>PS4 games cannot handle PS5 games.
Depends on if it was designed to be on the next gen consoles or not. If it isn't then it is a downgraded port but if it's designed to be on a PS5 first then obviously they can add things like ray tracing other effects.
>This isn't 2020, getting a PS5 is no harder than getting a PS4 in contemporary time tables.
No it is 2023 but PS5 is sold out in most places. You can be on a list to get the console because there are comportment shortage, that wasn't the case during the early PS4 or even in year 3. know this is a really hard concept to swallow but that's how it is. You can get it from an ebay vendor from 650+ dollaridoos..
But if there is something wrong with the console then you obviously will have a really long waiting time to get it repaired, or getting a new console. Again, it isn't even like PS4 generation when the console got wrecked it took at max 2 months to either get a new console or get it fixed.
>you can compare PS3 to PS4
not really because again when it comes to the components shortage and that you are more easily to get a console from a vendor on ebay then via official means.
>Ps2 to PS3 is nothing like PS4 to PS5.
More like it because it was also hard to get a PS3 in the beginning, you had to get a bundle which costs more than what the PS5 costs now officially.
>I don't know what the console costs
I have noticed. If you go by unofficial like an ebay vendor then it is 650 to 700 plus shipping. Official means then it is 499.99 or 500 dollars, so still cheaper than a computer that has ray tracing gpu.
>PS3 games that got remade for the PS4 like The Last Guardian
>to prove my point I am going to use the multiplat engine Fox Engine.
I hope you know that the Fox Engine was first made as a next gen engine then it was reworked or downgraded to work on all of the platforms later, also kojima was a lazy cuck that wanted to be like the Rockstar team and went over-budget on MGS5.
So no, you cannot really compare because of the comportment shortages and how most multiplat and even in-house studios started to just make the games for both playstation consoles, so to not lose money because the games development costs 100+ millions of dollaridoos.in just production, then it is marketing afterwards.
Also, if you have followed this weird generation then you would've noticed that Microsoft want every game to work on xbone up to series x, or it has to work on Series S. So that has also made devs looking at making the games for both PS4 as an insurance to not lose money.
