They recently announced that PS5 is entering it's twilight phase. Sold better than series X but apparently not well enough. We're still getting new games released for both ps4 and ps5, and the value added on the latter appears marginal.

I only own a switch but if I had to buy a console right now I would buy a second hand ps4 over a ps5 and max out its internal storage. Much cheaper and huge list of games, many available for very cheap on the second hand market.

  Can't the PS5 run any PS4 game?

    Virtually all PS4 games. There are currently 6* PS4 only titles, none of which are especially noteworthy. *https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/support/games/ps5-backward-compatibility-games/#only https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/support/games/ps5-backward...

      There are other titles that are, at least last I checked, essentially unplayable on PS5. Namely, Senran Kagura: Estival Versus. Graphics are glitchy enough it's not worth the trouble. Which is a SHAME, because it was my favorite guilty pleasure on the PS4

  What’s the price difference? $100? I’ve seen used ps5s sell for 250-300 in my area. I got a PS5 last year (my first non portable console since the N64) and what I was expecting was the old feeling of playing with friends on a big tv. The only game I enjoy doing that in is FIFA/FC24. Unfortunately my gf is not into it. Other than that… not a lot to choose from. I ended up building a PC and now I’m considering selling the ps5. What’s the point of having this in the living room if I can only play alone? The games are basically the same now. Pc has more games, especially indie, I can also use the pc for other things, and I don’t have to hoard the living room for my individualistic activities. Also shooters with a controllers is just frustrating when you’ve played with a mouse.

    Last time I checked they were more like 400€ but maybe it has changed. I haven't looked at it in recent months.
