The ps4/xbox one era deserves more flak than it gets. Say what you want about 7th gen but at least they found their footing and made some great exclusives; it also served as the stepping stone to HD for vidya. 8th gen just bumbled around the whole time until they were put out of their misery. And I can't think of any way they contributed to the gaming industry overall except as a detriment, such as the shifting towards digital media versus physical or mandatory online connections.

Once they made the consoles more like mini-PCs it was Microsoft's game to lose, and the only manufacturer who refused to play that game (Nintendo) was able to bank on decades of childhood nostalgia to keep people buying their hardware.
Sony's very Japanese tendency to blame any and all commercial failures on the western studios they've bought instead of themselves surely isn't helping, especially as their chief product of shitty movies disguised as video games are extremely port-able to Xbox hardware and all it takes is Microsoft waving some cash around to make another exclusive non-exclusive.

Sony cultivated a fanbase of lowest common denominator retards who have basically overtaken the entire "gamer" community. These retards don't want to play games, they want to watch movies. Unfortunately, cinematic AAA games are very expensive and either very hard to make, or the only people that want to make them are so incompetent and/or retarded that even with dev teams that can reach 1000+, they can't manage to get anything out in less than 5 years.
And instead of expanding the console cycle to 10-15 years, Sony is intent on keeping it at around 5 or 6. Thus, a lot of developers that focus on Playstation can only get out 1.5 games a generation.

As a sim racing nerd, GT7 is all I really need out of the PS5.
Yes there are "better" options for PC, but for some reason I just can't quit a game series that I've been a fan of for over 20 years, and 7 is still pretty fun to autisticly grind through.
But then again, I'm getting by with it on PS4, so...

The other part about GT7 still being available on PS4, is that aside from longer loading times on PS4, the only PS5-only features are 4-player splitscreen, which is still not working correctly due to a bug with player assists one the secondary players (I think), racing against Sophy AI, and compatibility with PSVR2. Are those features not considered to be important enough for you to the point of not wanting to upgrade?

If I were to upgrade it would be specifically for PSVR2, as I've got a PSVR1, which is a glorified, if not cool toy. VR mode in Sport was really cool even if it was just a glorified demo mode. (shit, all of Gran Turismo Sport is pretty much a demo, imho).
I've got better things to drop the 1k on that I would need for both the PS5 and the VR2, as my PC does need a few upgrades as I'm rolling on very old hardware.

The reason Sony still don't have any noteworthy exclusives is because they've completely and utterly fucked up on the back end. That billion dollar deal with Bungie was a colossal fuckup of unprecedented scale. They saw live service games as the future and immediately set out to develop, like, six of the fuckers. Live service games are notoriously hard to create, support, and keep running. They even wanted TLOU2's multiplayer to be one of these, and it almost immediately fell into permanent development hell.
They are desperately trying to course correct now after several other extraction shooters and live service games have flopped horrifically in the AAA market, but it's too late. I'd bet they have four or five of these projects in the can half-finished with five or so years of dev time and they have no idea what to fucking do with them now that all the dev talent has fallen off and the money is running out.
To make matters worse, the premiere devs they do have are systematically shitting the bed.
Insomniac just pinched out the fat woke turd that was Spiderman 2 to mixed acclaim, and the fact they have said they're going to be treating Miles as 'the' Spiderman should have gotten the head of Insomniac executed. Way to take a fat nigger shaped dump on your most profitable IP.
Druckmann killed Naughty Dog by literally ousting the other key figures of the company.
Suckerpunch produced the best exclusive they've had in years and the fact we have not seen hide nor hair of another game from them is really worrying, I have sneaking suspicions that they've been shoved into the live service box too.
Basically it's just all the wrong decisions at all the wrong times.

I basically see it from two angles:
1) The growth of PC gaming. PC gaming is up in all markets, but most especially in Japan (ironically enough - PC gaming is up in Japan largely because of early PS5 shortages). Since the eighth gen of consoles ended up just being anemic PC hardware and the XSX and PS5 are slightly-less anemic PC hardware, porting a console game to run on normal gaming PCs is almost a zero-cost endeavor. We're at the point where studios need to be retarded or paid off to not do a release on PC.
2) Shortages. Demand existed for PS5 and XSX early on but the years of shortages meant that a lot of people ended up sticking to PS4 or XBone. Let's say you're a third-party dev trying to make a game... You can either go absolutely apeshit on the graphics to sell it to a market of like 2 million, or you could just tune it to run on potatoes, release it on last-gen hardware, and maybe add a couple of touch-ups for next-gen console owners. Hell, if you potato-ify it enough, you can get it running on the Switch which mogs all the other consoles. No reason then to target the PS5 specifically.

and one must know/not forget that Japan is a video gaming console country, not pc gaming country so to see pc gaming rising in popularity in Japan is just wild

Killing off their Japanese studios and focusing on making a bunch of samey woke movie games is why.

It's also because the PS5 itself is terribly expensive in the country of the rising sun, and the price in yen of the hardware continue to increase with the recent Slim revision.
Pricetag of all the PS5 peripherals also went up such as the DualSense wireless controller now costing 9,480 yen (previously 7,678 yen).
Slim models are supposed to be the new default models once stocks of the OG PS5 run out so all future newcomers really get the short stick.
For a quick comparison, here's the current prices of the Steam Deck models:
Worth to mention the shipping fee is NOT included (送料別) in the price of the Steam Deck as the hardware is handled by a third-party named Komodo, a Japanese game publisher.
But it helps Komodo is in charge of the advertising (something Valve wouldn't spend a single cent otherwise) and shipping the items in Japanese retail stores (such as Edion in Osaka).
The desktop market in Japan is still fucked like everywhere else unless willing to be at least one year late in terms of computer parts.
Coupling with all the other parts, it shouldn't be too hard to build a decent PC for around the price range of a PS5 Slim (w/ disc) there.
I assume some retail chain stores such as Yodobashi Camera might have better deals but that's out of my personal scope.
Vtubers also popularized PC as well as certain games such as Apex Legends. The Steam Top 100 chart can give you an idea of the JP players tastes.
I will also bring back this Famitsu article during the TGS 2023 which described the PC market in Japan as flourishing considerably, such as citing the Steam Deck being a success and a bunch of games (Tekken 7, Elden Ring, Armored Core 6) which have 30% of their userbase playing on Steam.

For a majority of Japanese consumers, a Switch just does the job well enough as both a home & portable console for a much lesser price, with Nintendo games but also nearly all the JP third-party support seen in Playstation. And for the nippon enthusiasts (and westaboos) that the Playstation 5 is trying to aim for, a gaming PC sounds like a better deal in the long run.

Why bother? PS4 is still getting games and the system is cheaper. PS5 has no exclusives worth playing, PS4 has Bloodbourne.

If you own one already, yeah. I will point out that PS4s have not really had any price cuts - a new PS4 slim with 1TB HDD is still almost $300. I don't even think they sell the PS4 Pro anymore so your only option is PS5.
(And I also see them in stock less frequently so I'm assuming PS4 stockpiles are running out and soon you won't be able to buy one new at all)

The first two years of its life having crippling shortages killed off any momentum outside of Soyny’s own studios. Now that supply is finally meeting demand, there’s not shit to play. The Internet says it’s at 46.6 million hardware sales as of Q3 which will likely exceed 50 million by the end of the year. Not terrible but for increasingly expensive games that need 5-10 million copies sold just to break even, there will be some tough decisions needing to be made at a few publishers to have to scale back on these AAA epic experiences because the market is only going to accept a handful of GAAS titles.
