Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGC (www.videogameschronicle.com)

Also noteworthy that not only are PS5 sales behind PS4, but the PlayStation's competition has almost entirely disappeared, and that hasn't resulted in more PlayStations sold.

This is true for me. I did not buy a ps5, but instead a PC. There are no games on ps5 that I want to play that I cannot play on PC.

True for me too, only I did buy a PS5, then a Steam Deck, then built a Linux gaming PC. I doubt I’ll ever go back to PS again, not after this gen.

And the more people do the same the less console exclusives there will be (outside of the Nintendo ecosystem)

And this coming release will be the first time I'm not going to bother about a new Nintendo console going back to the original. For context, I even like the Virtual Boy. Nintendo has done everything possible to make themselves unlikable.

Yeah, the hardest thing is really going to be GTA6. The reason I bought a PS4 was GTA5. Needing to wait 2 years to play GTA6 on PC will be a tough thing to swing.

Just remember that GTAV's performance on PS3/Xbox360 is about how well GTAVI is likely going to run on PS5/Xbox Series X.

We've got a few years until the PC release as PS6 is coming.
