Literally barely any games that can't be played on ps4 or Xbox one.

This ps5 almost feels like a waste of 500 bucks

Would be cool if we enter the eternal PC/PS4/Switch generation and never have to buy new hardware again. We've reached peak gaming.

To be real I expected the 8th gen to be long dead by now, but stuff continues to drop on old platforms. I think the Switch 2 will still be low-performance enough that PS4 ports will be viable.

The steam deck specs & form factor is honestly peak. I don't think anything will top it within the next decade, unless VR really takes off
