I wonder how long Sony will even bother with the PlayStation. Nintendo had to merge its console and portable lines and Sony's big reason to have the line was to push its hardware standards.

I stopped at ps3. But when I worked at Activision, I learned that the ps5 was a great system to work on for development. It's too bad that they're fucking over consumers

I mean, given how hard the PS3 was to develop for I'd imagine Sony learned their lesson there.

My last one was PS4 and I regret buying it now. I had like 40 games for PS3 and I thought I would probably repeat with PS4 but and at the end of the day, I only was interested enough to get 9 games. I'm just way too into doing things on the PC now and there's just not enough exciting exclusive content to justify consoles for me.

I bought a ps4 for $20 in mint condition after being a die hard 360 player.

Its all linux from here, baybeee

I've been team Sony since the first PS. PS5 is my last.

Yea im kinda sad about it from nostalgia.

But fuck em.

Sony throws out the discs so they can make camera parts instead.

They sure are grateful of their customers.

Dude I'm not even into consoles/gaming but this dystopian blade runner capitalism shit hits home every day now. Even frozen meals are becoming so tasteless/expensive I'm starting to wonder how decapitating someone will make it taste better.

My ps3 was my last PlayStation couldn't justify a ps4 and the ps5 was a nightmare for all the games releasing digital only (or having a disc that was effectively a drink coaster due to the game still needing downloaded in order to play)

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Don’t you still need the disc for the license

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 hours ago

I noticed the PS4 games took up way more hard drive space than the PS3 ones

[-] DeadEndLink@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

Ps4 is my last computer/streaming device/jailbroken stealing machine...

[-] Switorik@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 hours ago

I regret my ps4 and happy I opted out when ps5 came around. Xbox has been faffing about since the 360 era. Consoles are no longer relevant.

My last Playstation was the PS4, it's not enough exclusive games on PS5 to make me buy it instead invest on my rig, also lots pf games who have been launched also runs on PS4, so it was meaningless anyway

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

The forced PlayStation plus for online was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Long live free PS3 multiplayer. The games are expensive already at $80.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 hours ago

Would've been perfect with the disc version of the PS5.

My second DVD player, my second Blu-ray player, and I didn’t have that one but I had a PS1.

Can the design of the PS4 get some love? One of if not the coolest looking consoles ever. That and the GameCube. Never owned either but always admired the style.

[-] spacegoat@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Same trajectory for me. I’m actively avoiding all Sony products

[-] forbiddencherry@lemmy.today 3 points 5 hours ago

Had a PS4 but it collected dust while the Switch got all the play (docked, even).

Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally destroying older games with kill switches.

The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.
