WHY DO PEOPLE BUY PS5

Why do people still buy this garbage with no exclusive games?
Every game on it is also on PC.

      "Gamers" believe that game consoles are "Gamercore"
      The idea that games exist in their purest form only on devices that were built specifically for the purpose of playing games seems silly but isn't all that farfetched, but it often comes with a false high of superiority. "My gaming experience is more pure than yours, PCs are for work and consoles are for play," something along the lines of this.
      What these people fail to realize is that game consoles' target audience has always been children. They are incredibly limited computers, and while most functioning adults own computers for work and life, gamers don't comprehend the worth or value behind a bonafide personal computer.
      Really they just buy consoles because they are simple to use.

      You're a moron.
      People got consoles before the turn of the millenium because home computers got shitty ports that sucked since porting actually took effort, and PCs were expensive and became obsolete extremely quickly. Furthermore, consoles were just plug and play, a fact that has long ceased to be true.
      Games designed with PC in mind were usually great though.

    Gaming pcs cost a frick ton more, borderline unplayble ports and straight up unplayable ports are the norm, you either have to build it yourself or get a shitty prebuilt that will come with gimped performance from the single stick ram configuration and shit cooling they all use so it's even less convenient and many games even come with malware aka denuvo. You need to be mental to choose a pc over a ps5.

      Same reason why the bought PS4s. But unlike PS4, PS5 is actually a somewhat decent machine. Who the frick bought 80 million PS4s, that's my question: how could these people endure 60-90 second long loading screens for an entire generation?!

      >Gaming pcs cost a frick ton more
      >borderline unplayble ports and straight up unplayable ports are the norm
      Both wrong. Even the "unplayable port" The Last of Us ran fine on 12GB cards, the issue was morons trying to play the game on High/Ultra with 8GB cards: https://youtu.be/Rh7kFgHe21k?t=290 .
      And most "terrible PC ports" run like shit on console as well, but the average console user doesn't care: Jedi Survivor dropped below 900p and/or 40 FPS in performance mode on PS5 https://youtu.be/iWJKuCfHLSU?t=720 .

      The reason why consoles still have a reason to exist is because they're plug-and-play. That's it. They aren't even that much cheaper nowadays.

              Never. Definitely not PlayStation.
              I can MAYBE see Microsoft launching some kind of Xbox-native version of Office. Maybe even allow third-parties (Adobe...) to launch their own Xbox-native versions of productivity programs.
              A complete open platform on which users can install whatever they want? Never ever. The entire console business model is based on locking people into a walled ecosystem; if you could just install Steam and play with a PlayStation controller on Series X, how is Microsoft supposed to make money.

              But even the first option seems unrealistic. Who would even care about Office on Xbox, a $100 laptop can run Word just fine. And for programs like Adobe Premiere, Xbox hardware is way too weak.

              When you need to use a low volume card selling for under msrp that wouldn't get restocked at that price if any amount of people seriously bought one instead of a PS5 only to still go over budget you ain't winning any price competition.

              The 6700XT has been selling for around that price for the last six months, what the frick are you talking about. You can easily buy one right now.

              NTA but you are wrong. Snoy isn't making the same mistake like the PS3 again.
              This doesn't account for the future either, PS4s cost nothing to made post 2016/17 and the same will happen for the PS5.

                You are cherry picking historic sources to fit your narrative. In 2022 the CFO said they lost money on each sale. Producer prices fluctuate, but the PS5 price has been consistent. This means that sometimes they'll lose, sometimes they'll profit.

                Seems like you're the one cherry picking when everywhere else says PS5 has been profitable since early/mid 2021 and is profitable now in 2023.
                You're literally choosing one point when everything was overpriced including desktop GPUs.
                PS5 will be made for pennies and sold for a massive mark up in the near future.

    yeah but not everyone wants to drop a minimum of 2k to play on pc. GPU prices are still bullshit and will probably stay that way for 3 or 4 more years and plenty of the pc ports have been dogshit lately.

    I bought one to play FFXVI.
    My PS4 Pro I was able to turn into Best Buy for ~200 bucks so the PS5 was only 300 dollars and it was a bundle that came with GoW Ragnarok.
    Not the best game but also gives me an excuse to finally get Demon Souls as well. So paying 300 bucks for 3 games and the ability to play all my PS4 games in higher fidelity seemed worth it to me.

    Do you want an actual answer or you came to validate your point that your console of choice or PC is better? I can't help you with the second one, but I will tell you why I bought PS5:
    1) You get to actually own the games that you play thanks to physical distribution, you can also trade them with other people or sell them if you don't need them anymore.
    2) While it doesn't have the same performance as PC, there are no PC that can match PS5 at the price point.
    3) The simplicity of pushing a button and playing the game, no need to update drivers, Windows(LMAO), it's just pure and instant fun.
    4) It's less chunky than your average PC, which means that I can carry it with me if I want to.
    5) The exclusives.
    >Every game on it is also on PC.
    Not every game.
    And even if every game was on PC, do you actually think that this is somehow invalidates the existence of PS5? People love Sony's exclusives, that's why they have been banging their heads on the wall for them to come out on PC, and with that said, you're painting their exclusives being available on PC as a negative point, but before they came to PC, people like you kept asking for them to come to PC to their dying breath, and there will be more, I can tell you that much, thanks to the extra revenue from PC chads, who also happened to be Xbox players, since Windows is owned by Microsoft.

