I work at a Walmart overnight stock. I’ve been stocking PS5 and Series X every week. In one week we had sold 6 PS5’s and only 1 Xbox SX. Since they won’t advertise it my advice is arrive early 6am. If none are in case, ask if there’s more in the back. They come 2 per box and we’re only allowed to stock 2 at a time. Hope this helps.
Ohhhhh
Depends on the store manager's policies. Especially now that the Black Friday Event sales are happening this month.
go to playstation direct and log in with ur PSN sony has one for u
@@70smebbin can't go wrong with ps direct😎
I work ON at Walmart also, we were getting a dozen of the horizon disc version bundles a week back in June until late August I wanna say, plus I travel to other stores a lot and they were getting what looked about the same stock in too at that time but we haven't had anything else come in in a while. We had about the same amount of series X coming in but they barely moved while the ps5s flew off the shelves, I bought both while I could like pretty much every other associates who game at our store.
Edit: wanted to add to help, if you have the walmart app and you're in store looking for one but don't see it on the shelf scan the price tag on the home and see if it says there's any on hand, there's a chance they could have them locked up in the back
I find it embarrassing that the CEO of Playstation doesn't appreciate the PS1 and PS2, especially since those two consoles are the reason the Playstation brand is so successful. They really need someone else in charge of Playstation.
Even the Series X emulates Playstation 2 better :)
What are you talking about? lol
@@MorrisseyMuse You can emulate PS2 games on the Xbox Series X and S. Look into it. It's honestly really interesting. You can emulate a ton of retro consoles on Series X|S.
@@rorabeyond2002 I’m pretty sure they were replying to the original comment
@@MorrisseyMuse The CEO was dumb enough to ask who would want to play Gran Turismo on ps1 given how “OLD” it looked. It’s pretty god damn embarrassing. They made it clear that backwards compatibility would not be a focus for the PS5 (how they can say that and immediately follow it up with PlayStation Now…your guess is as good as mine.)
In my opinion, Jim Ryan is the Don Mattrick of modern-day Playstation and he is going to damage the brand in a similar way Don did to Xbox in the late 2000s - early 2010s.
To be fair, his move to get PlayStation games on PC is actually a good thing. It's the only decision he's made so far that's been good with zero downsides.

My only complaint about PlayStation games moving over to PC is that it doesn't give me much of an incentive to buy a PlayStation console. The PS5 feels like it lacks any real personality or identity just like the Xbox Series X in my opinion. At least Nintendo has exclusive games that give me reasons to care about their hardware.
@@Nin10Guy agreed. I have a laptop that can run games really well, and that’s not even its main purpose. If I knew that going in, I probably wouldn’t have bought the PS5.
@@MichaelM28 I bet you are a fanboy yourself.
@@Nin10Guy that’s not true, not all PlayStation exclusives are coming to pc, and even the ones that do are coming like a year or two down the line, and plus games still run consistently better on ps5 due to stuttering problems on pc, and at the end of the day if you want a console to play PlayStation games , you have to buy ps5. And consoles are always more popular than pcs due to it appealing to casuals more.
The one thing to keep in mind about the future of PlayStation is what the next exclusives will be like outside of what's already been announced. People shouldn't be surprised if a lot of these unannounced titles end up being more multiplayer focused.
You can get PS5s pretty regularly on Amazon or Walmart online for retail.
Yup! I've even seen some in store at my local Best Buy over the past month.
A excellent overview of the illusive PS5 Adam, you nailed the issues good & bad with it quite well, thanks for your opinions on it!
I finally can get a PS5 on occasion at my local Boise Idaho Gamestop but they are in a $800 bundle with a game & price I just can't get behind, sadly.
I'm waiting for the slim to come out. It better be out next year!
A lot of their big games like Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, and God of War Ragnarok are still built and released for the PS4. Plus, I'm sure all of those games will eventually go to PC like the previous games in those franchises. I'm not sure what makes this so different from the Series X.
