It seems it’s not widely known. But the Xbox series X is hacked. The PS5 has been hacked for a while too. This is just gonna make the hacks a lot better.

I have a PS5 that I rarely turn on. Everything ends up on PC. PC handhelds better than a PS Portal. To phone streaming everything supports. Playing PC games on Android is a thing now. Switch handles party gaming. No replacing Mario party/kart/tennis/strikers/golf. Nintendo IP party games are OP
What I’m interested in are the insights the PS5 will give into PS4 architecture. PS5 is backwards compatible and seeing what the PS5 does to accommodate any problematic games in BC. PS4 emulation over 5 because 4 is well along. PS5 is deep in the no console exclusives era. Early PS4 still had semblance of third party exclusives and Japanese games skipping PC
I unplugged the PS5 Ethernet port just in case I ever want to do something in the future. I doubt it besides possibly future of running Linux on it. It’d make a great gaming PC someday as a gift. People always talk about exclusives as a reason for consoles. I play way more games on PC that aren’t available on consoles. Too old and abandoned. Too indie so it may not show up for years if ever on consoles.
Hopefully the Xbox series X gets jail broken someday too. They’d be great values for gaming PCs

We barely turned our PS5 on until about a year and a half ago, it was the Switch that was getting all our love. Now we have a Switch 2 we barely touch and the PS5 gets attention cause games are on sale (nobody bought it lol)
I do PC game, but I prefer console because there’s WAY less fiddling and tinkering due to hardware issues or shitty game ports. I was excited for the FFVII steam sale until I saw the reviews complaining about stuttering and performance issues. I prefer a painless, boot-it-up-and-play-immediately experience over modding capability.

nobody bought the ps5?
PlayStation 5 (PS5): ~84-86 million units (crossing 80M mark by late 2025).
Xbox Series X/S: ~34 million units (estimates vary, but well behind PS5).
Nintendo Switch (Original): ~154 million units (still selling well, nearing DS).
Nintendo Switch 2 (New): Starting sales with ~12.4 million units by late 2025 (estimated).
84 mil seems like a lot. PS games have always been discounted, contrary to Nintendo games
