This is why current-gen consoles SUCK...

The current-gen consoles, the PS5 & Xbox Series X, are some of the most powerful pieces of hardware we've seen and yet they still haven't been used to their max potential. This is why I say that this current-gen of consoles sucks.

There you go, you've solved the problem. The PS5 is just a PS4 Pro 2. There are 50 million players sticking with the PS4 because there's no compelling reason to upgrade. If, upgrade is the right word to use. The current gen is redundant, it brings nothing to the table. I'll wait and see what the 10th generation has to offer. If consoles are still a thing at that point.

[@NerdStorm92]

You LITERALLY hit the nail on the head with that one!

[@HollowRick]

I'm still using my PS4 pro KH3 edition that I got in 2019 as I don't see the point in upgrading I do also have a gaming pc which was high end for 2017 but mid range now lol but I there's no reason other than final fantasy 16 that makes me want a ps5 as all the other games I'm interested in are still getting ps4 versions that run very well on the pro model

[@dapperfan44]

60 FPS, very little or no loading times. Two very compelling reasons to upgrade, and aside from the PS5-only games* I've enjoyed, are the primary reasons I've enjoyed my PS5. *Regardless of PC availability, they are still console-exclusive to PS5.

[@Azaurus1]

I think gaming will get spliced between the handheld scene thats one console generation behind and pc gamers that are one console generation ahead.

[@NerdStorm92]

I can see that happening honestly, especially with the steam deck and other pc handhelds coming out.

[@philipberlanda]

I'm fine with this gen. People can buy used consoles if they really want to get into current gen. Edit: when gta 6 comes out its going to be hard to find a console.

[@NerdStorm92]

Oh that’s damn true 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@HablaConOwens]

I hope we get 24 gigs of ddr7 in the next consoles. Zen 6 and rdna 5. They could build something wild!

[@NerdStorm92]

But will it be worth it though?

[@jeremyjohns7187]

From what I’m hearing is that starting next year both platforms will be discontinuing the previous generation games and only make ones for the new generation

[@saintlugia]

Why is the switch in the thumbnail?

[@NerdStorm92]

😎 just to troll lol it’s the only system this gen with good games and was actually worth it

[@Syber227]

I have a ps4 slim and its served me well for many years but now I’m upgrading to a capable pc😊

[@Vorundor]

Its true, it always aggravates me when games keep getting held back by the previous generation. To make it even worse, even if the games were not held back by the previous gen, some would still be held back by the Series S. We definitely got played. Dope video and vibes, I would suggest having the music a little lower. I can hear you fine but the music does feel like its fighting for attention. Looking forward to the next vid.

[@lordspalse0062]

Despite owning a ps5 since January 2021, I only buy cheap used physical ps4 games. The ps5 games are not even worth being called current gen. They look a bit better and run significantly worse on the ps5 compared to native 1080p ps4 games played in BC mode.

[@NerdStorm92]

Yea I noticed that too sadly

[@Theoriginalthought]

The editing and visuals are so good in this video.

[@NerdStorm92]

I really appreciate that ✊🏿 I’ll be sure to continue to get better!

[@fadercreek]

The gaming industry needs more variety i hope sega, atari, blaze entertainment and valve(pc) help out with that

[@MichaelSmith-oz4ne]

I agree I have the Xbox series x and PS5 there is a few good games and remakes that's about it most of the games suck my favorite era was Xbox PS2 and Xbox 360 and PS3

[@NerdStorm92]

Definitely one of the better console generations there!

[@lennywright5655]

What’s with the Switch in the thumbnail? Didn’t even mention it.

[@dohnjoe9211]

It's not even just cross-gen titles, since most current-gen releases are playable on PC. Nearly every Xbox title launches simultaneously on PC, and Sony titles are showing up at an increasing rate. I got a PS5 about 6 months before GoT dropped on PC. Do I regret it? Not really. My PC isn't amazing, so sometimes buying it for PS5 ends up being a better choice. However, I definitely agree with the sentiment that this generation is lackluster.

[@setamax7139]

Mostly re-releases, remakes & remasters 😕

[@NerdStorm92]

Precisely! Not saying I don’t enjoy them but still, where are the games for this generation?!?

[@matiasjauhojarvi9551]

Amazing video. I got my PS5 last year at black friday because it was cheaper otherwise i wouldn't have got it.

[@PAIN007NAGATO]

you do know sony is making ps 5 pro not ps6 dont lump sony and microsoft in the same mix and GOD OF WAR released 9 novembre 2022 and the console sales are on track with ps4 gen in sales numbers

[@NerdStorm92]

They definitely are working on ps6. It’s already been confirmed 😒

[@leah8717]

@@NerdStorm92Love that you're receptive to editing feedback! I like when the background music is lower than the spoken content, but still very much there. A lot of KZbin videos go TOO low on the music, and I can't stand when the music is like barely there and I feel like I'm going crazy. If it's in the mix I wanna hear it too. 😂

Yea just cleaned my xbox one x|s, still works great and I dont see a reason to upgrade. Especially since I have a pc

[@fadercreek]

Xbox and playstation has to see pc as a competitor and not a ally like nintendo does they are literally carrying this era on there back

[@tonymack2007]

Yeah so many people cared about that pc showcase and those pc exclusive games are coming any day now 😂

[@robertbell1804]

Sony Microsoft all these developers companies that need to pull the plug on PS4 Xbox One they are holding back ps5 series x.Sometimes i regret buying a PS5 because there's nothing I care about.Nothing but remakes remasters.GTA 6 might be the only true next gen game

[@Junkgunk345]

still on original Xbox

I hope you mean you still own it and not that that’s the last console you bought? 🤣

[@TheCorWinnn]

Correction. It’s almost 4 years they’ve been out for. It was November 2020 that it came out. If you remember PS3 didn’t really get into there bag until the end of its life cycle.

[@NerdStorm92]

Yea, as far as console sales are concerned, but with games they had games the whole time!

@@NerdStorm92 I like not having to download the games or spend time updating them. Plus the instant access to hundreds of games in a matter of seconds. I just can't see physical media surviving. I don't see anyone buying DVDs or Blurays anymore.

Farthest thing from the truth. The devs are always getting the short end of the stick, ESPECIALLY AAA devs since they’re always being forced to make changes to their games they probably don’t want to. Blame the publishers not the devs!