@@MichaelM28 Those are lower tier games and half of those are remakes. Big whoop.
@@politicalfisticuffs9531 Those are all big seller games. They may not be what you like but they are big blockbuster titles. What are you smoking? Lower tier games would be something like Dynasty Warriors.
@@The_Soulbutcher I'm just saying they're lower than God of War, Horizon and Spider-Man. Those are the biggest blowout games. I'm not sure how good the new Ratchet game is but it's definitely past its heyday and I'm not sure if it was specifically a console seller.
@@politicalfisticuffs9531 The last of us part one not being as big as those titles? I at least knew of that game for a while and only just heard of horizon forbidden West (I mostly play retro games). I mean they gave the last of us a LOT of praise on the review that Xplay did on G4.
@@MichaelM28 Ratchet and Clank is my favorite game series of all time, and even I can agree that the last really good game in the series was like 11 years ago. All 4 One I think it was.
The PS5 is not selling amazingly in Japan because Japan is not a focus market for Sony. Sony has publicly stated this, and they therefore do not prioritize shipments to the country. Every PS5 shipped to Japan sells instantly due to the insanely low volume they receive.
Partially, I'm literally in Japan right now. They actually do this through a lottery system.
@@AdamKoralik Nice and yeah I’ve heard. I have a few friends there that have been struggling to secure a unit through lottery.
This comment aged well ..
It’s crazy to think how much the PS5 has adopted a lot of what the Xbox represents, that being based on PC architecture, popular western made games and online multiplayer. Nintendo is dominating Japan and PlayStation is losing it’s identity
It is rather a weird world. I much preferred Playstation back with PS3. I just couldn't get into PS4 and favoured the Xbox one X which was such a brilliant underutilised piece of tech. I am still blown away how Red Dead Redemption 2 looks on it today. i do have a Spiderman PS4 pro too though as i just love that design :) . I don't even like Spiderman but had to have the console lol. With the Xbox One X i have the Cyberpunk 2077 Ltd one which just looks so good.
One thing you didn't mention that I'm actually really happy that Jim Ryan has done is allow for some Playstation exclusives to be ported to PC. By allowing older titles which have already seen most of their initial sales numbers plateau already, they are able to massively increase their sales of the ported game with very little impact to the performance of the PS5 itself since there's not that much overlap between the two markets.
These last few years have been a great time for PC gamers with Microsoft all but giving up on console exclusives and Sony now starting to move in the same direction. I think this is a really positive trend that I hope continues
Your knowledge about the video game industry is truly amazing. Unbias and simply just makes sense. This was a great Video!!!!
I finally got my Ps5 a few months ago and haven’t really use it. Waiting for Spider-Man 2 next year
Shoppers drug mart in Canada is a sleeper place to get physical media, consoles, and peripherals. You don't expect shoppers drug mart to have a video game section but if it's a "full size" shoppers itll likely be tucked in the back somewhere. Fun fact: they also have seniors 20% discount days EVERY Thursday for those over 55. Granted as you might expect their selection is pretty limited but you can get stuff that I imagine very rarely goes on sale like controllers, system seller games, and consoles themselves at a decent discount. I am not aware of any limitations on this discount (such as a spending limit) besides the age requirement.
Crazy 8 months later and not only did Jim Ryan reject a 3 year deal but he secured a 10 year deal of COD with I believe a higher split of the revenue than what they had with Acitivision.
The man is arrogant for sure but he got a better deal in the end.
Microsoft actually recently started allowing limited run to do small print runs of games for Xbox.
"Oh I remember Sonic I used to play that on the Sega machine" lmao
Great video as always Adam! Watched both anniversary vids from the past couple days. Never disappoints!
I was in walmart yesterday in my country here in Central America, and the PS5 cost is US$1,250!!, with that price is reaaally hard to be gamer in this region.
