Well, I don't think the PS4 hit its wall to the point that it would not be able to play those games, but hey, if you are excited for those games that Sony decided were going to be playable only on PS5 (even though they could totally be playable on PS4) then I say go for it. It is not my place to tell you what you should or should not be excited about. What I don't understand is how you have felt the need to go on this 6-months crusade trying to convince everybody else that they should not be excited about the XSX.

Because a next console generation should be exciting. If you don't care and are fine with playing the same games we've been playing since 2013, then good for you. I do care about these things and so far all MS's been doing is dampen my enthusiasm whenever Phil gives another interview.

MAybe you've forgotten about the May event and it's still not entirely clear what MS is doing. But unless you'll be watching MS's 1st party stream in 120fps, you will maybe realize why their whole new consumer friendly strategy is pissing me off. Not saying everybody should share my opinion and maybe there are plenty of people who got excited after seeing Dirt 5 just because it's running in 120fps. I'm just saying these next gen consoles should be able to do a lot more exciting stuff then what Phil Spencer is telling us. 

What I gather from all your responses is that you seem to be more excited about what Sony says than what Sony shows. Jim Ryan promised you "something new, something different, that can really only be enjoyed on PS5" and that seems to be have been ingrained in your brain even if he shows something totally different from what he actually said, but again, do you.

But I don't understand why MS's strategy pisses you off so much. I mean, whatever MS decides to do with their 1st party games is not going affect the games you play on your PS5. I mean, Spiderman and Sackboy will continue to be "something new, something different, that can really only be enjoyed on PS5" regardless of what MS does with Halo, so their decision literally has no effect on you.
