Have the games been good enough? How much longer does its lifecycle need to be, now that there&#8217;s near constant chatter about the inevitable PS6?<\/p>\n<p>Granted, these are all fairly loaded questions, because this has been an undeniably uneven console generation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>We can&#8217;t forget that things got off to a rocky start thanks to the global pandemic. Production was crippled, and Sony&#8217;s overall operations had to be adjusted to a significant degree. In short, it felt like the PS5 had no real footing over its first couple of years on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the system was selling out over and over again, and exclusive titles like the Demon&#8217;s Souls remake, Returnal, and Ratchet &amp; Clank Rift Apart were showing what the console was capable of.<\/p>\n<p>But the limited PlayStation Studios release schedule quickly attracted criticism. Key developers like Naughty Dog were nowhere to be seen \u2014 beyond The Last of Us&#8217; multiple remakes and remasters \u2014 and Sony&#8217;s push for live service was met with plenty of protest from fans who had witnessed the success of the PS4&#8217;s single player, blockbuster strategy.<\/p>\n<p>This has ended up being a fairly common criticism across the generation, but then the industry as a whole has seriously struggled post-pandemic. Ever-rising development costs and the mounting pressures of chasing the live service dream have crippled entire companies.<\/p>\n<p>The past five years have had their ups and downs, then, but the PS5 itself has stood strong in face of everything \u2014 including some very divided opinions. The system&#8217;s on track to be one of Sony&#8217;s most successful ever consoles, and it continues to make the firm an absolute fortune.<\/p>\n<p>But again, this is about <em>your<\/em> perspective.