Great video
Been watching this series for years,
I’m sorry about your old home and the explosion, how everything is good now,
If it’s in you I’d still be very interested in a video on switch even tho it’s past the birthday release, hope you can do it 😬
7:30 I would actually like for you to make a video about that. As someone who watches long form content while they do other things It would be nice to use video games as proxy to learn more about something like globalization.
Eh, there's people more qualified for that than me. The end of globalization is a huge subject, making it JUST about gaming hardware is a bit difficult.
Honestly one thing I’m really on board with abt Adam is the whole all digital future I’m also a guy who really loves his physical media especially if your a collector just something abt looking behind you or wherever in ur game room at the shelf’s of all your games you have stored and collected over the years just gives you the sense of accomplishment or something idk maybe it’s just me but I really don’t wanna see physical games be thrown away to where the only way you can play them is through digital downloads I remember watching a Scott the woz video on digital only consoles and towards the end of the video he said something like I don’t see an all digital fire just more as an option now he could be wrong on that just have to wait and see but honestly I’m with him on that make an opinion instead of a force thing to do if ppl wanna go out including myself to buy a video game from say GameStop or Walmart etc then let ‘em or if ppl just prefer buying them digitally on the PlayStation sore or Microsoft store that’s fine too just don’t make it to wear your only option is to buy it off the Microsoft store digitally only when ppl like myself will honestly go outta there way to buy it physically in a store just so they can go home put it on the shelf have it preserved a bit and if they wanna go sell it or trade it in they can do that too and so on to me it’s apart of history on how far we’ve come in gaming and just having something like that taken away idk just feels depressing to me knowing that we won’t be able to go out and buy games like that to put on our shelves and and more yk:(
It's not just video games. Physical music mediums are pratically dead. When I visit an audio hi-fi store that sells music aside from a big resurgence in vinyl, Cds are almost non-existent. DVD and Blu-Ray are being replaced by Netflix and digital streaming services. Sadly a world of digital file sharing and streaming seems to be the way the entertainment media wants us to go. I'm like you and Adam, I love collecting physical games and want physical games and consoles to continue to exist but it's hard to see it continuing.
Damn didn't know about the passing of Bernie Stolar. I have fond memories of him and the Dreamcast.
I hate Sony & their current philosophy on shunning backwards compatiblity
@@MichaelM28
That’s not backwards compatibility that’s reselling old titles
I hate that as well.
@@MichaelM28 The CD has a patent shared by Sony & Philips! So they COULD have put in that compatibility, if they wanted to...
@@MichaelM28
That’s Sony’s fault, they were to cheap to equip their discdrive with the possibility to read a disc format that is still being sold
The PS5 is another in the line of amazing consoles; the PlayStation seems to get even more phenomenal with each release!
The console is still rarely available where I live and Sony had the nerve to Jack up the price. Utterly nasty behavior
@@MichaelM28
I am done by this fake excuse
That’s outside the USA
@@MichaelM28 it's called bullshit
@@theshadowman1398 lol well since you can't get one don't have to worry about the price.
@@shortyorc121
Yeah I will just enjoy my series X that is available for purchase because Microsoft actually can manufacture them.
jim ryan is what Don Mattrick was to Xbox he has caused so much damage to the brand really hope Sony wake up and get rid of him
I live in Utah, and have nephews that live in New Zealand that came to visit during the summer this year. While we were on vacation in St. George (southern Utah) we found a PS5 at a Walmart. They bought it right away. That is the first and last time I have seen one in retail. It's crazy. I am also old, and hate that games will become 100% digital at some point, but it is what it is I guess, things change....
Japan sales as of 11/12/2022 are as follows:
PS5: 2,070,000
XBS: 380,000
PS5 is up 1,690,000 units in Japan, and the gap is growing fast with stock becoming more available.
Sony plans to ship more than 18 Million units this year, which is just short of PS4’s peak production of 20 Million.
I really don’t understand the hardcore gamers. Our industry is growing, and offering more premium products, and more entry level products. We should be celebrating both sides, but instead we fight to the detriment of our own hobby.
