what games are available for it? A PS6 (or any console) is a useless piece of plastic without software to play on it, so if the software isn't there, there is no reason to buy one. If the games ARE there, I'd get one immediately, or when those games become available. But this is how it works for all consoles.
For most that'll probably depend on if it's 30 FPS on the pro or not.It's still two years away. Meanwhile, Rockstar grabbing everyone by the balls with a console exclusive GTA6 next spring to force PS5 sales.
If I get a PS5 Pro to play GTA 6, will I even want to upgrade to a PS6 only a couple of years later? Probably not, that's too much money too soon.
