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.

I’ve genuinely seen 0 improvement in video games from the PS3 to the PS5

doubt

This is not me standing up for the peepeepoopoo 5, just saying that's a wide enough time span where there's been a pretty noticeable amount of turnover in design tends, etc. Plenty of games from the seventh gen absolutely feel dated

Bethesda: 2002>2012: Morrowind to Skyrim, huge changes in gaming

Ubisoft: 2003>2013: Prince of Persia to AC: Black Flag, huge changes

Rockstar: 2004>2014: GTA: SA to GTA5 , huge changes

Naughty Dog: 2004>2014: Jak 3 to Last of Us, huge changes

The biggest game companies are just re releasing their 7th gen games over and over again