I'm literally in Japan, right now. This isn't exactly how it works here. It's entirely based on a lottery system. But yes, demand is going up.
@@AdamKoralik So are saying that because people buy them on a lottery system the sales numbers being reported are not accurate. Pretty confused man. That doesn’t make any sense.
@@tarantinoish I'm just saying the numbers aren't quite what they appear. Don't misunderstand, the PS5 is still winning. But it's not quite the chasm it appears as far as actual SOLD. It appears to include waiting lists eventually distributed via a lottery system. At least that's how it was presented to me.
Wouldn't this lottery system affect the actual numbers reported sold for Xbox as well? All signs show that ps5 has recently hit 2 million in Japan recently if you include both the base model and digital one as well
@@playstationwins8459 I don't really claim to know the inner workings of that system. US military presence does seem to make it a tad easier to get a Series X though.
I saw one a few Friday nights ago for the first time at a Walmart and it shocked me but I just couldn’t bring myself to buy it… 🤷♂️
Yep, I still remember the moment & the future.. "Saturn is NOT our Future!". and, Sega Saturn is my favor console of ALL Time!
Solid encapsulation of everything that happened with the PS5 over the past 2 years. One other thing that wasn't mentioned that really chaps my hide is the increased game price to 70. That was another insult to the fans, and a terrible move on Sony's part. And I'm a Sony pony, but the anti-consumer moves have gotten out of hand, and I'd be the first to admit it.
What's crazy is before the covid lockdowns, I was exited for the PS5.
Then during and after the lockdowns, I realized what was really important and so I did not buy the PS5.
Instead, I bought a pistol with ammo and learned how to use it; I never looked back.
Now I am into collecting & shooting Guns instead of Games, I highly recommend people going to their local range and giving it a chance.
I was really expecting you to talk more about the new VR headset. Seems like they are putting alot of eggs in that basket.
I really have nothing to say about that other than...seems like a mistake.
@@AdamKoralik we will see, but its obvious they've put alot of effort into it. Even at its high price point, it's very good value from a VR standpoint.
650 EUR everywhere in stores for a new model with BR. 470 EUR for digital edition. Idk if it changed, or just where I live is very different.
13:51 never change Adam. Oh my god hahaha.
Im from Portugal and its just impossible to get a PS5 for normal retail price. Xbox and Nintendo Switch are easily available at retail. Its really frustrating because Playstation is where i play most of the time..
i wanna know who drops urs and mrmario2011 videos at the same time like maybe a min in difference lol
We just think alike I suppose.
ADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM! Hope life's treating ye well, man!
I hope Jim Ryan gets fired by Sony of Japan.
@@MichaelM28 Actually I'm a PC gamer.
I appreciate the original content bro, very good overview ❤️
A major part of the global supply chain crisis, is that the crypto mining boom happened at the same time. So not only can less PS5s get made, but also semiconductors are in MASSIVE demand at the exact same time.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sony had to send out some insepctors in person to keep their production partners honest. That they make sure they follow their production contracts to the T. Because AMD could easily pull a fast one and use their PS5 fabrication capacity to make stuff that was WAY more in demand.
2 years and I still haven't seen one of these either
fucking love these retrospectives i always look forward to these every year!
Where i live (London, England) it is pretty easy to purchase PS5's and Xbox Series S & X, brand new. I see them pretty regularly in big name stores (Argos, Game, Curry/PC World)
Is not just that but Playstation did everything to tell the Japanese "we don't want you anymore". From the echii censoring with no clear guidelines that is worse than Nintendo ever was and had the Japanese developers that were all in making games on Playstation lose appetite for it, to changing the buttons etc.
The success of the PS4 that was based on advice from the America Sony branch made them go all in to making Playstation American and ignoring their origins.
Also their obsession with Call of Duty and their declaration of focusing on AAA titles at the start of PS5 shows how wrong they got their priorities.
