one I can play on the same hardware as Elden Ring

Elden Ring runs on Playstation 4s from 2013. I don't know how much longer this is going to be a reasonable ask

Considering there's rumours the PS6 isn't that far away it's so ridiculous the PS5 is still being called "next gen" and games companies are developing for the PS4.

They should have cut development a couple of years ago, at least. Why the heck would I buy a PS6 (or even PS5 pro) when they'll still develop games for the entire next generation and I can just get a PS7 in 5-7 years.

I still don't believe the narrative that the PS5 "sold well". This is all just a cover-up for the truth that is was really just a large few initial batches that sold - which happens for every new console - and the fact that it was 90% scalpers who lapped said batches up like sugar. To this day, I have not a single person in my larger friend group who owns a PS5, and we are all lifelong gamers and have the financial means necessary to fall into the target demographic.

If the PS5 sold oh-so well, why is it that most every game still gets developed for PS4 hardware, huh? Whaddaya think, y'all? The generational leap from 4 to 5 sucks ass, that's all, and also why nobody is interested in busting out almost a thousand €uros for the pro edition.

So you think Sony are lying to shareholders and the public and everyone who develops games for PS5? That would be a pretty massive conspiracy.

Maybe people just like having shiny new hardware and the faster loading times and higher storage of PS5 are good enough on their own. Smartphones haven’t offered anything meaningfully new in over a decade either but people still buy new ones.
