Exclusives used to be the main seller of Consoles, alongside pricing. The following are the only games that are ONLY on PS5:A list of PS5 exclusives:>Astro Bot>Demon's Souls Remake>Horizon: Call of the Mountain>Destruction AllStars>Firewall Ultra>Silent Hill: The Short MessageThere are no Xbox exclusives.A new PS5 Pro costs between $650-700, with an equivilant GPU costing around $350-400, paired with a $200 CPU-suddenly PC isn't really much more expensive, despite having a much larger library and more versatile use.Consoles are nearing the end of their transition from unique corner of the market to corporate-sponsored prebuilt PCs. Before it was Alienware or Razer, now Sony and Xbox will have their own "towers" aimed at eating into the prebuilt PC market. But why would anyone want a worse, more expensive PC which limits what they can play-and which they can never upgrade?
I think the PS5/Xbox Series X generation has been the "worst" in the sense that there were truly, truly no games.So much of it was>remastered 7th/8th gen games>exclusive for a bit, then on PC/whateverBut I cannot think of a single standout PS5 game this generation that isn't also on PC, and there are no Xbox exclusives. We know Xbox have given up, but are Sony the same?
>>721624158>Exclusives are Dead
>with an equivilant GPU costing around $350-400Cool, but a pc requires more than a gpu, doesn't it?
>>721624319that doesn't count.
>>721624319Basically always been a thing that Nintendo are their own category, which Sony+Xbox are unable to touch. Remember PS Move? Kinect?>>721624405Yeah, but the only things people really upgrade most of the time are GPU, and SOMETIMES cpu.Framing it along console generations, getting a new GPU is nowhere near as pricey as getting a new console. Considering consoles are also marketed to have many users upgrade to a "pro" version midway through the cycle, it tracks well enough. People don't buy a new TV every time they get a new console, etc. To buy a PS5 equivilant GPU and CPU is cheaper right now than it is to buy a new PS5-despite us heading to the end of the console's life cycle.
>>721624158yeah
>>721624697not much of a surprise when monster hunter got popular with 3ds.
>>721624158Xbox is dead and Playstation dying is honestly a good thing too, fuck 'em. Never brought anything of value to the industry.
Daily PC cultist thread
to put it another way; what are the big Xbox/Playstation brand series now?Playstation used to have:>Killzone>Uncharted>God of WarXbox had some too, but they're all now eaten by PC. Sorry Xboxfags. But what are the big playstation titles? Because playstation/sony seem to be marketed as a brand, rather than a platform; their big games that all end up on PC have that Sony intro that marks it as a cinematic brand of games rather than a console.
>>721624808Meanwhile in reality PC marketshare has been declining for years but stay deluded
>>721624878Yeah because you can pirate everything for free and next-gen games haven't even been a thing so no reason to upgrade. GTA 6 will finally come out, a "next-gen" game like 1 year before PS5 dies completely and PS6 replaces it and only Sony fanboys will buy that thing
>>721624158>are dead the absolute state of xbotsnoys lmao
>>721624986>next-gen games haven't even been a thing so no reason to upgrade.Yeah bro there are constant threads whining their 5090 cant run games but no need to update lmao
>>721624301Demon's Souls
>>721624697unironically funny looking at news/streams and seeing dozen of 3rd party publishers still being retarded by announcing their titles for barrierstation 5 in FUCKING TOKYO GAME SHOW lmao
>>721624319Nintendo is doing worse than Xbox in gaming, if Xbox is dead what does that make Nintendo?
>>721625157Yeah, remastered 7th gen game.
>>721625204Tendies dont buy third party games retard, they sell better on ps5Seethe
>>721625123So what they run like shit on consoles too, the games you don't care about or avoid anyways. Nintendo/PC is the only platforms that matter now and has been for the last 8 years at least
>>7216243194 months
Roblox
>>721624319half of these are actual shovelware and tendies think they are better than playstation lmao
>>721625410>Nintendo/PC is the only platforms that matter nowYour personal opinion doesn't matter autist, in reality PS5/xbone are more popular and thats why GTA6 isnt coming to shitch2/PC
And that's a good thing.
>>721625204No-one has an Xbox, you'd want these publishers to skip PS5 because... reasons?
>>721625254I see the State of Play has you in panic mode.
>>721625894what was even announced?
Yeah, the only people who are still loyal to consoles (aka, non-idorts) are brown people. They are the only ones who still fall for it, because they are simple and corporate sponsored.That's it. Browns. Look at OP's hand.
>>721627397Nice projection PC poor
>>721624659Thats total bullshit. You cannot build a PC for cheaper than 549 that will perform like a base ps5. Absolutely not.
>>721625384most of the third party are selling better on switch and you know this, macaco.
>>721625723Hes a mindbroken tendie that is seething because he got a switch as a gift and he missed out on every single big third party game for 8 years straight.He does this in a lot of threads.Maybe he'll get a PS5 this holiday season like hes always wanted
>>721627856I'm sure you can source this image.
