RIP on my part after owning every single PlayStation home console so far (finally caved in and bought a PS5 under a year ago). I don't want to be at the mercy of a single party like Sony. It's fortunate that Sony is making this fairly easy: the prices have been terrible for this whole generation and are only getting worse, and there's not enough interesting exclusives to make investing into their hardware worth it. I don't really expect prices to become reasonable enough even after PS5, and the exclusive situation is also unlikely to get better, because games take longer and longer to make.
The only thing that could improve the exclusive situation for me is studios making better choices: Naughty Dog has clearly takes missteps along the way, with such a long gap between games and Intergalactic not looking too interesting so far. Insomniac has a very heavy focus on superhero games, which I couldn't care much less about. I'm sure they sell well, but I just don't care about them. The rest I don't have anything in particular to say about, so I guess they're doing OK and don't really have much room for improvement (for me at least).
