Yeah by this point in its lifespan the PS3 had Uncharted 1/2, Killzone 2, God of War III, Resistance 1/2, Infamous, Motorstorm 1/2, Little Big Planet, Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction & Crack in Time, Bioshock 1/2, COD Modern Warfare 1/2 and World at War, Dead Space, GTA4, Red Dead Redemption, Batman Arkham Asylum, MGS4, Vanquish, Fallout 3...

PS5 absolutely pales in comparison.

COVID, diminishing returns, and rising costs are to blame. But if we are to count multiplats, crossgen and console-exclusives, PS5 arguably has the better library. It's subjective.

That's the thing though, the PS3 justified itself with a ton of great software that was not only unavailable but impossible on PS2; by contrast, nearly 4 years after its release, PS5 still feels like a PS4 Pro Pro rather than its own generation.

While we can blame diminishing returns, the pandemic, and the economy for that, at the end of the day, people are allowed to feel that the PS5 is underwhelming and has yet to justify its existence.
