    The PlayStation 5 continues to smash it

    No. It doesn’t. I’ve read lots of articles implying the rate of adoption was slow, and most ps5 owners were just playing a lot of ps4 games for a long time.

    It was shocking to me how little I cared. After like 4 years I own maybe 3 PS5 games and finished none of them.

      I got a PS5 so I could play Demons Souls Remaster, when that game launched.

      I haven’t touched the console since I beat the game. It has been sitting collecting dust for years, just like my Nintendo Switch did before I sold it.

      I’m still rolling with a PS4 Pro my buddy gave me when he popped for a PS5. Honestly not feeling like I’m missing out.

      It is, however, also fair to point out that I have also built and maintained a Gaming Machine of Theseus for many, many years.

      I told my wife to not buy me a ps5, since I didn’t see any games I wanted. She did so anyway. I have yet to buy a single ps5 game, still working through all the ps4 stuff. I’ll buy a handle of ps5 games when ps6 is probably out. I’ve told her to NOT buy me a ps6 in the future, but she’ll probably ignore that as well.
