When did PS5 hit the shelves .
With the PlayStation 5 apparently reaching the end of its lifecycle , it seems like this may just be the shortest span for any PlayStation ever . So , when did the PS5 actually come out , and why is it being put to bottom so early ?
PS5 release date
ThePS5 was released on November 12 , 2020 , in Australia , Japan , New Zealand , North America , and South Korea , with the rest of the world follow one week later . It was released with some pretty laborious supply trouble across the earth , with all variety of wild bidding and buying maneuver occurring .
A huge second - hand gross revenue market protrude up as people across the Earth managed to get their workforce on multiple consoles . These were acquire through manufacturer connecter , crazy queuing , and other villainous means . They were then sold on at greatly high-sounding prices resulting in the uptake of the PS5 being slow and hesitating .
This ho-hum and arduous uptake of the PS5 was also match by a deficiency of really exciting titles . Of course , there were a few remakes and remasters to expect forward to , such as Demon Souls and Spider - Man , but nothing groundbreaking . Throughout the lifetime of the PlayStation 5 , since its press release , it has n’t push the gravy boat out or had any generation - defining title . If Naughty Dogremakes The Last of Usone more clock time , I am exit to start burning poppycock .
Is the PS5 the last of them?
With such a short life-time cycle and the drastic lack of exclusives , Sony may be finally bowing out of the console game . Of of course , this is simply my speculation , but I sense that signs point towards a change in counseling for consoles on the whole . With only50 million gross revenue of the PS5compared to the 158 million of the PS2 , it is n’t looking great for Team Blue .
A lot of the PlayStation exclusives arenow useable on PC , include the Souls games , Last of Us , and God of War . If the newer I are n’t there yet , they will be soon enough . With Microsoft being so penny-pinching to simply creating a gage PC with their consoles , all they need to do is allow the next Xbox to rain cats and dogs Steam games , and the console race is over .
Before the PS5 finally bows out , there may be a few more exclusives to come out , giving the console its last gasp . However , I do n’t feel that another Final Fantasy will be enough to wreak Sony back to the gilded geezerhood of the PlayStation 2.If Sony need to uprise to relevanceagain in the console securities industry , I feel they are go to have to do something drastic to draw off back the disfranchised players and fans .
