I thought the big thing with these ninth gen consoles was that they were powerful enough upon release that's there's no need for a mid gen refresh this time.

sigh literally just got my PS5 like 8 months ago.

Why do gamerstm get excited about being exploited like this instead of getting mad about being ripped off?

Lol some slightly better frame rates and visuals at best.

Who is this even for?

Their bank accounts. There's hoards of "new tech" cucks and Sony fanboys to bankroll it even if it's unnecessary. I don't normally use the word cuck as a pejorative but it's very apt here. Daddy Sony telling them it's time to spend their money, etc. etc.

You're fine, my original PS4 lasted me through the previous whole gen, our original PS5s will last us through this one.

Sony fanboys are fucked. At least the PC masterrace freaks have a fairly open platform that allows indie devs and fan mods and stuff to thrive oretty well at different price points.

At least Nintendo has a moderate level of quality in software and changes in hardware design all the time.

Sony fanboys exist and their trawl every comment section to ask people why they'd want to not have a game be always online and make petitions to try to get gyro-aiming removed from a game. Just absolute dregs of gamer-freaks.

Honestly, the whole camp thing is juvenile in general. I'm locked into Sony's ecosystem at this point because it's my comfort zone and I haven't had the need to be elsewhere. I adopted PC gaming very late and so never took to it (I need a controller like a little bitch). That being said, I'd rather break every one of my own toes than behave like a fanboy for any megacorp.

Wait, why would sony fanboys want to make petitions to remove gyro aim? Doesn't the playstation controller have a gyro?

Yeah. They've got me fucked if they think I'm buying any sort of pro console.
