    I feel kind of burned by having bought into the PS4 Pro hype. It's a much louder system and the HDR/4k upgrade hasn't really been noticeable or felt worth it really. Required yearly PS+ subscriptions and constant (and slow) OS and game updates requiring me to wait before I play... I've been falling out of love with consoles and choosing the PC version of most games these days. I'm not sure what a PS5 could do to bring me back.

      I also got a PS4 pro, but it was the first PS4 I bought. There's really not much advantage over the regular pa4 except for in a couple of supported games. 60 fps did wonders for The Last of Us....

      I also got a PS4 pro, but it was the first PS4 I bought. There's really not much advantage over the regular pa4 except for in a couple of supported games. 60 fps did wonders for The Last of Us. But yeah consoles are essentially just becoming PC hardware in a fancy box with some exclusives. If the devs are going to eek every last flop of performance out of a platform, then having a console with common hardware makes sense. But if most of the games are just PC ports that run better on PCs with similar or better hardware, then the only thing propping up consoles will be exclusives. Will the exclusive games be enough to keep the brand alive for multiple more generations?

    Damn. Time is flying way too fast. First PlayStation console I've never gotten my hands on, and I'm way closer to the next generation coming out than when the current generation came out.
