Was the the worst generation yet? There were no exclusives for any of the consoles.

Yeah, if you're PS5 or Xbox Series owner, Switch and PC players are eating good

The snitch is emulable on PC, no need for that toy

Switch has no exclusives althoughbeit. I can play all of its games on my macbook

You don't need an expensive desktop PC for Switch games when they can be emulated on potato laptops from 10 years ago and MacBooks

There is no reason for a the shitch' existence

A console version of a game still exists and "counts" even if a PC version does too.
Most PS5 and Series X games can run at a stable 60fps, and the SSDs being standard means shorter loading times etc, and they have proper backward compatibility with the last gen and free enhancements for many last-gen games. In these regards the current gen is a clear improvement over previous ones

No one gives a shit about exclusives anymore.

>>714643041
Oh and the lower-spec Series S, while arguably holding back the bigger machines and making development more difficult, had a positive side effect of forcing current-gen multiplats to be more scalable so that handheld PCs can more easily run them

Why would I need a PS5 or Xbox Series when the Steam Deck exist, why should I care about their PC/PC-like consoles in 2027 and 2028 respectively when the Steam Deck 2 will be out in early 2028? Why should I care about them when even the Switch 2 will get their games with the only reason they're not there yet is because Nintendo haven't given their dev kits to them yet?

>>714641026
This is the worst time to be a PC gamer since early gen 7, awful ports and prices for everything are through the roof.

PS2 Emotion Engine and PS3 CELL were nightmares for programmers. the only people who actually got to use it to its full potential were Naughty Dog. People also forget that the reason Sony was so insistent on pushing their custom in the PS2 and PS3 was because they had plans to license out the Emotion Engine and Cell technology for other uses beyond video game consoles.

Kutaragi wanted the PS3 to ship with 1 cell as a cpu and 1 cell as a gpu. Mark Cerny is fucking insane for STILL having only himself know exactly how the PS3 worked and never sharing it with anyone aside from those secret CELL developers at Sony.

They were either falling behind in development, or realized that this was utter fucking stupidity, so they went plan B and asked Nvidia to give PS3's GeForce 7800 was also kind of old, being a pre-unified shaders design that was absolutely obsoleted within a year of the console's release by the 8800, bolted it on, and shipped it. PS3- 1 Core Cell PPC / 6SPE with 7800GT graphics

Mark Cerny wanted PS4, PS5, PS6 and PS7 to be AMD APUs because it was cheapest and easiest for programmers. any optimizations done for PS4 will just help PC get further ahead. ps4 and ps5 are both x86-64

>He points to an amusing video by Linus Tech Tips, which attempted to 'kill' the PlayStation 5 by building a $500 gaming PC that outperformed the console

>"They had to get a used motherboard," he says. "That was the only way that they could build a PlayStation 5 equivalent for a PlayStation 5 price. And if you're using used parts… well you can get a used PlayStation 5 for eBay for $300-something

FX-8350 @2GHz, a HD 7850 and a 5000 RPM hard drive are roughly equivalent to a PS4.

Ryzen 7 3700X and an RX5700 which are roughly equivalent to a PS5. Sony has the Tempest audio engine and the Kraken compression blocks. PS5 SSD read speed 5,558MB.

>TLDR
ps2 emotion engine and ps3 cell are japanese soul

ps4, ps5 and ps6 are basically budget AMD PCs

Owning an Xbox, PS4, PS5 or Steam Deck makes you a PC gamer basically

>>714646618
PS4 and Xbox One killed home consoles, god damn, I'm glad Nintendo chose ARM64 through Nvidia. You were smart if you invested in a Switch and Steam Deck.

>>714640839 (OP)
exclusives are anti-consumer

>>714646706
Cope

>>714646719
If you have a Steam Deck, there's no reason to own an Xbox or PlayStation, you'll get their games plus more.

>>714646809
no exclusives is communism

I don't think you're understanding anon

He is saying that they basically are just AMD PCs with a different UI

>bought series x when gen launched
>its okay, nothing special but got the job done for the games I wanted to play and the multiplayer stuff with friends
>controller is amazing, I still use it on my pc
>bought ps5 shortly after
>basically the xbox but with less features, louder and bigger
>don't really have many reasons to use it but too lazy to sell
>upgraded my pc on a budget last year
>plays everything I'd ever want, at the best quality/framerate I could ever want it to be

Honestly the consoles are pretty much useless if you have a pc. I'm too lazy to sell the ps5 but I'd keep the xbox for gta 6.

>PS4 and Xbox One killed home consoles, god damn, I'm glad Nintendo chose ARM64 through Nvidia.

Xbox was always basically just PC hardware.

PS3 was negative income for Sony so they switched to AMD PC hardware

>>714646986
Xbox 360 was PowerPC

PS3 was such a complete flop that Sony hired Mark Cerny to make AMD PCs

PS4 and PS5 are a fully locked down x86_64 device, it doesn't even have UEFI and uses sony's proprietary bootloader

Sony & AMD collaborated on developing the FSR4 that's going to be patched into the PS5 Pro in the future.
Whether Sony will continue using FSR4 for the PS6 or move on to FSR5/PSSR2 is uncertain.

>>714646618
>you can get a used playstation
Yeah but it is faster? Oh it's not? AHAHAHAHA FAGGOT

>>714646943
I do, only one of those PCs are open and has more games.

>>714646972
I’m satisfied with my series x and ps5. If I knew I’d stick with it, I would have gotten a good pc instead, but I never feel like I’m missing out.

>>714640839 (OP)
Yes. Never had its big price drop. It was tradition to hold out until the first big price drop. Never happened. And honestly never really wanted it. It was during the first ps5 showcase I decided to build a pc. Since they had zero psvr mention, so it was obvious they were gonna abandon it. And by then VR fps already replaced flat fps since there's no going back from that and that's pretty much what I exclusively played.

The only place real vr happens is through pcvr mods like uevr. Everything below this feels 2 gens old. Even when theyre games from the early 2000s modded into vr.

>>714646536
No it's not. Only for the high end games which are basically non existent. A 1080 still handles 90% of the what's available. Even in VR. Plus all the older games are dirt cheap. Woulda cost me thousands on a console for the same library.
