Is the ps5 the worst console ever made?
Is the ps5 the worst console ever made?
It isn't the Jaguar or CD-I.
That's not the Xbox Series whatever
In recent memory, yes. It has a singular game, Bing Bing Wahoo:Snoy Memberberry Edition.
no games
stupid design
Maybe.
Then again, Xbox suffers from the same problems too.
That award goes to Nintendo Switch
that's not the sega saturn
It could be but it actually isn't the only console of its generation
ugly as heck
no games
only one usb port on front, all FG tourneys forced to use the back side
To be fair, the CD-i wasn't made for gaming. It was made for all the other videos and digital "books" they made.
The switch has games while the ps5 doesn't so that's not possible
Be Sony
Buy out EVO
Force all games to be on PS5
Make the USB ports so shitty the console melts anything you connect to them
Ruin EVO Japan during several finals
Bravo.
I don't think so, it just lacks good exclusives
series x is definitely way better than the ps5. you could make the argument for the series s too. et me just say this, both those consoles can play far more playstation games than a ps5 can and ever will.
No, the Apple Pippin is the worst console ever made. They learned from their mistakes though as the Apple TV 4K is the best console currently available.
Best to worst
PS1
PS2
PS4
PS3
PS5
True, followed the Wii U and the series potato.
What PC do you have anon?
I definitely play my series x more than my ps5. Backwards compatibility is better, I like Xbox controller better and the series x is quiet while the ps5 is loud. Only reason I got a ps5 was for bloodborne, helldivers 2 and ghost of Tsushima. Plus I got the slim ps5 for $200
The PS4 is complete shit compared to the PS3.
It had problems like it was incredibly loud but in terms of first party that was Sony's best ever
It started the complete cancer of buying "Pro" versions of the same console, has a dedicated social media button, no disc-based backwards compatibility, etc.
of this gen? yes

So not only do you ADHD brainrot autistic fucks don't pay attention to school and learn human history, you refuse to even know the history of your own hobby.
You're so fucking stupid.
no games lol
Here's your "Worst Post Award."
It has plenty of games, you're just picky and refuse to expand your interests.
That's not their fault. That's a you problem.
Want to talk about no games? ask the Stadia what they have, oh wait, they can't even play anything. Even the fucking Ouya can atleast play SOMETHINGS.
But no, by all means, continue your obvious thinly veiled attempts to act like this isn't just Sony bashing as usual.
I'm not wrong though.
If you casuals knew a damn thing about this hobby there are ACTUALLY BAD CONSOLES that failed horribly.
But instead you sit here and only pay attention what's on stage. Not what has happened before your time, not during your time.
You're just a Microsoft cock sucker.
Console war nonsense as usual.
Look at the posts you replied to dummy, several of them name those consoles. You're so buttblasted that someone talked bad about Snoy that you forgot how to read?
Not a single post has mentioned stadia nor Ouya
You collosal obnoxious manchild.
no games lol
Well apparently what you play doesn't have any either since you're here.
There are other actually bad consoles that failed miserably. I changed my mind though PS5 is obviously the worst because only illiterate retards like it.
What a console with no games does to a mf
It's a good console that is getting GTAVI.
Replies like children after being called out
Imagine my shock
"Grown men" acting like children.
no games lol
no games that I want
FTFY
no games lol
Doesn't count, Eric
It does though, you can keep using the meme all you want kid.
Yes, the modern console is always the worstest console ever
It counts for the year it gets it before PC.
no games lmao
You didn't call out anything but your own inability to read. Pippin and CD-I are both worse than Stadia and Ouya. The Pippin cost $1200 adjusted for inflation. Go play a PS5 game- oh wait, nevermind.
Nope, still no games.
Imagine being a fanboy of a console worse than the Xbox.
Pippin and CD-I are both worse than Stadia and Ouya
Stadia and Ouya are literal paper weights now.
So no, you're wrong.
i've had this conversation a few times with a few people and literally not a single one of them could tell me why ps5 is a good console vs either it's predecessors (e.g. ps4) or even against it's competition (xbox, switch). the argument usually boils down to "well it's a console that plays games, there's nothing really special about it". but they all end up agreeing that previous gen sony consoles offered more, for less (with the exception of the early ps3 days) and xbox is a better overall console but completely lacks any marketing presence.
mfw i wasn't stupid enough to buy a nogaems5
This doesn't even make sense. We buy new version of consoles to play newer things.
