Poor upgrade.

I've hardly used the Series X at all since I bought it. I already played Halo Infinite and FH5 on PC, then Starfield and FM8 were disappointments. The Series X has spend more time playing 4K blu-rays than games. And that's only half a dozen movies.

PS5 is massive, awkward to handle. I rather played GT7 on PS4 Pro than PS5. Different (friendlier) racing crowd in the PS4 version and for graphics it hardly makes any difference. The SSD is of course nice but game sizes did not decrease as 'promised'. It's always full, annoying.

One essential upgrade is PSVR2 and that's where all my gaming time goes nowadays. More VR games fit on the SSD (most smaller games), short loading times in VR are a must and HDR in VR is amazing.

Yep, I'd consider PSVR 2 essential but it's so pricey and they still have that damn wire even though it's nice to see they've done away with the damn breakout box, that thing was so inconvenient. However the narrative now is that VR is dying, Sony are giving up on it and it's going the way of the vita. The Vita is still a great system as I'm sure PSVR 2 is and it'll be great to het one on the cheap sometime down the line. I do hope they keep the store alive though and that's my biggest fear with it. They tore down the store for PSVR on PS4, practically wiping it out of existence unless you used very specific title searching and even then some won't show up. It's good to see ya enjoying it though, at least some people are finding that joy in it and it's not a total disaster. I'm sure it'll be easy to reigilnite the VR craze again when the time comes since there is such a devout group of loyalists who are still showing love for it and that unprecedented attach rate should, hopefully be enough to get console publishers and Sony to look at it again. Probably when Meta or Valve or the like can make the hardware to the size and ease of swimming goggles. I still think console VR would have been the best had it worked out and there was no pandemic/economic slump. It had a really good chance. Such a pity. 

Alas, it's essential hardware for seemingly inessential hardware.
