Am I the only one but recently started be been seeing the notion that “PS5 is the console w no games” with other variants like “Nintendo Switch in its last few years had better game lineup w less power & less 3rd party support”. This notion also appeared after the Nintendo direct.



Seems like the PC port is effecting PS consoles & the prestige of previous PS console is fading. I’ve never seen so many people question the PS console & the lack of it having no true exclusive games.

This sentiment that PS5 has no games been a strong sentiment with many people agreeing & receiving positive feedback. Multiple of these post goes viral.

If I where to bet unless Sony buys a gaming publisher PS6 will sell less then PS5 & PS4.

People are really starting to look at PS console as another Xbox.

Sony did it to themselves, they should've learned from Xbox last gen, instead they're copying their every move.

I hate to say it but it's already too late for PlayStation, we're watching their slow descent. They should just hurry it up and go full 3rd party already.

It's no coincidence Xbox/PS did way better when they had true exclusives. And why they both started going down hill when they embraced PC.

Hmm I'll never take social media serious when it comes to mainstream discourse. The average causal player isn't gonna hop on Twitter to moan about a console lol.

Just like they are gonna announce they are switching to PC or mobile lol.

Gotta be careful with the bad faith actors

Exactly, this topic is trending on Tik Tok,Twitter,Instagram and YouTube.

Sony does it to themselves with all this bullshit silence.

They also need to hire a proper PR division

People have been crying about no PS5 games since It's launch, so It's nothing new.
(Even though It has more games than PS4 had for it's first 4 years. PS5 just lacks THE game, like Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, Uncharted 4, Halo 2, that made people rush to get the new console)

PS5 has tons of games, but the problem lies in the small announcment windows inbetween SIE releases. They could have revealed Astrobot last year If they wanted to. Add the billions of PC ports to that, and It just feels dire.

Xbox death resulted in the switch of Sony's view on exclusivity and PS Studios games.
Normally, exclusive games were never supposed to be proftable. The idea was to make a huge library of interesting and diverse games, to drive players towards your console. Sadly, the death of competition changed that. Sony no longer has to make you buy a console. Those who play new games on consoles will buy the PlayStation anyways, so why bother right? It's not like they are going to buy a Switch to play 720p/20fps ports of PS3 games.

So now SIE has no excuse to not push towards being profitable. Especially since the costs keep rising, and the PlayStation playerbase doesnt seem to be all that passionate and supportive towards PlayStation's new releases. (60m consoles sold, and only a milion copies of Ronin and stellar blade has been sold. While not terrible, when you compare that to the Switch where Nintendo can just randomly bring back a no name IP like Pikmin and It tends to sell over 5m copies, It just looks pretty bad. Most of the PlayStation playerbase are casuals who play CoD, Fifa and fortnite. The hardcore passionate fanbase is no more than like 5m users)

The hardcore PS base is more than 5M. Lol I would say it’s about 15M. GOW and Spiderman max out at about 20M on console with sales.

Lol GoW, GT and Spiderman are the only types of series from Sony, that casuals actually buy. That's why they sell so well.

It's just internet BS. PS Fanboys love negativity and are overly dramatic while Nintendo fanboys celebrate a 3DS game with a new paint job at 60 USD.

Its a legit criticism

I know youre a diehard PC fanboy but this argument of playstation pc port are great for ps ecosystem are pisspoor argument as been proven to be wrong after what happened to xbox recently

If sony doesnt show true ps exclusive in 2025 its gona be grim for them

Seems both you and OP are still salty about the PC ports, which is getting really old. The tweets never mentioned PC and OP to drive a narrative inferred that PC ports have something to do with Sony 'having no games"

The real reason behind "no games" which is absolutely fake is that games with the production values Sony is known for take a LONG time. If Sony were to port legacy games to PS5 to fill the perceived gaps in between, no one would have any reason to complain.

It's what Nintendo does. The switch was carried by the superior Wii u back catalogue for a long while. And now they are scrapping the bottom of the barrel for remasters. Let's see how they switch 2 pipeline looks when they have to feed a console entirely from scratch with new releases.

Also it's way easier to have "new" games when you have no BC. Nintendo standards are just different, as in way lower.
