- Today we are taking a look at the PS4 and the longevity that this console has had. It really seems like the ps4 will not die as it continues to get new releases and will most likely continue to for the near future.

Its actually amazing how long the PS4 survived and still getting games
Yeah it’s wild how the ps4 is still going strong
It’s the new PS2
Ngl, it's my 2nd fav console of all time if we count everything: exclusives, multi plats, remakes, remasters, ps1/ps2 classics, etc.
None will be able to steal that 1st place from the PS2 though but I am pleasantly surprised with the PS4. Initially when I bought it, I thought maybe I would have 10 games for it and call it a day, now I have slightly over 200.
Still no reason to upgrade at all and there probably won't be.
The playstation 2, mind you, lasted a good 15 years, so PS4 might be the same as the Playstation 4 if you ask me. And around the time PS4 came out is when the PS2 was discontinued by Sony themselves.
@@SuperFlashDriver I don’t want the PS4 to last that long
Sadly it’s already at 11 years shockingly
As someone who’s only ever owned Nintendo consoles, getting a PS4 in 2024 for $85 was an amazing deal for me. Thousands of games I couldn’t play anywhere else.
Have fun. It's still a great console despite the age.
@@Sefirosu88 I have been having lots of fun. So far Shadow of the Colossus and GTA 5 have been amazing.
wise choice
buying ps4 in 2024 doesnt make sense
Games you couldn't play on Nintendo*** there are probably only a couple dozen PlayStation exclusive games that haven't been ported to another platform (PC or Xbox.) Most are usually multiplatform, but they don't get ported to switch bc of it's low power
You’re probably more in touch with the player base than any of the current gaming executives.
Sadly most consumers are more aware of solutions/issues than a lot of higher ups at all kinds of companies. Gaming, tech, cars, healthcare, you name it
The ps4 is dead , it won’t be getting games after this year, don’t expect anything else , literally a dead console , 50 million people on ps4? Yh doubt it
@@yoyoyoyoyoyo6 I’m one of them. My backlog is so full that my PS4 is still my main machine. I’m going to get a PC for an upgrade when the time comes, now that Sony is beginning to act like a monopoly again.
If it’s a dead console, why is EA, a dystopianly profit-driven company, making a PS4 version of Jedi Survivor?
@@yoyoyoyoyoyo6youre literally a virgin LOL. Stop jacking off to sony, its unhealthy. PS4>>PS5
Still rocking my PS4 that I bought back in 2017! So many games that I played and have yet to play before I upgrade to a PS5.
Oh cool we bought the ps4 on the same year
Same here 😂 First game I played on my PS4 that I bought in 2017 was Ghost Recon Wildlands, such an underrated game
@@MartynLeopard brooo i hated that game at first it was so hard, then i fell in love
@@regulardegular5 I actually had no idea that game even existed, coz I bought the ps4 around september 2017 and Ghost Recon Wildlands came out like in march 2017 and it was actually my brother you told me about it, he said back then that Wildlands has elements that I enjoy in a videogame and how right he was lol 😅
I've owned a Series X and S and found reason to return and sell them. Got a PS5 2 weeks ago, and I'm stuck. PC Gamer here.
I was saving up for a used PS4 Slim but my cat got sick and used the money for his lab tests and medications. He died last month. I'm using a PSP emulator for now and will definitely get a PS4 someday. Not my priority right now. It's just awesome that it's still getting new games.
You have a good heart and that PS4 will come to you!
I applaud you!
Rest in peace Lil homie.

Last good console we got before gaming died
Doomer
gaming ain't dead, consoles are
@kaylemjoseph8727, gaming isn't dead it just looks different
no way you actually think gaming is dead.
correction:
" Last good, solid gaming console ; before
current modern AAA gaming became 'dry' ,".
The PS4 has a killer library. I don’t blame folks for not upgrading. There’s a rumor swirling around about Sony making a new portable that could play PS4 games natively. Strange as it would be, I’d be down especially if it doesn’t require internet to play. Sick videos as always man and hope all is well!
