That or the latest consoles are dismally failing to provide access to consumers. Maybe both.

What do you think?

What is there to play on new consoles atm?
Combine the answer to that with a backlog on the previous system.

Tbqh, they could have just had 3 more years of ps4 and been fine.

Honestly I think its because for Series X its a great machine to play old games on there. And with PS5 unless you are a huge Demons Souls fan its the same thing. I think both machines are better than their previous counterparts but the games just aren't there this time around.

1.) People don't have the money at the moment
2.) People are souring on some of the shitty industry practices like lootboxes, deluxe editions, and rushing games and patching later
3.) The launch lineups look pointless
4.) Close some fucking tabs, my god man

I mean we're in the middle of a worldwide pandemic so there are probably people out there who can't buy a new console, buying a new console on release is a stupid idea, and also they sold out crazy fast. In the case of PS5, Sony isn't even selling one to anyone without a pre-order either and won't have new ones until March at least.

First consoles are always bad. The last good one I can think of was the Wii that didn't come with many defects.

This. Honestly, I am more excited to play through some of my PS4 backlog with better framerates more than the actual PS5 games right now, since I don't really do the PC gaming thing like that. Its going to be fun playing through god of war, ghosts of tsushima, and sekiro with a solid 60fps. There is always that risk of a launch console having issues, but I personally never had a single problem with either my PS4 or PS4 pro, so I decided to take the leap of faith again.

Took me a year to get a PS4. Probably won't take as long to get a PS5 (I imagine by March or so) but no way I'm going day 1 on a console.

Like every console, I'll get one when a game I want comes out for it. I sometimes regret that strategy when it turns out to be the only game I want (like the Switch so far), but it's better than buying one at launch.

I've never bought a console at launch. I don't want to have to worry about any potential launch issues, and there's no real reason to. Especially these days. You won't see last gen consoles being phased out from big releases for probably another year or two

I probably would have preordered a ps5 if they hadn't all sold out in 10 minutes while I was asleep. I'm not even sure why I thought that was a good idea though, seeing as there's nothing to play.

Each generation is getting worse and worse with being good to early adopters. Mediocre to shitty launch titles, quickly depreciated and replaced hardware, patches out the wazoo, etc. make it unappealing except someone who really needs the latest console tech.

GameFAQs user base is growing older and older, and new blood is slow to come in. This is very likely just a result of that. I'm sure the consoles will sell just fine.

If you're old enough to remember console launches for the past ~20 odd years, I don't even know how you can get excited for a new console. I've seen the peak already.
