Best part of 9th Gen consoles so far?

It's a good upgrade. Obviously if you feel 8th gen consoles are too slow and too low of resolutions than 9th gen consoles are essential. Most must-play games are still on Xbox One, PS4, and Switch.
For me, the SSD is the big gamechanger.

I'm not a hardcore gamer by any means but it's crazy to me that if your gaming like 10 plus hours a week and don't want to  upgrade your gaming hardware for a better experiance after 5-7 years, SSD plus going from 30 to 60fps makes your games look and play much  better and it really is small investment if you trade in your ps4-ps4 pro considering the upgrade will last you for 5 years easy. plus the exclusives are coming so why wait?

Admittedly, some people are late adopters. They may not have gotten a PS4 or Xbox One until at least 2019, if not 2020-present.

I don't disagree with you, though. If someone is spending hundreds if not over a thousand hours gaming a year plus spending hundreds or more USD to game it seems foolish not to move on because you think the next system doesn't have enough new features or next-gen only titles. You're investing so much of your time and money to game already, but you stubbornly won't get a new system by trading in your old or even keeping your old system and still buying the new system.

There are some people on this site and others still saying a Series X/S and PS5 aren't worth it yet as of July 2024. Unless you're thrifty, casual, or a late adopter, I don't get it. Take a game like Horizon: Zero Dawn. Taking a gaming PC out of the equation, it runs better on PS5 than a PS4 or PS4 Pro.