A new PlayStation handheld would be amazing bro, let’s hope that’s real! Thanks man hope you’re doing good 💪
I've been dying for a proper successor to the PS VITA, the thing that killed the Vita was proprietary memory cards being a requirement. So while I'm hoping the rumor is true, I'm hoping they learn from the Switch and use microSD cards for storage (or allow us to slot in a small SSD).
Portable PS4 makes sense. Sony moved their HQ to California and made a clean break from Japan after the PS3. It's why PS4 wasn't backwards compatible like PS3 was.
The PS4 hardware is also basically a PC compared to the custom architecture Sony used on PS1/2/3, making multiplatform easy. Plus we've seen downgrade ports to XB1 and Switch. For better or worse, gaming has become very consolidated.
@@DP12321the ps3 was only backwards compatible for a brief moment in the consoles life.
@@marcellachine5718 With PS2. Every PS3 model did play PS1 games.
100% recommend ps4 in 2024 especially with an ssd no reason at all to upgrade graphics and speed don’t justify cost and lack of games
Exactly i had 2 ssd's in pc, dont need one so i slapped it in PS4 Pro. Then bought internal 8GB drive & external chassis to keep downloads on. Whenever need speed, just send over the game to ssd! 👌👍
SUPER LACK OF GAMES
Still have mine been ps5 for a while ps4 i go bck to sometime
Lmao, this is nothing but pure copium.
The PS5 offers unlocked framerate and a move away from mechanical drive on the PS4 to SSD.
You also get a far greater experience of gameplay on PS5 playing through the PS4 backlog. It’s not just about “graphics” as plaything through the backlog of PS4 games are far superior on ps5.
Literally no reason to own a PS4 in this day and age when you consider how 95% of the PS4 library is playable on PS5.
But, hey. If you want to slog through 30fps instead of 60fps on PS5 while playing your PS4 games, then you do you. 😂
@cbgg1585 that's kind of the point, 95% of the ps4 catalog is available on ps5. I remember going from ps2 to ps3 and the changes were so ecstatic, the consoles are so different.it upgraded in every way and most teams focused solely on the ps3 to the point it forced you to buy a PS3, But there's almost no reason to go from 4 to 5 because games are still being produced for both and still run smoothly and look visually impressive. I have a 4 and 5 and maybe only have 8 physical games over the course of 3 years
I got the PS5 like two years ago, and when I started playing it I was, “why did I upgrade? I didn’t have to,.. there was no need 🤦🏻♂️”
Same. Kind of dissapointed for the upgraded.
My ps4 broke so I just got it
@@JesManVPyea that would be my only reason to upgrade, because i doubt GTA6 will release on PS4, PC or OG XBONE
Totally, the PS4 Pro is amazing, the quality is beautiful, there are new games...
@@pandorin2348 It will come out on PC a few years after. No chance on old generation though.
Nostalgia and also cost of living. People simply can't afford the PS5.
I could afford it from day 1, and I still waited 4 years before buying it. So finally this year I got my PS5 Slim, I pay for it in monthly installments. I think it's good to own every Sony console, some people don't really care about Sony, but for me it's more than just a console. It's a huge part of my life, I grew up playing all PlayStation consoles, so I'm definitely biased, but yeah. I still want to get every PS console that ever releases, till the day I die.
@@bsnf-5
What?!
You said you could afford it from day one, then you say you're got it on installments?!! 🤣
@@freedom_born Yes, I could afford it because I am not a big spender and I always had some money hidden in my socks.
That being said, taking it on installments was a smart move, because I want to build my bank credit score. By paying something in installments, you prove to the bank that they can trust you later one day (when you could really need something bad to take in credit). At least that's how it works in Europe, don't know where you live
People were paying $1000 for the ps5 at launch. The reason they didnt upgrade is because you can still play games like Fortnite on ps4
@@bsnf-5
Lmfao you're talking about bank credit?!
But say the money was in your sock?!
Man you're full of shit
I think the PS4 is gonna go down as arguably the greatest gaming console of all time. That era of video games was kinda perfect tbh. Great selection of games, amazing exclusives, and in regard to performance, it was able to run some very graphically demanding games, even by today’s standards. Video games at that time struck a great balance of introducing next-gen game mechanics and great visuals. It’d have been nice if Bloodborne ran at a higher fps lmao but yeah. Lots of great memories with the PS4
Naw PS3 and Xbox 360 era was the greatest hands down
It’s funny you can ask people and get a different answer from everyone- I legit think 6th gen sweeps for consoles because all of the GameCube, Xbox, Dreamcast and PS2 were worth owning, there were no installs wasting time and video games reached a point of satisfying polish while remaining experimental and clearly surpassing the previous gen. Some of the best games ever came out in that era too I think.
