Plenty of LCDs that are as good or better than Sony.

I was trying to stay positive on the upcoming gen. I figured I would get a PS5 if GT7 was coming soon, which the first showing suggested, but now it doesn't seem like it is. I'm still considering getting it for Demon's Souls and CoD but now I'm leaning towards just playing CoD on PC and getting a new graphics card after AMD announces, whenever I can grab one at my Microcenter.
I thought the showcase really did not respect the viewer's time. You have this brief nightmarket scene for Mile Morales just to pander to the Sony fanboys who actually like cinematic third person slow walking scenes, which is hilarious for anyone who browses GAF. Then the bridge fight looked underwhelming and filled with QTEs. Deathloop's trailer did not add anything to the first cut. The framerate in Black Ops was atrocious, which included many of the same scenes supposed running in real time on PS5 in the original reveal. Resident Evil had a boost to its framerate from last time but I'm not sure what they needed to show this time. I felt the same way about Horizon. I don't know why they needed a showcase for the same lineup of games when they could've just announced the price and focus on something else like the interface and digital delivery.
Final Fantasy XVI was the final nail in the coffin for this series and me. I know a lot of people are going to hype it up because it's an exclusive and it has a medieval fantasy look. But I don't play action JRPGs, the combat does not look like a worthwhile use of time. In the turn based games you can come up with interesting job class combinations to try to beat the encounters as efficiently as possible but this is just button mashing.
I will give them credit for Demon's Souls, it looks phenomenal in motion.

you probably won't buy a PS5 at launch, because you can't

Why does it need to be a Sony TV?
The 7 Best Gaming TVs of 2025
The Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED is not only the best OLED TV for gaming, it's the best gaming TV overall. It's a feature-packed TV that delivers an incredible gaming experience.www.rtings.com
Some like certain brands.
I have had Sony TVs since 80's, zero have broken.
Friends have had LGs and Samsungs, most have had problems with them.
Sonys have the Sony feeling I guess.
I still have 6 years old 1080p Sony as it still Works perfectly + looks good. I made 3 of my friends to buy same model and they use theirs too.
I know not all Sonys last forever and not all Samsungs have shitty capasitors, but I would not buy any other brand than Sony.
And yeah, current lineup aint perfect but x900h or 950 are good for gaming.
If "gaming TVs" would really be that big of a deal, normal TVs would be unplayable and they are fine

My takeaway?
I can play Miles Morales, Horizon, God of War Ragnarok, Gotham Knights, Hogwarts Legacy, probably ff16 & 7 Remake 2 and countless other upcoming games on my ps4?
Well shit even more reason for me to not get a console at launch, but in a year or 2 at a cheaper price and while I wait I will play the games above.

Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
This is what you get when you have clown ass internet nerds begging and pushing for 60FPS games as standard. Not to mention 120FPS. Its ridiculous. Devs dont give a damn about fidelity anymore. They can make a PS4 game and make it 60FPS and call it next gen.
Enjoy

Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022
Sadly, I agree with you. That is why I hit the pause button on next generation. 2 months ago I would slapped my money down in a second. Add to that, they up game prices to $70 but give us as players less content. Most of the bullshit they sell as DLC use to be called CHEAT CODES! Instead of just putting in button commands they sell it to you for $5. Imagine playing Contra back in the day and paying $20 for those 30 lives. It's happening. But lets not stop there....This is what you get when you have clown ass internet nerds begging and pushing for 60FPS games as standard. Not to mention 120FPS. Its ridiculous.

The way it's going, buying the bare minimal game will not be enough. $70 is going to be just the entry point to most games. The future.. They will sell you
The Deluxe Ediition for $89.99
The Super Duper Cool Edition for $99
or
The Up your ass sideways reach around edition for $119.99
They will all be digital and the only difference is how much content they include. Sony and Microsoft can go eat a dick with this business model.
