It seems soon because it feels like barely anything came out in terms of exclusives for the PS5. Naughty Dog didn't even come out with anything that wasn't a remake.

Sony spent this entire generation making live service games are were DOA or failed after years of development.

People generally buy Sony consoles for their single player exclusives. It seems like that is not a factor to consider for their next console.

I’m not interested in PS6. I’m more interested in building a Steambox to avoid Windows 11.

Same I when it comes to my next upgrade I want to go AMD GPU next time around for the best Linux support.

It's a night and day difference compared to Nvidia.

Nvidia is not going to give a crap until the ~~money laundering~~ AI bubble pops.

I like the cut of your jib, pal.

I’m just an old fart. There are dozens of us.

The best situation for consumers is for games to come out on as many platforms as possible. Exclusives are cancer. It's awesome to see less and less of them every generation.

[–] Lfrith@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Well for me Sony exclusive means Sony produced games, and they've just not released in that department. I'm PC now so its not exclusive for me anyways, but it does matter for console players choosing between Sony or Xbox. And Sony has really under delivered this gen with games from them.

[–] mika_mika@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Didn't Microsoft buy up a shitton of studios- killing some of them? I wouldn't consider exclusives a good indicator of health necessarily.

Yes they did:

FASA

Digital anvil

Lionhead

Ensemble Studios

...

That's been the only selling point of consoles for me. They mostly all come out on the PC now so more an observation of how Sony's releases this gen has been really lackluster compared to previous gens.