Now I think the best games of today surpass that but 90% of the good games we get now are indies, and consoles after the 7th gen honestly suck so I just moved to PC.
It would be PS2 if you are a Sony fan
@@idontcheckmynotificationsEverybody’s “greatest generation” of vidya consoles is probably the one people had when they were kids/teenagers and played the most.
I think ps3 was the best it had free online
I’m very much a believer that similar to the PS2 and Vita that the PS4 will never die until Sony straight up shuts down the store and licensing stuff, it’s gonna be kept alive by third parties (SEGA and THQ as examples) and indies until Sony just makes them stop by cutting the cord.
I can still buy PSN games on PS Vita hehe all good cheers!
@@rommelflores2618yeah because we won't let them kill it.
They can try.
But they won't be allowed to.
If you have a psvita jailbreak it You could play p s two games
Im 32 years old ... but until now i don't have any console in my life .. but now im working very hard to have ps4 this coming September and i will buy one for the first time... its my childhood dream until now... i hope ps4 will continue ....
They made 10,600 Ps4 game titles . Just buying used games will keep you busy for life . Ebay and Pawn shops sell so many cheap used ps4 games .
Bro I'm 37 just bought a PS4 fat ...same childhood dream to own a PS ... CHEERS 🥂
My launch model is still alive and kicking, installed an external 512gb nvme , played 200hrs of Elden Ring and now I'm finishing the RE 4 remake on hardcore.
Also started Witcher 3 yesterday and I play GT7 from time to time!
I'm that guy still playing ps4 and didn't waste money on a ps5
Me too bro, like I could have gotten a PS5 but I don't really see the reason why to, aside from Marvel's Spiderman 2 that launched on the PS5, no other game has really got my attention and is not I'm like desperate and craving to play Spiderman 2 which I am not, I will stick to my PS4, when gta 6 releases he we'll see how things will go when we get there but at the moment the PS4 for me is great, PS5 will be 4 years old this year, by the time the PS4 had 4/5 years it already had a fantastic exclusive library of games which is more than I can say about the PS5
@@MartynLeopard just get a pc since every game will be available on pc eventually and for a fraction of the price.
Just got a PS5 like 4 days ago, still haven't hooked it up, 2 be completely honest I'm still njoying my PS4... and it's extensive library
Still use my PS4 Slim to this day , A great console.
I have nearly over 300 games on PS4 and still play my slim model i haven't upgraded to PS5 yet still as i still haven't see that game to make me the jump..... Been playing Nintendo switch mostly this gen 🌟
I only recently upgraded from my PS4 Slim to a PS5 slim since it went on sale 2 months ago. And all I've played on my PS5 is PS4 games like XCOM 2, Dragonball Xenoverse 2, and Apex Legends. Now apex imo is a huge upgrade but tbh PS5 is disappointing and I could have just kept playing PS4.
With 300 games you’re set for years lol
Been collecting since the launch of the PlayStation 4 it's still an amazing PlayStation of all time, PS2 library is insane, I do love the switch tho it's probably my 2nd favourite gen of Nintendo close to the SNES days as a big Zelda and JRPG fan ♥️@@FranchisePlayyer
Same taste here. Ps4 and Switch are one of the best consoles ever. Incredible library, both.
The quietness of the PS5 is literally underrated. PS4 way too noisy
That's all the PS5 is tho, just a quieter PS4 lol. What's the point of having a PS5? Almost all the games that exist on it are also on PS4 or PC. Might as well just get a PS4.
only reason to get a ps5. though new paste on ps4 does help alot with the fan noise
ps5 is more future proof yes its just an upgraded ps4 pro but loading time quiteness 60fps alone makes it worth it its so hard to play on 30fps once you try 60fps@@amrsalama911
@@amrsalama911 PS5 does have games that are never coming to PS4, like Spider Man 2, Stellar Blade and Astro Bot.