P-Please buy a NSW2, Nintendo is doing really bad and we need your help!!!
>>721627895Yeah, the post doesn't say that either. It says to buy a GPU and CPU that are on par with a PS5, it costs less. >but that isn't a whole PC!but the only things people really upgrade across console generations are GPUs...rarely a CPU, if it's very very old. The equivilant GPU of a PS5 is an RTX 4070, which sells for around the same that a brand new PS5 Pro does-or an AMD RX 7700 XT, which costs between $100-$200 less.
>>721628232The funny thing is, it would take a 2000 dollar PC to even match the Pro in real world scenarios.
>>721624158>Exclusives are Deaduh yeah sony made it pretty clear at the end of ps4 gen when they started porting themand xbox gave up even soonerdespite that, ps5 is selling like hotcakes despite everything being more expensive, at the end nobody gives a shit, people buy home consoles because it's hassle-free affordable gaming and they mostly care about fifa and cod at the end
>>721625384>they sell better on ps5 keep saying that and maybe it will turn to be true. lmao
>>721626290Uuuuuh...speakers and a new contoller?
>>721628323Thats in japan, a fairly niche market compared to America
>>721628323your shitty toy tablet is locked out of 90% of new AAA releases so it's irrelevantreply back when your manchild toy can run gta 6 (the upcoming playstation handheld actualy will run it)
>>721628087Source is go to any third world country
>>721628323This is for physical games in japanIn japan no one owns a PS5
>>721628376and I was talking about Japan, illiterate-kun.>a fairly niche marketonly in your retarded hater delusions. >721628398>gta 6 not even worth a (You)
>>721628310>in real world scenariosIf you are building a PC from scratch, it'll always be more expensive. But you don't need to build a new PC every 5-8 years; you typically only need to upgrade your GPU.We are 6 years in to the current generation of consoles, and they cost the exact same amount of money to buy. My GPU is better than PS5 Pro's, and costs around $100 less than one. Consoles maybe *slightly* edge ahead in price, but not over long term-and you are also then left with an extremely limited library and have to pay to use your own internet.
>>721628726>you typically only need to upgrade your GPUThat's patently false
>>721628573gta 6 is better than anything nintendo has come out with on the switch 1 combined.dumbass
>>721624319that list is so incomplete, what about all the exclusive 3rd party's like waifu hentai slide puzzle 7?
Dont forget Consoles have to pay 80$ a year for online multiplayer.Unless you are a turbo casual who exclusively plays only SP games this is an additional 480-640$ in the consoles life cycle.Also you need a PC anyway for most stuff. So even console only gamers will still need to buy a new PC eventually even if its not a gaming one so why not combine the prices and get a good one.
When i had Consoles i used to constantly want to get a better gaming PC.Now when i have i Gaming PC i no longer think about buying consoles.If someone gave me a free switch 2 tomorrow id still not play anything on it because i already have a huge backlog on my PC.
>>721629143Enjoy your one year of exclusivity.
>>721628918It isn't at all. GPU upgrades happen far more often than CPU upgrades. And again; to buy a CPU+GPU that puts me on par with a PS5 Pro, it could literally work out cheaper depending where I get it.All my games, all my peripherals, and all my other stuff will work straight away with my new GPU and CPU. My entire library of everything comes with me. I can emulate whatever I want, for free. If I spent $749.99 on a PS4 Pro right now, I then have access to its limited library and grand total of 5 exclusives. If I want to play any games online, I must pay a monthly fee to use my own interenet.Don't be a cuck, anon.
>>721628932GTA 6 isn't out yet and won't be that good, just like GTA 5 wasn't that good despite all those sales. Hope you're ready to buy shark cards.
>>721628232>The equivilant GPU of a PS5 is an RTX 4070, which sells for around the same that a brand new PS5 Pro does-or an AMD RX 7700 XT, which costs between $100-$200 less.???????the ps5 has 2304 rdna2 coresthe 6700xt has 2560 rdna2 cores and the 4070 performs 50% better than thatthe ps5 pro has an equivalent of an rx 6800 that's node shrunk but has significantly fewer rops and that's on par performance wise with a $370 gpuyou can make a ps5 pro tier pc for the same damn price
>>721628982All the big multiplayer games are free to play, so you don't need to pay for online. Most people have a subscription to play with the game catalogues like Game Pass, PS+ and Nintendo ROM catalogue.
>>721629323>>721628918It depends on the time span between CPU upgrades.You would be surprised how many people get a 4080 and still have a 8 year old I5 like a i5 6600.And then just blame every game for bad optimization when their CPU bottlenecks the GPU by like 60%.If you have an 8 core at best than a GPU upgrade is enough.But if you are still running some old 4 core 8 thread CPU or worse 4 core not thread than you will get problems.
>>721629535I'm being deliberately harsh on PC pricing for the sake of the argument that pricing isn't necessarily a winner for consoles anymore.Obviously if you know your stuff you can throw something together for fuck all money.