It's true that those games sell the most and that casual are the main buyers that buy those games BUT they ignore the influence of people like us.
Those big titles will be on Xbox and PC etc anyway. If you have a big AAA title you are not gonna leave it with Playstation, you are gonna want to have it everywhere to get those big sales.
So what made Playstation sell like hot cakes all this generations? The smaller indie and Japanese titles that they are now ignoring. Because the Call of Duty guy will have his Call of Duty no matter what he bought but if one console also had this funny games the other didn't then why not buy the one giving him more choice?
Playstation had the big AAA titles that Xbox had, had great Sony exclusives and also had all the quirky Japanese games Nintendo and Sega used to get.
It had everything and that made it a great buy. Now they are just trying to be an Xbox with some Sony exclusives. Is no longer the great buy it used to be.
And is funny how they don't notice how successful the Switch is that made all those devs Sony is kicking away make their little games for it. If all that matters is having the big AAA titles then why is the Switch selling amazing well and is a great success?
They should have also made the PS5 play music and play old Playstation games etc. It doesn't matter if that is not direct money because you get nothing from the dude putting the PS2 disc in his PS5. It helps the sales and goodwill in other ways. We will be making a fuss how amazing PS5 is because of it and the Call of Duty guy will hear that noise and get that to play Call of Duty.
Sony lost the concept of how good rumours and positive mouth to mouth and noise help. They think they will just sell because they can make Spider man and God of War with excusive Call of Duty features.
You can actually find a PS5 in store but not in the major stores. I checked all the big tech stores in my country and none had them. Then i went to some small tech selling shops and there it was.
That's not what happened...Phil Spencer took it to a public forum which in turn made Microsoft commit to keeping COD on PlayStation.
Thanks again, Adam. I'm really enjoying the new God of War but there's nothing I've played on the system that I couldn't have played on my ps4. The machine is good. We buy new consoles to play new games.
My brother managed to get one at Best Buy a couple of months ago. As for me, I bought a Series X earlier this year and I'm quite happy with it.
At the pace of modern game development there’s no reason to buy a console in the first few years, the ps4 was the same way. For the first couple of years I didn’t play anything but remasters on the ps4 until the good games came out. This is the same. When they’re cheaper and have good games out that’s when I’ll buy. It’s a win win really- being an early adopter is never a wise idea.
I've been done with consoles and MS since before 2018. The last one I had was the Switch but got my money back for it in 2020.
Adam, I really enjoy your content.
I'm a married father of two.... I can't possibly get all of the info without someone like you giving me the scoop!
WiiU is about to make 10 years anniversary. Since you like WiiU so much are you gonna do a video about it ?
There's really nothing to say.
@@AdamKoralik At least do the 5 years later Nintendo Switch. Doesn't matter if it's late. I just think Switch doesn't have the hardware to keep up for another year
I love these videos and look forward to them every year from you.
Always enjoy watching these! Thanks dude
Wow! You actually found a PlayStation 5 at shoppers drug Mart that's unheard of here in Canada.
Dude Phil Spencer just had his Bernie Stolar two days ago when he claimed Xbox can't make the same great games and Sony and Nintendo. To me that sounds like if you want top of the line games get a PS5 or Switch.
also RIP Bernie Stolar
I still can’t find one after two years
Expected to hear more about PS5 games -- which feel not very much, both to come out so far and to come out in near future.
I'm a Casual Gamer, I concore what Adam is saying and i do not this merger of Activision Bizzard and Microsoft.
€880 at CEX is just what they do with in demand technology.
Anything that's not in stock and has demand gets a big price hike at CEX - that's how they profit.
Steam Deck was similar when it was unavailable, and CEX have been around for 20 years. The first one was in London.
Here's a comment to help your channel. Thanks Adam
as a teenager I can tell you that the love of physical media is not reserved for older gamers, that being said i'm also a linux hipster, so not exactly the core market audience.
