We all had the tricks we had to do in order to get older consoles working. I don’t think a single NES lasted more than a year without having to learn exactly how to put the cart in and press it down in just the right way for it to read
And it never seemed to be the same. You had to do yours one way, but a friend would have to do something different

a twitter account thats been reliable in the past (IronManPS5) says that PS5 will release Nov 14th in Japan, Nov 20th worldwide, and be priced at $400 for digital edition and $500 for disc edition. He goes on to say the Xbox Series X will be $500 and release on Nov 6th, $400 for Series S but that won't release until 2021.

Depending on how many PS4 games can be used at launch, that price will probably make me upgrade at launch or fairly close to it. I think my PS4 is dying. It goes full fan speed most of the time, and the menu lags a lot. Got a few crashes as well recently. I doubt there will be many PS5 games I am interested in, but still have quite a few PS4 titles in my backlog I want to finish. Most of them large titles as well. Don't really care about the 100++ games I've gotten for free with PS+. Doubt most of them will be transferred since the majority of those are not AAA titles.
Not touching the Xbox though. Fully expect this generation to be like the previous ones. Want all AAA games, you need a playstation, nintendo and a PC. I don't expect that to change. Last Xbox exclusive I can remember was for the 360, Lost Odyssey. I don't expect that to change at all. Microsoft may have acquired a few studios, but they'll be on PC as well. I don't expect Sony to ever change their console exclusive ways, unless it is many years later (like Horizon/Bloodborne).
You really don't need a PS either for that many exclusives. A Switch and a PC, and you'll get 99% of the games that are released. Maybe this will change with the PS5, but it doesn't look like it. I didn't see too many Play Station exclusives during their demo, or anything that I would really want to play that will only be available on PS5. Godfall, Cyberpunk 2077, Everspace 2, pretty much every game I'm really looking forward to is releasing on PC. If you tell me games like Sack Boy are going to be PS5 exclusives, I'm not really impressed.
Didn't mean at launch. But over the life cycle of the console. Bloodborne, Spiderman, Horizon, Persona 5, God of War, Last of Us (remastered) (let's not talk about the sequel...).
So 1-3 years after launch, going by all previous generations, you'll have AAA titles exclusive to the Playstation not available elsewhere. Horizon 2 and God of War 2 will be exclusive, but don't expect them until 2021 - 22. They also have long exclusive contracts that last a year + (Final Fantasy and Nioh).
That said, with the release games list I see no reason to buy one at launch, I am only considering it due to my slowly dying PS4 and if they have backwards compatibility for the PS4 games I actually want to play.

Have you tried rebuilding the database to try and breathe some life back into it? It helps with the lagging UI issue. Hold the power button for 10 seconds to enter safemode then select rebuild database.

$400 for the disc less version almost seems to low, but if I can play all my ps4 games at higher quality / frames (looking at you MHW), it could end up being a day one buy (if available of course).

switches are easier and easier to get now, go to NowInStock.net Product Availability Tracker and In Stock Notification System and setup an alert for the one you want (lite or regular) and it should popup within a week, send an alert to your phone. For like $400 you can buy it from a reseller on offerup, etc if you dont' mind paying the xtra $50-75 reseller tax.

Man that sounds really fun actually. I assume I should just buy it and not wait for a sale since it’s Nintendo and their games never seem to go on sale.
