JackbyDev, rok temu do games w 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5

It feels weird to phrase it like this. I didn’t buy my PS4 11 years ago. I bought it 5 years ago.

PS2 and PS3 get use. PS4 had nothing that interested me. PS5, same. Maybe when something good comes out ill get a PS17

There’s only a handful of games who really need the PS5, no surprise.

The article states that the PS5 is responsible for significantly more gaming hours, so a large number of PS4 users are likely mainly using their device for streaming or similar. Hell, I still have my PS2 and 3 in my closet since they're my only dvd and blu ray players.

the PS5 also has reletively low game ownership rate, so the hours on PS5 are either games given for free/part of subscription, or free to play.

No wonder either, there are strangely few games meant just for the new system, and it’s been out for several years.

this generation is odd because the effects of covid are still being felt.

With or without covid, development times still got to be too long, and fewer games are the natural result of that.

I have yet to buy a PS5 because there isn’t a game I want yet. Also, Sony tends to release improved consoles with lower price points and smaller footprints after a few years.

For some reason that doesn’t surprise me. When I got a PS4 there were like at least 10 exclusives I wanted. This gen seems it’s mostly remasters and remakes. So ignoring that Sony games come to PC now it doesn’t even meet my criteria of number of exclusives to justify picking one up.

Is the new CFB game going to be released on PS4? I still have mine, but I’ve switched to PC gaming the last couple of years. But NCAA 25 isn’t going to be released on PC right away, and I heard GTA6 was going to be the same. Those games are probably what get me to finally upgrade to the PS5

My buddy is a big CFB guy and was complaining he’d have to buy a new gen console to play it

slurpinderpin, rok temu

Granted I think the cheaper Xbox will also be able to play it, but with tuned down graphics. Fuck it though, I’m not poor so I’ll just get a PS5

NOT_RICK, rok temu

Yeah if you already have a pc to play games on then I think PS5 makes more sense

I use both. I have the PS5 upstairs, and the PS4 down in the family room. I can remote play the PS5 from downstairs, which is nice. And the PS Portal is nice when I’m taking a sh…

as other's have said, console makes pretty good all purpose media center unless you are a high end electronic waste snob.

I sure do. A lot of it is Beat Saber, but it is quite a lot.

I’ll get a PS5 in like, 4 years. Maybe. If I find something I absolutely need on it.

I use mine to stream TV shows 🤣

Potatisen, rok temu do astronomy w Daily Telescope: The initial results from Europe’s Euclid telescope are dazzling

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e859ec46-d3f9-4aa8-8655-83794eaa8ed7.jpeg

According to the European scientists, “Euclid peered deep into this nursery using its infrared camera, exposing hidden regions of star formation for the first time, mapping its complex filaments of gas and dust in unprecedented detail, and uncovering newly formed stars and planets. Euclid’s instruments can detect objects just a few times the mass of Jupiter, and its infrared ‘eyes’ reveal over 300,000 new objects in this field of view alone.”

teawrecks, rok temu do gaming w Game dev says contract barring “subjective negative reviews” was a mistake

I hope the reviewers all made really positive, upbeat videos praising the way they chose to stick to such a proven pay-to-win strategy. The cosmetics and in-game currency that you spend real money to acquire really gives players a way to dispose of their bothersome disposable income. And earning daily login bonuses has never been so streamlined!

I know nothing about this game, but I would bet money this is the formula.
