I know a much of people who really want to pay rebirth right now. But are waiting for a more opportune time to buy a ps5. A lot of people are still feeling a lot of financial issues. Especially in the uk.

Or just waiting for it to come out on PC. I can't justify spending the money on consoles anymore. Squenix probably has a deal with Sony where everything has to be a timed exclusive, but on my end I'm not going to buy a $500 console to play a single game that will eventually come out on PC anyway.

For me, getting a console to play current games was cheaper than buying a new pc or upgrading my current which would almost be like getting a whole new pc at this point. Recently got myself a 3050 second hand though which felt like a big bump up from my 1050 Ti. But even then my ps5 plays games better way more consistently than my pc.

I have a PC now because of price gouging of the PS5 at release. No regrets, it's feels good to be back to full control and multitasking.

Not to mention the ungodly amount of indie games.