>>721629558This is subjective.The kinds of Multiplayer games i enjoy are not free.I also play Guild Wars 2 a lot and that game is not even on Consoles.
>>721629579>their CPU bottlenecks the GPU by like 60%.This never happens. Stop being retarded
>>721624158PC also has fuckall for exclusives as of the past decade. Unless you really like moba trash and WoW. I wouldn't inflict garbage genres like moba or MMOs on my worst enemy.
>>721630569Anon, there are entire series of games that are iconic on PC with millions of players that aren't on console. Look at the Total War series, for example; millions buy their games, but none are on console. Most strategy games don't tend to make it to console.And yes, those MMOs and so on are also incredibly popular. You might not like them, sure, but that doesn't mean they don't sell or that people don't play them. If you buy a PC, you get everything a console has and more. That's the point; there is no longer any benefit to buying a console instead-but several downsides.
>>721630812Outside of the Steam Deck, PC can't compete with the ease of use of a console. You sit down and turn it on and play.PC has the stigma of being locked to sitting at a desk and using mouse and keyboard.
>>721627856Homer?
>>721624158The only reason exclusives didn't die in the early 2000s is because companies thought that DVD player sales would translate to selling more than just yearly Madden and Fifa, but exclusives have been dead since about 2007-2009.>Consoles are nearing the end of their transition from unique corner of the market to corporate-sponsored prebuilt PCsThat was already true in the early 2010s.>>721624319>Empty open world shovelware fillerNo one is buying until the console has actual games.>>721624405If a console has a budget GPU, then all of its other components have even cheaper equivalents.In most cases just having a PC to upgrade from the last 8-10 years is enough.>>721628310The funny thing is that if you paid the running costs for a PS5 Pro, you would be spending close to 2000$ anyway, since the paid online for 8 years will cost you 640$, the base PS5 will cost you 500$ and the PS5 Pro will cost you 750$.>But I'll just sell the base PS5 I boughtNo one is going to buy your obsolete console roach motel and you can't sell your paid online.
>>721630812>Total WarKeep it. I'd rather have access to physical media. Even OP's meager PS5 examples still amount to more than a few MMOs (only playable with a sub), couple mobas and TW. PC has too few exclusives to be worth it when most of its games obligatorily come to consoles now. It was a way better investment back when games like System Shock and NOLF were the face of PC exclusives.
>>721631021You can do that with a PC, too. Turn on your PC, press a button on your controller (opens big picture mode), play.It's been like a decade since playing controller/couch PC was an issue.>>721631202Again anon, your personal preferences for games don't really matter do they?Consoles don't have any exclusives, and you have it back to front; console exclusives come to PC. PS5 has 6 exclusives, 6 years into its development cycle.>Astro Bot>Demon's Souls Remake>Horizon: Call of the Mountain>Destruction AllStars>Firewall Ultra>Silent Hill: The Short Messagewhich makes the PS5 more alluring than a PC's entire library?
>>721629763I upgraded my i5 6600 to a i7 13700And keep the same budget 2060 card.Games that struggled to get to 60 fps now ran at perfect 80 fps.I did eventually upgrade to a 4080 so i can get 120 fps and run newer games.
>>721631021This is how i game (and work) on my PC and Switch and Consoles before i sold them.
>>721631671Older pick but a another angle.
>>721631869Older pick but a another angle.I play just as many games on Controller as i do Keyboard and mouse.Whichever Scheme gives me better control.
>>721624158I hate that E3 died, because it forced companies to MAKE GAMES and show them off in June. These company specific ones suck and don't drum up hype except Nintendo because MAYBE SMASH, MAYBE NU MARIO, etc. When has Xbox or Sony events made everyone stop and make bingo cards?
>>721631671>>721632004you live like a pig
>>721631467My personal preference do matter because they influence the platforms I'll invest in. PC's paltry amount of notable exclusives for the last ten years doesn't persuade me to give up my consoles and physical media.>PC's entire libraryAnd here comes the hard cope. Now I'm supposed to pretend this matters when the thread's premise is based on recent exclusives, never mind a craptop or a phone with winlator can gives you the same access.
>>721632219I also fuck on the same bed.
>>721624158I thought PCbros wanted no exclusives
>>721632773I never enjoyed games more specifically because i had to pop in a Disc in to the DVD drive.And if for we reason Steam shuts down in my lifetime (Consoles are more likely to die due to hardware failure and the update servers get shut down in your lifetime) i can just find cracked games online.
>>721624301Only Astro Bot really
>>721624319Woo hoo puzzle candu crush mario sonic proncess zelda saga yes yes colorful kids
>>721624301>>721633717don't forget Demon's Soul remaster
People buy consoles to play free to play games. Fortnite and Roblox sell more PS5s than anything.
And that's a good thingt. pc gamer
saars...
Cool, still buying a PS5 Pro and Saros