@@BrawlinEntertaintment2Kcool I’ll play them in a couple years when price of ps5 comes down and I exhaust some backlog. I’ll get them for $20 all patched up with all the dlc instead of $70
Sony should have never released the PS4 Pro as it is delivers almost the same graphics as the PS5. It also makes the console generation gap look smaller than it should be.
That's nothing.
Last gen's Xbox One X (proud user here) has way better graphical fidelity than the current gen Xbox Series S. Sure, series loads faster, and some games use ray tracing in it, but other than that... 4k changes everything, and Series has no 4k support, and does not read discs, while my Xbox One X does.
This dude said it best: ps5 is just a glorified ps4 pro. Same story.
@@IsuiGtzyou could just call it a PS4 Pro Max 😂
@piyapolphetmunee3879 that's a terrible comparison
ps4 pro is 4.2 teraflops and ps5 is 10.3 teraflops literally more than double graphics power
on top of that the cpu is so much of an improvement the pro couldn't do 60fps in most games while the ps5 can do even 120fps in some games
plus the ps5 has ssd compared to the mechanical drive on the pro
@@toastken7492and the games look almost the same
having a ps4 pro i can see the resolution difference alot on many games on my tV.. but on my smaller tv its harder to see lol
PS3 and 360 still have decent games, love a bit of Borderlands 2. Consoles only die because they want you to buy another one, old consoles like the PS4 and PS3 are a great money saver, I've reminded myself that I'm nowhere near finishing any Forza game on the 360.
Just started playing Forza Motorsport 4 last week it launch the first semester of college for me but I slept on it for over a decade
I made a mistake not getting it back then but it slaps 👋
I have a Series S and the most games I play on it are 360 games on the online store. And honestly the main reason I got this console was just to buy and play a bunch of those older games.
The thing is a lot of those 7th gen games have been remastered. Besides Borderlands, there's Uncharted, Bioshock, and more.
Uncharted 2 was my favorite PS3 game, but the best play to play it nowadays is PS4/5.
@@DP12321
Ah yes, the unnecessary remasters
@@jesuspernia8031 Plenty of those came out. Like God of War 3 and The Last of Us.
I knew the PS4 would still have its support!!!!
Sure, the PlayStation 5 is a sexy beast and it's perfect for those that don't have a PS4 but the PS4 still has that potential and the best part is it can do cross-gen and connect with the PS5.
My friends own a PS4 and I was mind blown that I can talk to them through the PS5 controller voice chat
PS4 remains little beast the series s of sony
To be real, I should have waited and bought my ps5 at a later time. Its cool and and all, but the PS4 is still good
I feel the same way
Yeah got mine in December 2020 but it was more of impulsive buy from all the hype. I love the PS5 but I’ve mostly just used it to play PS4 games.
im waiting till the pro comes out. that would make a much reasonable upgrade from the ps4
@@chetanmanoj6808What's the time frame for that to come out?
@@MongoSlade84 no official news yet. But rumors and data leaks so far suggest Holidays 2024.
There's no reason to upgrade if games are still coming out for PS4. GTA6 and Sparking Zero are the only reason I'm gonna upgrade.
Gta 6 for me
Yeah same for me
Sony better not do something stupid and try to shutdown the PS4 to force people to upgrade to PS5. They have been making a lot of dumb decisions lately so I wouldn’t be surprised if this crossed their minds
Don’t give them any ideas lol
They keep releasing for it because the install base is so high. They don’t mind as long as customers keep buying games
Then it is better they make up their minds for people then.
People like you are so blinded that you don’t seem to understand that the PS5 offers unlocked framerate, HENCE getting better experience playing though your PS4 backlog on PS5.
A killer library isn’t an excuse NOT to upgrade. The vastly superior experience playing through PS4 games on PS5 should be enough to make the upgrade.
Why would people would persist with 30fps for games like Shadow of the Colossus over 60fps on PS5 beggars belief. Sure, there is “60fps performance mode” on the PS4 pro, but it doesn’t always reach it. Fluctuates far too much. The PS5 unlocks the framerate and fixes this issue and runs the game at a locked 60.