If it's able to play things that other previous consoles have, that's a bonus and a better incentive to get the more updated one.
no argument, just namecalling and fallacies
I accept your concession.
Ouya isn't a paperweight and Stadia isn't a console.
PS1: plays PS1 games
PS2: plays PS1 and PS2 games
PS3: plays PS1, PS2, and PS3 games
PS3 Slim: plays PS1 and PS3 games
PS4: plays PS4 games
PS5: plays PS4 and PS5 games
PS5 Pro: plays PS4 and PS5 games really well, but won't work in the future because you have to authenticate your fucking disc drive on the internet
Never said it was the best but it certainly isn't the worst
What's there to argue?
Stadia and Ouya are two examples right off the bat.
N-Gage? Virtual Boy? N64 sales were horrible and most sales was mainly from the west. Dreamcast failed so hard it caused their company to go third party to their competitors.
Smartphone games are literally dominating the gaming scene on the east side of the world. Consoles and PC gaming is not as popular as it is in the west these days.
What do you think Stadia is then?
Ouya isn't a paperweight
It is though, there's no server support, it relied on that.
Stadia wasn't a console dumbfuck.
the point is, that's how they rip you off. sony this gen did the absolute bare minimum to make an attractive console. game releases are few and far between compared to previous gens, they sell you on "next gen upgrades" which cost $10 and are sometimes worse than the previous gen, 60 fps in some games, etc etc. it's basically a case of you have to buy to play these new games because that just happens to be the way things are. but in terms of the overall product, it's a less attractive proposition with less games and higher costs. pc doesn't have this problem because games aren't hardware dependent most of the time. where's it is with consoles.
whereas*
No one is forcing you to upgrade the games though. That's completely optional.
Ouya hardware still has some functionality. Stadia was a cloud service it had nothing even resembling a console.
I mean if you dig up every console ever made, sure.
But I was talking more about from the "big 3" of the console market.
Ouya hardware still has some functionality
How there is no server. What could you do with an Ouya in 2025?
Okay then, let's talk about it.
notebookcheck.net
Thoughts?
Hack it and play more games than I can on PS5.
Is it even possible to mod an ouya?
on pc if you buy better hardware, you gain access to higher framerates and/or better visuals. on consoles (at least with sony games) you need to buy an upgrade pack for these features. some non-sony devs offer it free e.g. cdpr made witcher 3 next gen edition free to people who owned the base game and dlc, but sony doesn't do that.
to put it simply, you're only buying the next gen console because you have to. there aren't any major reasons to do so otherwise, like there isn't a steady flow of blockbuster exclusives or crazy new features (e.g. ps3 having a blu ray disk and a fleshed out online gaming network vs ps2, while also being able to play ps2 games anyway). that's why 50% of playstation users are still on ps4, because a few games still get ps4 releases all these years later like cod or fifa.
PS5 shipments reach 77.8 million units, software and network services surge in FY2024
is Anon Babble the most delusional board ever?
It's selling worse than the PS4 lil bro
It's full of underage, autism, manchildren and all the above.
So yes.
Damn I didn't know that many people needed extended phone charger ports
PS4 has existed since 2013 anon. No shit.
Old good, new bad.
No, it's selling worse than the PS4 launch aligned. Despite having way more mindshare and being way more popular on social media than PS4 ever was.
tell that to weekly jap sales
People don't care about the stuff you're rambling on about.
Some people just want to sit down and play a game. It's like those people who want sports car. I don't see the point getting one.
This whole gen has been the worst ive ever seen.
Sony and Microsoft have no games and Nintendo's hardware is 2 gens behind everyone else
except in your example the ps5 would be the sports car. most people don't want to change what they already have and only change if they're forced to. it's like if your local government told you that your old car isn't allowed to drive down certain roads unless you bought this new sports car. that's what a ps5 is in this context.
except in your example the ps5 would be the sports car
No, PC would be the sports car. That's why people like you won't shut the fuck up about specs, flashing LED lights, what drivers you have installed etc.
It's utterly obnoxious.
