I’ll say that fewer console exclusives is for the better.
Maybe my issue is just how console gaming has changed, and how all 3 companies have screwed consumers.
If I buy Stray on PS5, will I still be able to play it 10 years from now? 20 years from now? Will the PS6 and 7 be able to play PS5 games? Does it matter if I have the physical or digital version? Am I going to be able to rip and emulate PS5 games on a PC at any point? Once my PS3 dies, I lose my digital games and at the mercy of the emulation community to play my physical games. Once my 3DS dies… It’s all gone, and piracy will be the only way to play the games I paid for.
I already bought Stray on Steam. It’s not a guarantee, but I like my odds better there.
I bought my PS5 expecting that there would be some great exclusives there eventually, and that even the ones with PC versions would be better on PS5 (at least at launch and while I’m still rocking an RX580). But all Naughty Dog has done is remakes so far. I love Insomniac, but I’m not a Marvel fan and I miss their more creative work.
The biggest use I’ve gotten from the PS5 has been using the DualSense in PS4 games because I don’t like the DS4.
