I'm still waiting for a reason to get a PS5 at all, everything I've been interested still got released on PS4 too - except for one single game.
I really don't care for better specs anymore, I probably couldn't even tell PS4 and PS5 games apart without a side-by-side comparison. Not to mention, to see a difference at all I'd need a new TV on top of the console. Not gonna happen anytime soon.
One major improvement with the PS5 is the instant loading times. I don't think this thing will be any faster in that regard but it's a major improvement over the PS4. The other improvement over my original PS4 is that it doesn't sound like a jet engine after 20 minutes of running.
Ray tracing is cool but what console games are even using it at this point? It's like them advertising "8K capable" as if anyone gives a shit about that during a time that 4k is just barely becoming the standard for most.
Consider opening up that PS4 and cleaning out any dust. It doesn't fix the noise completely, but it can make a big difference.
You can do an SSD upgrade to reduce load times.