Gamers are seriously naive if they can’t see the vastly superior experience of playing backwards compatible titles on PS5.
No reason not to upgrade as 95% of PS4 titles are backwards compatible with the PS5.
@@cbgg1585I don’t want to upgrade to continue playing last gen games that look slightly better and load faster. I want a new console to play new games that I can’t play on the old one. That’s the whole point of generations…or it was anyway
It doesn't seem like they will. If anything PS5 is basically a PS4 ProPro. They're all the same ecosystem.
If they were smart, they'd just have the rumored PS4 portable work natively with it. Many people have lots of digital games as PS4 comes up on its 11th year and the hardware is old but still solid 1080p stuff (unlike XB1).
I have a PS4 and just bought the PSVR for it and it’s amazing how many games you can play on it. Indeed the PS4 still has life in it for a few more years.
I actually like the ps5. It’s not noisy. It loads games fast. Easier to deal with in many ways. I just don’t like the design or that it’s so big and heavy. Plus there’s not enough exclusivity generation wise. I wish series X had more exclusivity console wise but at least it’s very backwards compatible friendly. Sony should have made the PS5 compatible to all previous consoles. Then it would not only dominate but crush its competition
If the ps5 was able to play ps1-ps4 games more people would want to upgrade that’s for sure
There's zero reason it couldn't at least play PS1 and PS2 games. Those are extremely easy to emulate. I understand with PS3 because the architecture is so convoluted and difficult to emulate, but progress is even being made on that front with RPCS3.
That console is over 10 years old... I feel old..
The PS4 is a great console and I think it’s underrated. It was the last Sony console to let you explore Avatars and Themes. Also had its own web browser. All these features you won’t find on the PS5.
The only downside is stores don’t seem to stock PS4 games anymore. But that’s not a problem if you buy digital or shop online
Really? I still see PS4 games all the time. Walmart, Target, and Best Buy all have them, albeit at smaller quantities. Plus GameStop and other game stores and pawn shops have a ton. They are so cheap and plentiful.
Usually I buy my games on EBay. I find titles in Brand New Condition for a decent cheap price. Also if you checkout Mercari you can find ppl selling Used PS4 games for cheap. Cheaper than GameStop! lol.
They're literally everywhere and in terms of physical copies, they outnumber PS5 games at many game shops I"ve been to.
Idk where you live. I see it everywhere and all over on Amazon.
There's multiple ps4 games at my local walmart
The PS4 is simply a great console with great games. It’s basically the opposite of the PS5.
Just bought yesterday ps4 slim + 2 controllers for 130 euro, then got ps plus deluxe for 55 euro and gow ragnarok, got some good stuff for year :)))
Props for mentioning Gravity Rush. Criminally underrated series.
Totally agreed with you man! Honestly PS4 still is a very worthwhile console to play on and I am happy for them keeping PS4 alive for this long. Its been more alive than PS2 and PS3's 11th year in the market too. Great video, subscribed! I also talked about it in my channel too about the PS5 RANT and why 9th Gen sucks that you may want to check out too!
Thanks man, I’ll have to check your video out too!
Gravity rush 1 and 2 are my top favorite ps4 exclusive games. Such a fun and unique experience for both. Love the adorable main character. She's so charming haha.
Same
I have a PS4 slim and a Pro, plus over 120 physical games. I have zero desire to own a PS5. There comes a point where something is good enough, and for me that was the PS4.
With 120 games you’re chillin for awhile. So many great games
The PS4 continued to live so the PS5 could never be born! 🗣️ 🔥
My PS4 literally died yesterday after 9 years. I've had so many great memories but its time to move on.
I bought mine in 2013 now 2024 still going
Great video dude! I still play with a lot of buddies online with crossplay games that are still using the PS4. And I don't blame them to be honest.
Thanks man! Yeah cross play is such a cool feature
I still use it as my main console and idk if it's just me but the PS4 UI just feels so snappy and fast which makes the experience even more better
The ps4’s current situation reminds me of the ps3.
I still have a ps4 and I play it every day
Same
I had good memories with the PS4. I’m thinking on adding a Pro to my collection. I am a huge PlayStation fan.
