How is this the end of the cycle? Is it because there are rumored mid-cycle upgrades like the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X coming soon, or have console cycles really shortened from 7/8 years to 4?

i think i might have misspoke... they will release mid cycle upgrades this fall?

But is anyone going to upgrade? Where is value prop?

I think market is saturated at this point. covid demand is over.

i guess let's see what happens

I think I agree with you. I was honestly extremely tempted to buy a PS5 for the single player sequels Sony’s put out recently (Horizon FW, God of War R, and SM 2) but it’s become clear they’re all coming to PC so fuck it I can be patient.

Here’s hoping Sony wises up and greenlights a PS5 (with a lil PC side release) remaster of Bloodborne