    PC games are expensive as shit. I could go buy physical copies of games for $30 on Ebay that still sell at full price on Steam several years down the road. Don't have to be worried about updates and drivers and Steam eating away massive amounts of ram for no reason or be stuck to playing games on a 20 inches monitor on a desk with keyboard and mouse. PC is not and never will be the optimal way to play games.

      This. PC games are objectively more expensive than console games. It's proven.
      Steam also consumes all your RAM, forcing you to constantly download more.
      PCs are also limited to 20 inch 720p monitors. They simply don't support anything bigger.
      They also have no support for controllers, forcing you to use keyboard and mouse.

    First of all I own PS5, Switch and a gaming PC because I'm not poor and I just get the games on whichever plattform I find the game more suitable. Like shooter and strategy games always go on PC.

    I do prefer the PS5 for most games because just the community alone. Like for Monster Hunter as an example I prefer the console players way more than the tryhard min-max redditors on PC. Also I heard that Steam has some kind of region lock on Monster Hunter? I haven't touched it on PC in a while but on Switch I 80% of the players I get matched with a japanese and I wouldn't want to miss them.
    I really hope the next Monster Hunter gets crossplay ability so I can play with friends regardless of plattform but I would always toggle it off if its an option when I'm just playing with random people online.

    I bought a PS5 so I could use it as a bluray player and youtube player and so I could play PS4 exclusives because for some reason there's still games on it that aren't on PC or Switch
    >Valkyria Revolution
    >Sakura Wars 2019
    >Deception IV
    >Odin Sphere Leifthresir
    >Dragon's Crown
    >Gravity Rush
    >Gravity Rush 2
    >inFamous: Second Son
    >The Last Guardian
    >Shadow of the Colossus remake
    you may ask why I didn't get a PS4 instead
    the simple answer is I wanted to be futureproofed for any PS5 exclusives and also be able to run these games at their best
    fwiw I also on a PC, Steam Deck, and Switch

    Look you fricking stupid Black person I will explain this in a way you can understand.
    Consolegays buy consoles because gaming on a console is substantially simpler (also far more limited) than gaming on a PC. Consolegays are not constantly looking over their shoulders and wondering, "But is [x game I want to try] ONLY on this console?" I do not speak for all consolegays but I have two (PS5, Switch) and I really don't give a shit that PS5 has few exclusives. If the game is good, I'd be happy if more people found it, not less. I like the PS5 because it plays games well and the load times are stupid levels of fast compared to PS4. And it's $500, whereas most good gaming PCs are going to cost 6 times that.

          Bloodborne, Demon’s Souls, any of their slew of upcoming exclusives, anything put out by Asobi has no PC port, Rise of the Ronin also has no pc port announced

          Their current timeframe for pc ports is 3 years after console releases, and when they put it out they’ll still be $70 games where as the console versions will be discounted. And 3 years for PC hardware will mean that these games will likely require hardware upgrades for PC Users by then.

      I don't get this either. Exclusives would be a factor if you're looking for a console (Bloodborne, lots of Final Fantasy, etc is only on Playstation, Halo is only on Xbox/PC), but unless you're already a huge fan of one of those games, it's pretty immaterial. Bloodborne, Demon's Souls remake, and now FFXVI would be enough reasons for me to buy a PS5, if I didn't have one already, I'm not really interested in first-person shooters.

        Now though? Support for stuff like dualshock controllers is pretty much just as good as the native microsoft stuff. I feel like it's mostly people that haven't used a controller on their PC in 20 years.

        You fricktards I ain't taking about playing games with a controller. Of course you can do that and been doing that since the late 90s ever since I built my first PC. Back when you had a game port and had to screw in a controller.

        But I ain't taking bout that. I'm taking about navigating the OS with a controller. Even Steam OS is not perfect because whenever you need to go to Desktop mode using the on screen keyboard is a pain in the ass.

                SE were hurt by Forspoken. It was a massive failure that affected their financial report and led them to close down a studio.

                It doesn't matter at all. It's like Epic wasting millions on their pile of shit store. They're raking in so much from Fortnite that it's a blip.

                Tim sees it as an investment to compete with the top dog that's Steam. Windows has no competition, never had never will. The only competition windows 11 has is windows 10

                >the point is MS can own windows but they are still losing a lot of money in their gaming division
                But why does this matter to you, the player? This directly benefits you as a player. What you're saying is equivalent to complaining about Steam sales because Steam makes less money. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

                >But why does this matter to you, the player?
                the original point is that me playing on windows benefits MS. it doesn't. they have been losing money for 20 years in the Xbox division with nothing to show for it. it's not an investment it doesn't help windows against the competition. it does nothing.

Even if it had huge amount of exclusives, you would be crying and port-begging instead of buying it so nothing changes. If you have money and really want maximum fidelity then just go buy pc otherwise bragging about 1500-2000$ worth total pc is more powerful than 500$ console is moronic to say atleast.