Lov3 your year reviews
No, Adam, perpetuate the lie that people like you and I are the majority of gamers! Haha, I always love when you make these, you are a joy to listen to, my friend. I hope you’re having a good weekend
Whilst not my most personally disappointing console, the PS5 has basically been my dedicated Spider-Man console
Which now that it's on PC, has been collecting dust ever since
Will Sony make Blood Will Tell downloadable on PS5?
Doubt it.
Ps3 60gb was whole different animal that played ps2, ps1, cd, sacd, multiple memory ports ....Ps5 plays games and movies,what else is there to take!?😕
this is why you game on pc if you're passionate about games. This whole console thing is just....kind of sad
I actually saw for the first time a PS5(disc) at my local walmart a couple of weeks ago. Would have definitely bought it if I didn't have a car note.
This is the first I've heard of "The end of globalization." I do think you're on to something and will look into it more deeply. Thanks for making a broader perspective.
End of Globalization is like End of History, its an absurd over-statement and not actually ending anytime soon. Theres trouble specifically with China and now Russia, that doesn’t mean trade is dropping with other countries.
PS5s at least on track with PS4s, its not that PS5s are rare, its that Sony cant get TSMC to crank out more chips to meet insane pandemic demand. With apple etc revising production down you will see space opening up although will take nearly a year to be felt with lead times.
The U.S. invested in Intel primarily for weapons components. Its not because they want to make tons of consumer chips at home.
I agree with most of what you say on the PS5, not sure there will ever be a “non-globalization” theory. The vast majority of cost to produce shit is labor. Labor markets will always shift as developing countries become net consumer countries. Corporate buyers will always follow the lowest cost, regardless of where that may be.
I also disagree with this notion that the globalization is coming to an end. The fact is the United States and by extension Canada are not suddenly going to be building factories to make smartphones and electronics just because we are no longer on friendly terms with China not to mention the cost of building these factories an operating them would be so much higher than just outsourcing to another developing country.
Honestly you don't want them to reduce cost too much as that is what leads to reliability issues. From what i am hearing mostly people are not having reliability issues with either PS5 or Series X/S compared to last gen which is great news. Corner cutting is why modern cars are so terribly unreliable on average.
@@DEVILTAZ35 You are comparing lower cost labor with quality. Console makers, e.g. Microsoft and Sony, are the ones who dictate quality specs in manufacturing. If a product sucks because it was poorly designed, that is on the console maker. The manufacturer, who is selected by the console maker through a bid process, is given a quality parameter. The parameter is usually something like, no more than 3 in 100 units may fail, or, the manufacturer pays a penalty. So it doesn't matter the reduction in cost as long as the quality measure is in place.
@@GenerationZ313 i disagree with your statement about globalization. Globalization is coming to an end the only difference is that USA will get hit the hardest when does come to an end since USA relies alot on other countries. For example USA gets between 30 to 40 percent of its medicine from China so if China invades Tawian and USA puts sanctions on China then return China can stop selling medicine and steel to USA as its town sanctions that will hurt USA also look at Russia its the number 1 exporter of Grain and Fertilizer if USA makes the sanction tougher of Russia then return Russia can stop exporting Grain and Fertilizer to USA which will hurt USA.
Great video. Good insight.
been looking forward to this one
I honestly can't stop seeing the PS5 as Seto Kaiba....
The store where it was €880 was CeX. They always charge way over the odds, for the simple fact that you can trade any old crap towards it, something you can’t do at most other places. Highly unlikely that anyone will be paying the cash price in full.
I know where it was, I filmed it.
Physical forever, you don’t own your digital purchases
It's weird what things Shopper's has and doesn't have. I think I saw a Series X there once, a year ago.
The PS5 is so massive that it is casting a shadow on Adam's face. Now I guess after all these years of Adam shooting in this same room I can finally know that the windows are to his right.
Actually that's where the fill light is, these are shot at night.
@@AdamKoralik Nice. A look behind the scenes, I guess.
