Console generation last somewhere between 5 to 8 years so it is fair to say that 3 years is a substantial amount in any console generation. Both PS5 and Xbox Series launched in November 2020 during the middle of the COVID pandemic and were initially hampered by supply chain issues.
What do you feel are the improvements these consoles and the games have made over those in the 8th generation?
Which games have been the standouts so far?
What are your disappointments with the generation so far?
Should the Nintendo Switch be considered to be a part of this generation despite its hybrid nature and relatively underpowered specs compared to PlayStation and Xbox?
Which trends seem to have emerged so far both in terms of games and game development/ publishers in the last few years?
3 years in and I still don’t care to get either of them. Honestly probably won’t at all this gen. Even the good looking stuff is going to come to PC eventually, and I have so much of a backlog that I’m content waiting a year or two.
I just don’t feel like there’s a reason to own any console over another, and certainly not over a PC this gen. I can get Halo, God of War, Horizon, Sea of Thieves, Ratchet, all on my PC. Delayed quite a bit, but that doesn’t really matter to me personally.
