This console generation seems skippable (lemm.ee)

I've never skipped a console gen starting from Super NES, PS1 through 4 plus the Switch Oled 5 years after launch of the OG Switch

It seems like exclusives are rarer now with Sony and Xbox pushing games to PC and Nintendo spending resources on remasters. COVID made it incredibly difficult to own a PS5 and they have some disappointing exclusives as well

What do you think? Any reason to own a PS5 or PS5 pro?

No. Honestly. I own one, but I haven't been able to play it for reasons relating to my work and I've got a lot of buyer's remorse about it too. That really sucks, but I really don't feel like I have missed out on much as far as gaming goes.

My gaming laptop has been more than a viable alternative. I really wish I hadn't been so impulsive with the purchase of my PS5. I genuinely feel like it wasn't worth all the struggle it took to get it, and the financial loss/burden/degradation that it caused.

I've been considering selling it, for some time now, but I'm having trouble committing...

I'd love to hear your stories/advice, for any of you in a similar situation.
