    Aside from the Switch, which just quietly prints money, this generation of consoles feels like a huge failure.

    The Xbox launch was so bad I couldn’t tell you what the latest Xbox is called, and the PS5 had its hype during a global pandemic, and seemingly couldn’t bother to release games during that period.

    While the “latter stage” could basically mean 4-5 years, I don’t really see what the big rush is. Let 2020-2022 be a write-off, and focus on getting some fucking games out! I have a PS5, but purely because I got it as a gift. All of my games, aside from one, are PS4 games.

    Obviously, there will be some big names that’ll likely come out during this time. We’ll likely see a new COD game, GTA6, ideally a new GOW came, and FF7’s latest part. With that being said, 2024 is extremely underwhelming for games.