I had the PS4 Slim all previous Gen. This year I finally acquired a Pro the Glacier White model. One that I always wanted, too. If you get a Pro try getting a model part of the 7200 series. Apparently those are much quiet, but replacing the thermal paste helps more.
I think you should probably stick with the regular if you already have it
If you didn’t know by the way, Jesus will fulfill you more than anything in this world, I speak from experience (from when i did Romans 10:9-13), he loves you and wants to be in a meaningful (not romantic) relationship with you. :)
“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:9-13 KJV
“and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
Mark 1:15 KJV
If you want proof that Jesus and the Bible are true look a documentary called “Ron Wyatt discoveries 2022” on UA-cam and a UA-cam channel called Expedition Bible. They both examine archeological sites and discoveries that prove the Bible, and even reference secular sources. (Just don’t convert to 7th day Adventism after watching the documentary) And lastly if you don’t know the gospel and want to be saved search up “abc’s of Salvation Teenmissions” on Google and it should be the first or second result. When you click on it read the whole thing, and do what it says and have faith in Jesus while you are doing it, do not doubt, and if it is hard for you to do what it says, ask Jesus to help you, have faith that he will, and *he will.*
God Bless :)
PS4 is a great console and I find a lot of great games for it everywhere. I don’t think that people don’t need to sleep on the PS3 and the store is still open and I find that some of the best games you can get digitally.
PS4 does not deserve to die
Get your money up fam 😂
In my country you can get a brand new ps4 slim at around 190$ and second handed at about 90-100$ which is a great deal considering how many games you can play
Honestly looking at my ps5 collection, the only ps5 only games I have are Spiderman 2, FF7 Rebirth, Jedi Fallen Order and the Dead Space Remake, which I’m sure could’ve had a playable ps4 port.
Hogwarts, elden ring, God Of War Ragnorak, resident evil 4 and Horizon Forbidden West are huge games and they got a ps4 port.
That’s a really good point, I’m surprised the Dead space remake didn’t get a ps4/xbox one port it probably would have sold really well on last gen consoles
Most of the games I play on Xbox Series X are just Xbox One, 360 and OG Xbox games. I probably have maybe 5-7 games that are current gen releases.
Jedi fallen order is ps4 game you must be talking about sequel jedi survivor its only on ps5
In all fairness, no PlayStation has ever died; I still have a launch day PS3 60GB model standing tall next to a launch day PS5 on my gaming desk, and it runs like a champ.
I’m with you, bro. PS3 is absolutely my favorite home console of all time: it’s multimedia capabilities, exclusive bangers, impressive power, form factor, DualShock 3 controller, and overall experience are the creme de la creme.
I just bought my nephew a ps4. He said he wanted a ps5,i said why, he said better graphics....i said trust me.... you want the ps4..... he hasn't regretted it yet. He sees i still play my ps4 games on ps5 and borrows all my games. I only have about 8 physical ps5 games. Just nothing worth getting fr.
What is there for him to regret? Lmao you bought and chose it for him, didn't even give him a choice
@Eddycut see actually you are wrong! 😆 I told him I'll get him the ps4 and Nintendo switch or just the ps5... initially he said ps5. He thought ps5 completely trampled the ps4 and it was obsolete until he started naming games then realized they were on ps4. Instantly switched to the ps4 and Switch.
@@waltergill1226 lmao how is that wrong when it's literally what you said, oh so now you claim you gave him a choice and also a switch instead of the PS5, lmao sure bud how convenient for you. Funny how you left that information out from your first comment🤣
@Eddycut hell yeah it was convenient for me🤣. Bro the ps4 was $80 and the switch was $100 at the pawn shop. The games he wanted were part of the home collection already. I'd be lying to say I truly wanted to shell out $300 for a ps5 😆.
@@waltergill1226 lmao are you slow? 🤣 I meant how convenient it was for you to leave that bit of information out of your first comment buddy 🤣🤣
I still own a PS4 but planning to get a PS5 late 2024 or early 2025. PS4 is a wonderful console and I think one of the best consoles that Sony has ever made. Even in terms of graphics, its pretty astounding and revolutionary
Release of GTA 6 might convert or increase sales for PS5
Playing previous generations of video game consoles and having a ton of fun! The PS4 is my favorite console. I love it so much I have 2 of them. I honestly can't believe Sony shut down making new PS4'S. They could have easily sold millions more like possibly 10 million more console sales. They were crazy to stop making more of them. It's super popular and has an incredible library. The online fan base is high. After decades more time the PS4 and PS2 can be considered the greatest consoles ever made. I love them both. ❤
Yea I got my ps5 like a year or so ago and it’s nice, but my ps4 pro still runs just fine and never getting rid of it, absolutely recommend it still in 2024, freaking baller ass console.
