Dre801 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I hope to own one some day. I had no issues getting a PS4 or Xbox One at retail shortly after launch, but these new ones? Jesus Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve got the money and the gumption, what’s the difference between now and in two years or so? Won’t be a price drop on the thing. You can certainly argue early adopters are beta testing it, but again if you had always planned to get one not much is gonna change if you want the first version of it eventually. Plus it really does run old games really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 My PS5 is collecting so much dust I'm actually kind of legit worried it'll suffer some heat damage once it finally gets some more use. That's not necessarily a knock against the system (although I do rarely play it) so much as a complain about this damn AC unit in my windows that legit piles up dust so fast that I have to dust/sweep my gaming area daily because so much piles up so quickly. I never really noticed until I got a white PC case and this white PS5. Now it's like... whoa, gross. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The PS4 Pro was 3 years after launch, but as it was basically a first-ever mid-cycle refresh, the timing could be longer or shorter this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I guess the argument could be made with the pandemic slowing down development there’s a chance it’s pretty barren the next few years and by the time the library is fleshed out they might actually be close to an upgrade.

XxEvil AshxX Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 How many of those PS5's are sitting in scalper warehouses though. I mean, I know to Sony it doesn't matter, a console sold is a console sold, but scarcity drives demand, and I can't help but wonder if the sales would be slower if the restocks were more frequent and people weren't basically playing the lottery every time. I think under normal circumstances we'd be seeing PS5's and Series X's sitting on shelves pretty regularly by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna lie, this mindset reminds me of faulty message board logic about the Wii at this point in its lifecycle. Going by history, you probably shouldn’t be begging questions about artificial demand. Instead, ask how much sales will boom when scalpers start losing. Scalpers aren’t the driving force for demand for these consoles. Production isn’t either. They haven’t been for any console by Sony/Nintendo/MS ever. These things aren’t Bennie Babies.

Scalpers aren’t the driving force for demand for these consoles. Production isn’t either. Similar logic was employed for the PlayStation 4 around here as well. I feel like more than half the board was convinced it was just pent-up demand for a new console and the sales would lag considerably soon, and It ended up outpacing the PlayStation 2 or at least running neck and neck with it.

I don’t care about the crashes from resume play or even when the PS5 randomly ejects the game disc. The buzzing is a million times worse than the PS4 vacuum cleaner noise.

My nitpicks are how friggin big this thing is. And in terms of design, it’s about the ugliest...no, definitely the ugliest console Sony has ever produced. And the storage is OMG laughable I’ll probably be very quick to jump on a redesigned model when they release one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From either the retailer you got it from or Sony themselves. There’s no reason you have to put up with a defective unit when it’s under warranty. You spent hundreds of dollars on that machine, you’re entitled to one that works. Keep complaining to customer service (respectfully) until they agree to replace it.
