I've found that upgrading to an SSD helps a lot when it comes to texture pop in. Also, regarding the Series S, you can always get an external SSD and shuttle your games back and forth to the main drive. Older games can be run straight from it as well.

For Xbox X|S exclusive games, the USB drive can be used as storage, but the game cannot be played from the drive. For non-dedicated games (e.g. Xbox One games), in addition to being used as storage, you can play games directly from the USB drive.

The idea of getting a new console should transition more into moving the old console to another room or spare room instead of forgetting it

[@ramiking745]

I remember buying my 1TB PS4 slim in 2017 brand new for $200 +tax and it was a solid console for the 5 years I’ve had it. I have since moved to the PS5 last August, but there are some things I miss going from PS4 to 5 like the UI and the background themes. If you can find a Slim for cheap, I’d say go for it even if its used (I didn’t fully agree with Austin to just buy a new one for over $300). As for the Series S comparison, get an external hard drive or SSD for games not optimized for next gen or to store next gen games that you’re not going to play until later. I don’t know why Austin didn’t bring that up in his Series S bit in the video.

[@inherentlyflawed]

A lot of people still have PS4s so naturally there will probably be higher demand for controllers as well. There’s also the fact that the moment Sony stops selling controllers for a console, the market is immediately flooded with fakes. So people have probably learned their lesson from PS3 and are stockpiling DS4s this time around

[@tommyw.7850]

I have a feeling they'll keep developing games for the PS4 for some time, given the current install base. They've sold 116+ million PS4s, developers are going to want to still get in on that player base who haven't bought a PS5 yet (which has sold 32 million so far) Remember, the PS2 got FIFA 14 (the same year the PS4 came out!) Major releases will get a few more years, and I foresee indie stuff for ages as long as the PS4 store still operates.

[@CommodoreFan64]

that's a very good point, just look how long Ubisoft kept on releasing the Just Dance games on the Wii till 2020 even after they stopped supporting the Wii U, and other systems of that era, and I could be 100% wrong, but I see another 3 - 5 years of games at least from the major studios, and indie games that don't require high end system specs till Sony decides to stop supporting the online services for the PS4.

Back during pandemic, I managed to sell my PS4 Slim (FFXV edition) that I got used from Japan, for basically same price…. After playing on it for almost 5 years. So yeah, definitely keeping those values, although having PS4 shortage probably also helped. Honestly, the only reason I have not been getting my PS4 Slim SSD for so long, is because PS5 is coming, and 60$ is quite a big percentage of 500$. I think PS4 will have quite a long tail of software coming out for it just like PS2. Developers making games just for PS5 need to consider whether their game reaaaally need SSD and extra GPU of PS5. Alot of game does not. Releasing a game on PS4 will ensure that many extra install bases compared to just releasing on PS5.

I had put an external Samsung T5 SSD years ago on my first gen PS4 and it made a good amount of difference. And now I’m using that same SSD with my PS5 to play PS4 games.

[@PsiliPharm2012]

The thing that annoyed me the most about the PS4 when it came out was that it didn’t support external storage, and despite it being the most requested feature, Sony didn’t add it until well after the PS4 Pro was released. I had to buy larger internal drive, so I went with the largest laptop drive I could fine, it didn’t fit into the PS4 Pro … I had to get cables to extend the internal connection outside of the console, its still like that to this day … mostly because I switched to Xbox as my primary console, it had external HDD support from day one along with a bunch of other quality of life features that the PS4 lacked at the time like the Quick Menu that allowed you to access the party chat without switching from your game, also I think Xbox has overall better value with Game Pass/Backwards Compatibility/Cross-Platform Support, and I often found the sale prices of third-party games were better than on PSN. It’s also getting harder to support Sony’s anti-consumer business practices, when Microsoft has been doing so much better in that regard in recent years. It’s almost like they switched places in terms of consumer friendliness at some point between the PS3/X360 and the PS4/XB1 generations. Ultimately, now I just play the exclusives on PlayStation, everything else is on Xbox or PC.