Is the Concordbox the worst-
Yes.
no, you'd have to be an underage TORtanic shitposter to think so. it's competent at playing any multiplat, and it's the best way to play some niche jap games that came out on PS4/PS5 but not PC.
but for a lot of such jap games, emulating the switch version is about as good, and once we have good PS4 emulation (being able to barely play bloodborne with a bunch of hacks is not this) it will be totally irrelevant.
what? you don't need to upgrade your pc to play new games. to play them at playable framerates and settings if it's old as shit, sure, but still most games run fine on older hardware even next gen games. you're literally forced to upgrade your console to play newer games when the game quality and cost don't justify it e.g. jedi survivor was next gen only till it got a backport to last gen a few months after launch. shows this "next gen only" shit is mostly bullshit. ps5 is sold on that premise. it's not sold on attractive features, value or exclusives.
the Apple TV 4K is the best console currently available
the number of worthwhile apple arcade games can be counted on your hands, and you can pirate most of them on a decade old trash picked x86 mac.
it also looks like the apple TV can't run the new moneyhatted AAA ports for ARM macs like death stranding which is too bad. outclassed by a 2013 PS4.
PC would be the sports car.
not your PC though
you don't need to upgrade your pc to play new games
.....
Well no, I don't have a PC. I prefer laptops. I haven't had a PC since 2004.Which was for the family
so did you actually buy dev mode and use it? people gushed about app store emulators the whole time you could use them without dev mode, and then once microsoft cracked down on it, i haven't heard a peep about them. seems like no one wants to pay the ~$20 for dev mode and have to switch back and forth.
shit nobody cares about enthusiast
I love the PS5, ever since I got it I don't game on my PC anymore. I realized PC gaming is overrated trash by losers. Nothing beats the convenience and plug and play of consoles.
is Anon Babble the most delusional board ever?
Anon Babble is full of angry, delusional ass mad PC fats that are butt hurt a 400 dollar Sony console has comparable or even better performance than their shitty PC's
I laugh at retards like OP and the coping shitters in this thread and move on
You must have not lived in the 90's.
So a console is better than your PC
It's not even the worst console of its gen
Correct
Sony
No games. Most expensive game prices and subscription prices.
Xbox
Fuck ton of games, but none are exclusive. Probably the cheapest way to play. But also the worst way to play MS games.
Nintendo
Shit hardware. game prices are middle of the road but never go on sale. Weak handheld performance
yes correct. you don't *need* to. if you're some poorfag who built a pc in 2015 or something with a gtx 1060 and whatever, you can still play the latest games. the blockbuster AAA games will probably run like shit but you still can. you don't need the latest 50 series nvidia card to play them unlike with the console gens.
This is completely wrong.
3rd party games play both on Xbox and PS.
PS has cheaper subscription offers than game pass does. Playstation Plus Premium for a month is $18 whole Gamepass Ultimate is $20
how can you say xbox has a ton of games but no exclusives but ps also has those ton of games yet claim they have none?
You make no god damn sense.
Yeah Xbox sucks too, but that doesn't make the playstation better.
it does by that very logic.
I'll just stick to my consoles.
its right now the best conosle of the current generation xbox fucked itself with s and nintendo is completely retarded
I pay for GamePass PC and it costs £20-30 for 3 months from CDKeys. Basically a tenner a month at most. So it can be found for cheaper than PS+ but also has way, way, wayyy better game selection in both the legacy library and monthly. I had a PS5 before I sold it and used the money to invest in a PC.
I was talking about 1st party games. Xbox makes a ton of games but none are exclusive. Sony has barely released anything this gen.
I pay for GamePass PC and it costs £20-30 for 3 months from CDKeys
You're just bypassing the actual retail value and using that to justify the cost.
The actual retail price they're asking for is $20 a month for the Ultimate.
Don't blame me for Sony not allowing 3rd party reselling of codes and subs. They're even being sued for that here in Europe. Meanwhile Steam, Xbox and Nintendo all offer 3rd party key reselling. Where there's competition outside a closed garden, there'll be lower prices. Your cope about the pricing doesn't change the fact about the pricing. That's like arguing that a physical game is "bypassing the actual retail value" when it's sold for cheaper than the digital version. So stupid.
Again, you're justifying the price by bypassing things.
That's not what the conversation was about and I don't think Microsoft does approve of CDKeys doing that because they're trying to get more money than what CDKeys is asking from their customers.
Way to miss the point dipshit.
