I think it really sucks. Buying a PS4 has already been kind of a bad deal, and its funny that theyre already moving on to something else

I do most of my gaming on a 720p tv, so 4k can go gently caress itself in its rear end

the industry wants to move to vr for some reason, i guess cos other companies are doing it. and theres no way they could get it to work well on the regular ps4 so i dont think its all that jewish. additionally, i dont think console companies etc actually make any money on selling consoles but rather stuff like games, controllers and, well, vr headsets.

Microsoft is doing it as well though and I don't think they have a VR headset. I really think it's them looking at the popularity of phones that people buy again every other year and thinking Why don't we do that

Yeah. It's pretty crazy to me that in the 2 years of PS4 being out it has one good exclusive and now they're saying that was good enough and releasing another 500 dollar box.

And I don't think it's a VR thing bc the Sony headset comes with an external box that powers it and it's supposed to be compatible with existing PS4. I don't like any of this. VR especially that stuff is beyond dumb

PS4 has a lot of good games IMO and a lot more to come. If this is real, it's just going to be for 4K movies and maybe upscaled games. That's it

as i understand it u need a really high resolution for vr to be erm , immersive? lol. and the ps4 is competing with pc in that respect. so a new console seems necessary, i dont think itll do anything exclusive that the regular ps4 doesnt though. maybe it will run some games at a higher fps or resolution but most ppl still only have 1080p tvs anyway. theyre not going to sell 4.5 exclusive games or anything, theres just no way.

Because 4K is pointless. Nobody shoots movies in 4K except probably marvel films or something and why would I ever watch one f those.

"exclusives" are such a 90s argument as well, and the only company with the truly great exclusives are nintendo, which have already separated themselves from the field 15+ years ago

I have a 4K and Netflix has like 10 things on there in 4K, it looks super nice as well as YouTube videos in 4K, but unless the new system upscaled games as well it's kinda pointless
