I disagree. The other platforms built their walls secure enough that they don't bother. Nintendo is aggressively defending a low fence. Most Nintendo cartridges will function a decade from now. Many discs for other consoles don't even have the full game on it... and many can't function without connecting to a service. I'd prefer the system that is possible to preserve (but gets aggressive with monetization) then the one that's impossible to preserve. Points to xbox for doing well with backwards compatibility and carrying libraries forward. But that could change in future.

> The other platforms built their walls secure enough that they don't bother. The other platforms have also way less exclusives. The PS5 has a grand total of 12 exclusive games listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:PlayStation_5-only_games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:PlayStation_5-only_ga... . Why even bother?

  The problem with this list is a lot of the non-exclusive games are because they're on the PS4 as well – what proportion of games are non-exclusive to the playstation world? For example for PS4 only games there's a decent amount more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:PlayStation_4-only_games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:PlayStation_4-only_ga...

  Most of those are either remakes of older games, VR games, games that haven't been released yet, or games with poor ratings. The only real title there worth buying today would be Spider-Man 2. I'm pretty disappointed in the PS5's library but for someone who never had a PS4 the PS5 is absolutely worth it. Maybe by the time they get through the backlog of good PS4 games there will be something worth playing on the PS5

  A lot of games are only on PS5 and Xbox S/X, not available on PC or other platforms. So if it's exclusive only to other securely walled gardens, they still don't need to bother.