There's always games on sale, and getting a pre-owned switch game can cut the cost down by a lot, depending on if it's one of Nintendo's "big 3" franchises (Zelda, Mario, Pokemon). On top of that, the cost of the games is heavily offset by incredibly cheap Nintendo Online - around $20 for a YEAR. Xbox Live Gold is $11 a month, and PSPlus is $60 a year. If you're on a budget *and* looking to play multiplayer, the Switch lite is a much better deal.

I couldn't even make it through the prologue, it hurt my eyes and made me feel kind of sick because of the way the motion was. I put my PS4 out to pasture after that, she had a good run but new stuff just wasn't very nice to play on it anymore.

[@rogeliocano9536]

I repasted my ps4 after it being really loud whenever you turn it on yet it still kicks the fans on after about an hour or 2 of playing. I think mine has also reached its end of life and is showing its age.

[@ricenoodles632]

I watched some cutscene comparison videos of Forbidden West (between PS5 and PS4 Pro) and I actually found the "better" graphics on the PS5 to look more uncanny. After that, I just ordered a PS4 copy right away (during last Black Friday) since I don't already have a PS5 and don't see the point in waiting to get a PS5 copy until I get a PS5 likely years later.

​@@rogeliocano9536My Xbox One S is quiet and still running like a dream. No over heating, loud noises of fan or anything even after many hours of game play in a day...

[@saltynipsyup2025]

I have a slim when it was new and its slower than the new ps4 slim. And it’s probably because the age but the new one is significantly snappier when it comes to the quick menu. I think we are getting to a time where systems are all getting good enough to make good games.

[@magic1wizard]

The slowness is from the internal hdd (basically the files are all over the place on the hdd) to fix it rebuild the database or upgrade to an internal ssd.

[@susanna8612]

Sony just announced that about 1/2 of their customers are using.... PS4. And they are still selling them!! I just picked up a refurbished PS4 Pro for less than 250$ and it was in near mint condition and it has a LOT more TFLOPS than the standard PS4.... hard to believe. I purchased it basically for media consumption, but the fact that it plays games.... well, icing on the cake.

[@sir.fender6034]

You can add an inexpensive external SSD to the Series S via the USB ports. My Series S has two external drives attached, I have one 2 TB SSD and a 2 TB HDD and it works great. Games that are optimized for Series X|S will need to be installed on the internal storage but its very easy to transfer games back and forth from the external drives. Also, most games from last gen will run on the external SSD with no issues. Not all Series X|S optimized games need to be installed on the internal SSD.

[@vinhtran123]

I'm going to say this, gamers destroyed gaming. We have such high expectation nowadays when it comes to graphics that game companies neglect gameplay and storyline. We give game companies a short period of time to create a high def and high graphic game, but when it comes out and the storyline/gameplay suffers, we complain. Typical modern day gamers, instant gratification, entitled and selfish.

[@user-mt2zf7bw7o]

good take

[@TheLFCPundit]

Hello @Austin Evans, nice video, but how does the Series S run Warzone 2? Also, please to resurrect the Super Nintendo with games like Mortal Combat 3, Final Fight & of course Super Mario World. Thanks.

[@princessmommy2709]

At my Walmart they have a 1TB PS4 slim for over $300, does not include any games. They keep getting them in stock the last couple of months.

[@Full_Send_Gaming]

I'm a playstation user 100% however I needed to upgrade to the next gen consoles (I had a PS4) but the PS5 wasn't available for a reasonable price so I said why not and got a series s and I gotta say If want PS5 but they aren't available the series s is a great middle ground until you can get you hands on a PS5

[@superiorone2061]

If I didn't have a PC, I would have totally gotten a Series S until I could get a PS5.

[@ravenspurplebeats5412]

@@superiorone2061 yeah i still use my ps4 but once in blue moon, but use my pc alot more and saves me getting xbox or ps5 anyway as runs games better on pc i think.

