I wonder how many people wanting to get a PS5 are getting a Series S instead for the time being just so they can play multiplats without needing to use the PS4 for them anymore. Shame a console with such high demand is getting its full first year significantly held back like this.

A friend of mine did this. He plans on keeping the Series S for Microsoft exclusives and indies down the line. A Series S + PS5 seems vastly more affordable than a PS5+ gaming PC these days too, so if you want to be in both ecosystems on a budget that seems to be the way to go

It really does seem that out of the three the PS5 will be harmed by far the most due to the shortages. The gap between the Xbox Series and PS5 would've widened in normal circumstances after this holiday season but it's looking like it might shrink instead.

It’s been over 5 years since reveal and this dumb argument that Switch is just a handheld remains…..

Yeah it seems so obvious to me that it counts for both since it's literally a hybrid so I've never understood people trying to say it's only one of them.
