You think that Sony server is going to give you those game patches 15 years from now?

Probably, considering that even with the closing of the PS3 store 20 years later, you will still be able to download and patch games you’ve already purchased. PS4 and PS5 will likely be backwards compatible on PS6 (for digital games only, of course), so will remain up for even longer since they’ll still be usable on current hardware.

But even if they’re went the Nintendo route where you only have a 15 year window or so, a tradeable license during that period is better than none at all. Still sucks ultimately, of course.

My prediction is that they will make plenty of money, but console gaming will shrink as it prices more and more people out.

If you’re on Linux, for Proton, and Steam Input for compatibility. There have been many games that won’t work with my PS5 controller unless I run them through Steam.

The point is, we don’t know how many people there are who would buy at that price point because it’s as yet untested. Most of the people with PS5s now got them when they were $500 or less. I’m genuinely interested to see how a console with a 4 digit starting price fares. It’s a given that the PS6 will sell out at launch even if it’s $2000; it’s what happens after the demand of the hardcore gamers with excessive disposable income is satiated that will be interesting to see.

No. You can insert any PS4 or PS5 disc into any PS5 with a disc drive and it will run the game. It might also require a download, but they’re not tied to specific accounts.

Protip, you can run pirated games through Steam as a non-Steam game as well!

Maybe there are plenty of people who will pay $1000+ for an all-digital walled garden console, but it’s kinda jumping the gun for them to assume they’ve got it on lock since it will be untested until next gen starts.

Discs have become more of a tradeable license than anything else, but that’s still far, far better than having no option at all.

$780 is not a “bit” more.

That’s one pointy chub!

The best part is when boomers can’t tell them apart. “Grandma died 😂”

I was curious what his shirt originally said that had everyone terrified. Turns out it was blank and it’s just the fact that he’s old.