[@superiorone2061]

@ravens purple beats I used my PS4 a lot too, especially for God of War Ragnarok and PS VR stuff. My PC has a 7th gen Core i5 and a GTX 1060 6gb and it pretty much runs anything I throw at it. It's really only capable of 1080p max, but that doesn't bother me. I got a 4K TV that I watch 4K movies on through my Xbox One S. I'll really be able to take advantage of that TV once I get a PS5.

[@ravenspurplebeats5412]

@@superiorone2061 most games run fine at 1080 on a pc if decent built up pc, anything above is rare and also isnt always needed as i got few bigger games on pc i had for ps4 (for modding purposes also). somepoint may want 3080 gxt graphic card as dont really care for 4080/4090 at moment (as currently using radeon 6600 i think which does more then jobs i need for games & modding).

I keep seeing these in stores and have had to talk myself out of it several times. We skipped PS4 last gen and have a Series X this gen (which we use to watch a TON of media off an external drive, lol).

Honestly I'm surprised Dualshock 4 controllers have not majorly dropped in price. At some point during sales the Dualsense is more cheaper then the Dualshock 4

I have a ps4 base model. Then 8 years later finally decided to get a Ps4 Pro to run Horizon FW better (base did fine, long load screens and an occasional load screen in a fight with more than 4 machines or 2 Thunderjaws, Tiderippers,etc…) had the Pro for 4 days and seen a notification from Sony saying they restocked PS5s and now I have the disc PS5 and HFW (PS5 edition) is just beautiful. Now, I’m gonna go back to playing Super Mario 64 on my N64 (unphased graphics btw)

The way this contradicts austins other video on the ps4 and ps5 comparison🤣

[@th3_darkshadow618]

I still have a standard ps4 that has a manufacture date of 2014. I have never changed anything about the system. Yet while I see some certain load spike in game like Ark and Call of Duty, I still run it almost daily since I got it and it’s staying strong.

Runs strong….. but very loud on newer games?

you can turn off motion blur in the options cleans up alot better

As someone who skipped the Wii U it would be cool to see you look at that system. I mean its definitely DOA but still i would watch that video. Good luck finding it brand new though.

I started to use my ps4 early model with the shiny top that slides off. I haven't used it since launch. I'm so mad I haven't touched a Sony system since ps2. I'm loving it, the fun games, trophies. Yeah I can play Xbox on my pc, but these games are so casual and just fun!!!

PS5 is still $700 plus in Australia, it's just not in reach for a lot of people. My PS4 Pro is still going strong (bought new Xmas 2019), and I could probably extend that with an SSD upgrade.

$700 AUD?

There is a very thick line between "the last" and "one of the last"!

[@vollabiwastaken7303]

I mean it made sense until like a few months ago because the PS5 was impossible to get but now you can just walk into a store and get one so there’s absolutely no reason for this especially when the Xbox Series S is the same price.

Specific PlayStation models are being sold for around 12 years: PS1 1994-2006, PS2 2000-2013, PS3 2006-2017 So we can expect PS4s to be produced until 2024-2025

Man, I remember when I bought my ps4 and had on the awesome games like spider man, and God of war. I had a lot of good memories with console. I didn't care it was running at 1080 30fps. As far as the game run fine and has a decent story, I was ready to jump in any game. But now I will have to get a ps5 for a better experience. Goodbye ps4, I will miss you for years to come.

In Australia, on EB Games you can get a ps4 500gb console (new) for $439.00 AUD. So when I watched this and saw "$300" I was like, that's cheap! Till I remembered it was a different currency.

[@ryans413]

An SSD won’t really help with load times but it dose help cut down on texture pop in. That’s where the level loads in slightly before the hard drive can load other assets in and you get a couple seconds of textures that are not detailed and then they all pop in. An SSD will help with that but don’t expect it to cut down on the games loading times you might get a couple seconds faster nothing too extreme. But it is better to not have a hard drive because that’s a mechanical moving part that can fail and SSD has no moving parts.