One of those videos that kept my attention. Very interesting commentary
@adamkoralik
Are you going to do a switch anniversary video and predictions in march of 2023 cause its insane how awesome the switch is how long it has gone I wont lie I had a v1 then a switch lite turquoise but now days I own a oled and a v2 with hori pads
Probably yeah.
@@AdamKoralik I wont lie the ps5 and xbox series x doesnt interest me for a few reasons they prices went sky high and places still have a hard time getting them and scalpers will always get away with everything so this gen really isnt the best it's a flop
If I already own a PS4 Pro and a Gaming PC with more power than a PS5 is it even worth me buying a PS5 seeing as how all the big titles from Sony come to PC (Sony stated PS5 will get at least 1 year exclusivity on all first party titles)
10:42 Jim Ryan, obviously no relation to Jack Ryan, the badass creation of Tom Clancy
I still like playstation but I hate jim ryan
No mention of the exclusives? :/
I'm showing a stack of them...on the table...for the entire video.
Jim Ryan pulling his hair out in pure rage at the loss of literally just Call Of Duty is really funny to me. A $68.7 billion purchase of tons of legacy franchises like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Diablo, Warcraft and more. But nah, those COD numbers just do not lie. People buy that God-forsaken series like nothing else.
Also, another point to Sony/Jim Ryan's apathetic attitude towards Japan with the PS5. As you know, since the PS1, the "X" has been used as the "Accept" button, whereas the "O" button has been used as "back/cancel" The Nintendo/Microsoft equivalent of this is of course "A" for accept and "B" for cancel. However, in Japan, it's been the reverse for Sony since the PS1. "X" is "cancel" and "O" is accept. This has carried over for every Japanese PlayStation release. However, starting with the PS5, the non Japanese system is now used for PS5 in Japan and "O" is cancel for them now. I'd be pretty unhappy with a change like that, personally.
No joke the new Rachet and Clank is the best game ever made IMHO. But you need a good 4K tv to do it justice
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the 10ish live service games greenlit from Sony and how unsustainable its getting for them to make these single player AAA games that are costing more and more to produce. Their PS4 generation is defined by their single player narrative games, but how true will that be by the end of the PS5 gen?
Sony made the PS5 a product for rich people. While on Xbox you can just keep your old Xbox VCR and just pay game pass
You forgot to mention the price increase that happened everywhere BUT the USA
We got the price increase too, they just gave us a digital copy of Horizon to make it look like we didn't.
you have a nice stack of physical games, but can you play them without a day 1 download? i haven't had a console since ps3 so I'm genuinely asking
Honestly not sure, I always just let them do what they need to.
Funny how they're opposed to Xbox with the Activision buyout when Sony themselves bought out insomniac games just a few years ago.
I have a ps1, ps2, ps3, ps4, had a psp and a vita. Now I am playing on an xbox, for the first time, all thx to Jim Ryan, there is no way I will pay for a PS5 as long he has that job
Adam,
I think you summed it up right when you said that the PS5 is the best PS4 that exists. We haven’t gotten hardly any PS5 exclusives. If PlayStation forgets their future or their legacy, then they would be doing a disservice to gamers. I hope that once the PS5’s are more readily available that more PS5 exclusive games will come out. As a PS plus subscriber I wish they would have more of their catalog from previous generations in the service, but I also understand the digital rights for past games sometimes get into complicated territory. I’ve been blessed to get a PS5 a few months ago, they just happen to have one at a GameStop I was at, and I bought it right away.
So I am hoping that in 2023, as more people get PS5’s that more games will come out. It doesn’t make sense to have too many PS5 exclusives until you have a large install base. We will see. The future of PlayStation looks a little rocky right now
I wish they would stop censoring video games for no reason.
It's not "no reason." Just an incredibly stupid reason.
I got my ps5 online at Walmart finally I got big big plans for when it arrives.
Good video.
Adam is the type of guy to let the cops go with a warning.