It does make Playstation better. It IS better. Keep crying you ass mad PC fat. You deserve a bullet in your head
Are you retarded? It's an official Xbox policy for allowing key reselling. Same with Steam. They both offer the option to redeem 3rd party keys on their store. Same for Nintendo with some digital games. Sony does not are being sued. You say I'm missing the point? Did you wake up and hit your head on the bed frame this morning? Holy shit you can't be this retarded. Either you're this retarded, or you've genuinely never experienced another non-Sony platform in your life because key reselling is standard as fuck hence why sites like CDKeys, G2A and such even exist.
pushsquare.com
Take it easy there Columbine.
The console is great, the problem is literally the rest of the game industry not making enough good games for it to make it worthwhile.
If it didn't existed, the Xbox would be exactly the same shit.
So no, it is not the worst console, just the worst game industry ever made.
In the last 2-3 years the asshurt about PC on this board has reached apocalyptic proportions. Console niggers are no longer ironically mindbroken they’re actually mind broken by the presence of the PC lmao, in their mind it would be a “good” thing if everyone sold their PCs and bought consoles and rebought their entire library on a locked down console platform, uh, just because I guess. Legitimate meltdowns from poorly adjusted individuals it’s hilarious.
We've got to a point where Sony fans legitimately think that buying a game or sub on a deal for less than RRP is cheating. Just look a few posts above yours. These are the same people who defended $70 games btw because paying more apparently defines quality. Now they're chimping out about Nintendo prices and how their Switch 2 prices are anti-consumer. It's not console players, it's solely PlayStation players. That's the only fanbase who genuinely hate PC with a passion.
No, Microsoft can't legally stop CDKeys.
Because what you fail to realize is YOU are being scammed by CDKeys because YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET IT CHEAPER.
FREE EVEN.
The way the sellers do is by using Bing Rewards.
Here is a pic of some of the options, you can see on the first one the bar being mostly filled. That's my current points. I can almost redeem it myself.
If i redeem it, I get a code. I can then use the code and go to CDKeys with it and get actual money from people like you.
This is nonsense, Playstation is doing better than Xbox and with Nintendo's "big plans" and Microsoft followed suite, it's not looking good for neither company.
Sony has been rather quiet about things unless news dropped recently I'm not aware of.
NOOOOOOOOOO SAAAAAAAAAAAR DO NOT REDEEM THE BING REWARD
you have to authenticate your fucking disc drive on the internet
Wat??? Why??
I'm not, I use my rewards on Amazon gift cards
They can legally stop them if they wanted, which is what Sony does now but stopping the distribution of PS Store digital keys. MS and Steam allow you to. And BING rewards isn't the same thing. It's not sustainable to generate millions of codes for the demand they get on their site by using BING which has a cap per week and per month.
Ignores everything I just said
Jesus christ why the fuck do I even bother trying to reason with you retards.
By what metric is Sony doing better than anyone? They said themselves yesterday that sell-in (hardware sales) no longer matters and that MAU and engagement is the name of the game. They make less revenue than Xbox, have sold less consoles than Nintendo, they make less profit than Nintendo, and also announced they're going to have to raise prices due to tariffs.
Anon I just checked CDKey YOU CAN Buy PSN cards you stupid fucking almost extinct Euro moron.
Can i see proof of these claims? i'd like to see this data for future use.
absolutely seething, mentally ill PC retards screeching into the void because the PS5 is thriving while they cope on life support rigs and cry about frame times. Console players are too busy enjoying actual games while you greasy, neckbearded freaks write schizophrenic essays and spout memes This thread is nothing but an echo chamber for basement-dwelling nerds who can’t handle the fact that sony won again. keep malding, you pathetic, delusional pc fatties.
Lmao, the slants really hate the Xbox don't they
Learn to read dumbass
But the main issue is that Sony doesn’t allow third-party retailers to sell digital game codes, eliminating competition entirely. While you can purchase PS Store credit from various stores, it’s not possible to buy full digital download codes for specific titles, eliminating competition entirely.
pushsquare.com
And CDKeys doesn't have PS+ Extra or Premium unless it's a rare 2 year sub that came with one of the console bundles here in in Europe, because they don't exist as key codes. PS+ (basic) cards still exist but that's not the same as Gamepass Ultimate. Why are you defending Sony being cancerous?
And CDKeys doesn't have PS+ Extra or Premium
Holy shit you're dumb.
Anon, you buy the gift cards and use that to buy the sub service. You can even see the yellow plus sign on the bottom of the gift cards.
