The DualSense controller is widely considered to be the best thing about the PS5. It's a joy to use and elevates gaming to a new level that isn't just better graphics or performance. After seeing the success, Microsoft are supposedly working on a similar improvement now.
It sounds good on paper, nothing more. It started with the "trophies", making that a big deal (trolling from "fortnite and steam" (pc gaming services), and next the step, making the "controller" a much bigger deal...................the games are not that "immersive", versus the ps2 and ps3................the dedication to live services (following the DLC trend of pay for price for half a game, since DLC is included on it) and "feature rich depravity" (social media bomb).....................
it really started with the PS3, but, also with the PS4 and more clearly with the PS5..................the market is not paying most of their dollar to actually play and enjoy a video game, all of the "bells and whistles", really show the age of bad policies and predatory behavior, flushed down, with the focus not to produce a sound product for an audience, but to help pass development costs in an unclean way.
It's sold as a gaming console so it's not really relevant but I'd be interested to know what percentage of Xbox owners actually use dev mode. Personally, I'd rather do emulation on a PC or handheld.
The Playstation 5 is very close to the purchased of a used automobile (anywhere from 400 to 1000 dollars), if you use a public auction or by an run down vehicle from a friend....................(if the ps5 receives a GPS ping, then it should be able to reply to it.................this is a silent alert to authorities................going beyond a password system), which were both failed by the current home console makers.
This one doesn't make sense. You can't blame the console's security for scummy Amazon delivery drivers.
This is a weird issue, you want every single PS2, PS3 and PS4 game available for free if you buy a PS5? That was never going to happen, so the ability to pay to have access to older games is a nice option for those that want it. That's why Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo all do it, to varying degrees of success.
(the value of theft from a purchased home console, exceeds the legal value of a felony or greater, that is an imprisonable offense)
Backwards Compatible Games....................when they are remade for the current generation systems, cost as much as it will cost to make a new game...................and that is sold for full price...............you end up with very poor choice and quality....................lots of recycling game content from major development houses, to not only compete with this issue..............but to also compete with "indie developers", "dlc content", "and live services, that offer nothing much over what you can get from a standard internet service and provider".
The issue of a monthly payment or year payment, versus, hour usage rate, or hours for sale for specific usage of the live services is a major issue (via game servers provided via the console). Just not at the moment from an uneducated audience, but things will perhaps change soon. The home console, has much less of an identity, with more intelligent devices available, "smart devices", "single board computers", and "streaming services". (the home console balloon will have to fail like the cellular market failed, and bottomed out with much lower prices, and much less companies in that pool).
(Backwards Compatible Games, DLC Content, and indie games, should be made free just from purchasing a console, there should be no market value or money in it, its a trend of predatory behavior from decades old consumer policies, that are very stale from the home console market) (or offered free, in quantity for each additional purchase of a game)
