    Very reasonable take. I’d like to toss a little bit of credit Sony’s way for their excellent controller design at least! I’ll keep buying consoles so long as games are still sold on physical media for them

      Well, let me take a little bit of credit away from them then, because those controllers are needlessly mandatory, even for games that don’t make use of its features! How do you think fighting game players felt about that right as Sony bought the world’s biggest fighting game tournament and made all tournaments run on PS5? lol

        You mean to tell me they couldn’t plug in their own USB controllers?!

          You can plug them in, but PS4 format controllers don’t work on PS5 games; they only work on PS4 versions of games. You know, for all of that fancy rumble that’s meaningless when you’re playing Guilty Gear on a fightstick.