Jesus christ, you're a moron....
buy new gpu
have to pay to unlock the graphics and framerate from 30 to 60 (if allowed, otherwise stuck at 900p 30 or streamed like ps3 gen games)
have to pay to go online
console cucks are fucked
It's a much improved PS4, but a terrible "next-gen" offering. Worst ever? That's probably the Wii-U. Or any XBox ever. Or the 3DO if you're nasty.
why would nips support a whitoid gaijin machine when two video game giants (sony and nintendo) are from their country?
Because Killer Instinct.
Why do snoys pay twice for their internet?
Because real adults know $20 ain't shit.
Because real OG arcade rats know $20 ain't shit.
sony
playstation is a californian company now, hence why they make nothing but woke slop movies and live service shooters
They said themselves yesterday that sell-in (hardware sales) no longer matters and that MAU and engagement is the name of the game
x.com
They make less revenue than Xbox
last quarter:
Xbox: ~U$5.39B
Playstation: ~U$5.23B
PS has more hardware, but xbox makes more games (on playstation too).
have sold less consoles than Nintendo,
doesn't need an explanation
they make less profit than Nintendo
gameworldobserver.com
and also announced they're going to have to raise prices due to tariffs.
That doesn’t give a justification for it at all, sounds like coping actually.
It's not though because to me, the amount of games i have access to and the perks they give me justify the $20.
$20 is the highest tier by the way. I could go cheaper, but I want the premium options.
You can do the same on other platforms which offer gift cards. The point being, you still have to pay the same for the sub via Sony's own store. You don't need to with other platforms as the sub is purchasable directly from key sellers, and games too.
The point being, you still have to pay the same for the sub via Sony's own store.
No, CDKey, in my country, if I wanted Premium I save $1 by buying two $10 giftcards that currently has a -5% from the retail price.
Also playstation rewards is also a thing that also offers giftcards by making purchases through the playstation store on your account and completing certain tasks they want you to do.
The PS5 only has 2 games. Demons Souls, and Astrobot.
I dare you name more.
FF7 Rebirth is exclusive
Stellar Blade director confirmed it's never going to be on PC
There I just gave you 2 more.
Nah. Not the worst. Not great though. It proves brand loyalty is strong within the Sony fanbase when Microsoft released an overall better console yet Sony fans bought the inferior console in droves. I got the ps5 Astrobot bundle for like $250 because I had some in store credit. It’s alright. I’d rate the ps5 a c+ and the series x a b+ rating. Console is more fun for multiplayer games imo. Pc has too many hackers
Rebirth has been on PC for months. It was only PS5 exclusive for a year.
I have both the XSX and PS5, the Xbox controller is better and the quick resume thing is really good. In general the system interface is much better on Xbox.
Plus backwards compatibility. So many games are unplayable on ps5. My Xbox plays 90% of the 360 games I own. And yes. The controller is better both in ergonomics and quality
It's the fucking hottest console ever made holy shit, the thing heats up so much it kept me warm during the winter and now I can only play games on it for an hour before my room starts warping from how hot it gets
prove it
Are you a fucking retard?
Yes, I forgot about BC. I've played a ton of OG Xbox and 360 games on my XSX over the years.
I also have both. I like how the Xbox differentiates media apps from games. So for example I have HDR turned off for gaming because it makes my TV darker for some reason, but I have Dolby Vision enabled so when I go into Netflix it automatically uses Dolby Vision which looks good on my TV unlike normal HDR. Also it allows for motion smoothing when watching YT/Netflix whereas on PS5 it runs these apps in game mode so you get the 24 fps judder which is annoying, to my eyes at least.
the one cuckbox owner on Anon Babble is now triple samefagging
where does it say it can be bought on pc? you took a screenshot of some random app and this is your proof?
Good features too. I also forgot to mention how so many retro games (ps2/ps3) seem to be locked to a certain volume and I can’t turn them down. I like to run Spotify in the background and listen to podcasts sometimes while I play games on ps5 and Xbox. For whatever reason I can’t adjust most retro games on ps5 but on xbox I don’t have this problem
All consoles are cuckboxes
Hmmm?!
Doesn't say PC there
literally says playstation in the screenshot
are you stupid?
“Cuckbox”
Most console owner adults are in relationships with adult, human women. Pcfags rub their dicks alone
?! Ok retard. -1 snoy exclusive
PC isn't a console
nah the controller is really good. You would have to go back to the 80s to find a console worse than this tho.
