Sony is releasing very few new games? Maybe this year. Not like the PS5 didn't get a lot ot great games this year even as Sony got a slow year.

Sony new games since the PS5: Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Returnal, God of War Ragnarok + Valhalla, Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Forbidden West, Spider Man 2 and Astro Bot... all pretty good or great games up until now.

You are sidestepping the matter of availability that was raised a couple of times already.

If you ever had a PS3, you can play the original TLOU. If you have a PS4 you can play the remaster. If you have a PS5, you could already play the remaster through BC but now you also have the second remaster. On top of all that, these consoles have sold 87, 117m and 60m and counting.

The only way to play XCX up until this release was on Wii U. A 13m selling console without any BC alternatives for its games.

For the record, I am fine with ports from all companies in 90% of situations. I do find the PS4->PS5 a waste when you can perfectly good version already available on the console. My point is that there is a pretty obvious reason that one remaster got a better reception than the other and it's not only a matter of different fanbases.

Yeah I don't think BraLoD is gonna win this argument, sorry BraLoD haha.

First off your list of new Sony games on PS5 is not impressive at all. Is that the entire list?? I hope not because there's barely any games on there. That's literally 2 games a year. Maybe if it was two years ago that would have been a decent list at least. That list looks about comparable to the Switch's 2017/2018, but for 4 full years that's pretty bad.

And yeah Sony is re-releasing games you can already play on the system, and that probably most Playstation gamers have already played on the PS3 or PS4 and can still play if they have their PS4 copy.

Nintendo releasing games from the WiiU (and occasionally the Wii or GC), which nobody can play on the Switch, and which barely anyone played on the WiiU (cuz ya know, it was the WiiU lol), which means Nintendo is bringing games that are brand new to the Switch and will be brand new to the vast majority of gamers. That is always going to be much more exciting than Sony releasing the same game for like the third time which can already be played on the system anyway. It'd be almost like if you could already play XCX on NSO and they are now trying to sell an updated version for as a full title...yeah that would not be interesting at all.

I am not a fan of this constantly re-releasing the same games over and over system after system. And that seems to be a strategy Sony has fully embraced. What Nintendo is doing is entirely different. If all these old games they brought to the Switch were again re-released next-gen on Switch 2 as updated versions of the same game that everyone can already play with bc on the Switch 2...that would be lame, and that would be what Sony has been doing. I have zero interest in Switch 2 re-releases of Switch games, but I have lots of interest in old Nintendo games that you can't play these days unless you kept your old systems or perhaps maybe I played before 15-20 years ago but never beat getting brought to Switch so that with the Switch (and presumably Switch 2 with backwards compatibility) we have a mostly complete library of all Nintendo's greatest games throughout time, but without having multiple versions of the same game on the same system lol
