What reasons are there to buy a PS5?

[Hayato213]

I've been thinking about buying a PS5, but the fact it has no games I'm interested it just made that pointless and I'm honestly pretty happy with PS4 so it seems like a waste of money.

If it has no games you want to play then it is obviously not worth of you spending $550+ on one.

I'll probably wait for the PS5 Pro to come out and see if it's worth picking up. Hopefully, it'll be possible to run backups on it at some point in the future (already subscribed to the PS5 Exploit thread so that I'm somwhat familiar with its hacking scene).

Honestly, if you already have ps4 OR good pc, I see no reason for ps5 at the moment.

I was thinking between upgrading my PC rig (I currently have laptop with gtx 1060 that could really use upgrade) or buying PS5, but due to fact that I have never owned ps4, and I got new 4K Oled TV Im leaning towards PS5 slim, as I want to play on new TV and I can enjoy ps4 games at higher resolution (even though most of them are available on PC I just want to play on tv in living room and moving entire desktop each time I want to play is too clunky).

so even though I am considering buying PS5, I would not consider it if I had good PC or ps4.

The only reason, AND I MEAN IT, I'd like to have a PS5 is literally just Gran Turismo 7. But obviously I won't buy s high priced console just to play one single game (like, i could buy a Steam Deck instead).

And not only that, I heard that the GT7 might coming to PC this year, according to the leaker who said early this year that Ghost of Tsushima would come to PC, is if that proves to be true then I LITERALLY won't ever buy a proper PS5, because... to be honest... i want that my future in gaming be only PC and handhelds in general (be it a Switch or proper emulation devices from China)

Build a gaming PC and you have access to all console games now, except the Demon's Souls remake. If you already have a gaming PC, just spend the money on an upgrade or two.

^This. 'Nuff said!

I bought it to play PlayStation®5 games. I have both the OG and Slim.

I don't play PC games, so the PS5 works well for me. If you're on PC, though, you should just save your money.

Even the exclusives are boring IMO. I just like playing PS4 games at NOT 20fps.

I completed Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition on PS4 and I loved the story and gameplay, but after playing it to death I noticed that it felt slow and that's because it's locked to 30fps or something.

I'll probably buy a PS5 to play DBZ Tenkaichi 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 "Next Gen Update" (if it ever gets released). I'm not a big PC gaming fan.

you must be joking pc parts are as expensive as ever. you have no idea what i've spent so far on my latest build! it's took me 5 years and it's in the 4 figure range fucking video card alone took HALF the budget!!

I wasn't talking about third world countries like australia

Seriously though, PS5 is last gen in PC hardware terms. It's similar to a Ryzen 5600 with a Radeon 6700. Aliexpress sells 5600's for £80 and I can't even find new 6700's for sale anymore but used ones are around £250. Again, it depends on individual countries, but it's not far off here.
