I will say the same thing I said when MS was getting fucking roasted on this site by the Sony crowd for their cross gen strategy: It doesn’t really matter.
What next gen only games have we seen on PS5? Returnal, Demons Souls, and that car game with the shitty MTX? I think that’s it? Maybe Godfall, but isn’t it on PC? And what incredible mechanics or gameplay have we seen that couldn’t be done on PS4? Nothing. Everything just looks better thanks to better hardware and loads faster thanks to the SSD. The first year or so of a new gen almost always is just an extension of last gen. I’d expect it to last longer this gen because of COVID.
I also don’t think it will affect console sales much because all of these consoles are selling out quickly.
So if there was no COVID, Sony might have had a year one on PS5 with Horizon 2, Ragnarok, and GT7. Even Horizon, when it was revealed it was said that things like swimming and flying were meant to be in the first game but the PS4 wasn’t strong enough. Low and behold Horizon 2 is coming to PS4 and there’s swimming, and presumably flying? The cross gen effect is vastly overrated.