Only reason I keep my PS5 is so my sister can use my PS4 Pro. She had never gamed until hearing about Kingdom Hearts, and now that I got her that she won't stop playing!!
I finally got myself a Pro this year. A Glacier White a model one that I’veam always wanted, too. I still use the Slim as a secondary console when playing Fortnite with family and some small indie games.
The PS4 is the sequel to the PS2 when it comes to the sheer amount of games and variety.
I think you nailed it. I’m a patient gamer with kids and expenses and cost of living sucks all the while ps5 price is still high for such few games that I couldn’t get for ps4. I still have a ton of ps4 games that I’m working my way through and adding more to my backlog because the value is just great picking up great games dirt cheap for under $20 and sometimes under $10. I just don’t see the need to upgrade and pay $500 for a system and $70 for games that only marginally look better (the generational difference gets smaller every generation) when I can wait it out a bit playing good games for dirt cheap and not wait until ps5 gets a price cut, more games, the price of those ps5 games comes down etc. I could probably easily make it another 2-3 years on just ps4
Being a patient gamer these days is pretty awesome because you end up being able to pick games up for cheap after the hype cools off
I like that you also consider inflation, people financial situation, fear of missing out. Great video!
Thanks, appreciate it!
You know how many games people have on their hands and not enough time to finish them at all? Just a phone alone can let you play all the games in history up to Switch era. Couple that together the vast library of games on ps4 who have time for ps5 at all.
I like the ps5, but the ps4 was the console I started by. Therefore I respect the ps4 more!
PS4 install base is 100+ Million.
PS5 Install base is 59 Million.
Literally always hating on the PS4 for no reason. (PS5 is still getting their Next-Gen Updates/Features on games either way, so they need to stop complaining.)
Maybe we 100 Million+ PS4 gamers should switch to Xbox or PC, sense PS5 owners are still on this (PS5 Only Movement) crap.
Let's see how sony would like only 59 million gamers who are not buying games.
PSPlus PS5 players don't buy games.
We PS4/Pro players buy shitloads of Physical Games. xD
I’ve never been happier as a gamer. Loving Astro Bot on PS5 right now.
And no joke another reason I don't get the PS5 is because it's physically too large
For me the design is not appealing. But also I cannot stand the new Dualsense controller. I tried it and can’t seem to like it.
@@SentinelExps4 controller and Xbox one controller is flawless. They shouldn’t have changed the shit
That was a big reason why I chose the PS4 over the original Xbox One... The sheer size of the One, plus the fact you couldn't stack other stuff on top of it because of that huge vent in the top just made it impractical.
@@givenchyoverall ps4 controller is for tiny baby hands, ps3 controller was peak dualshock
@@dannydanny2789what? The DualShock 3 is even tinier than the ds4, ds3 feels like it was literally made for kids
I have the original PS4 still going strong, absolutely love it, sounds like a jet but no issues at all since I've had it, cleaned ot recently even though it wasn't in bad condition, hardly any dust built up on the fan.
Why would it die I don’t see it as a weak console like the PS2 PS3 PSX I only play on the PS3 still only for the trophies
Those weren't weak consoles either..ps3 was clearly a update from ps2 and honestly I think ps3 is better ps4..but Playstation has always been a great system
@@ShawnReed-ny1hdPS3 wasn’t in 1080 in every game as Xbox 360 was the only thing it was great at giving free play online service no plus required that’s it the controllers are more smaller then the PS2 PS4 PS5 Xbox doesn’t make their controllers tiny PS3 is no where better then PS4
Oh yes they were weak consoles PlayStation was the weakest on PS1 X-men Vs street fighter played weak and played better on sega Saturn Sony didn’t care much at that time until Microsoft jumped in showed everyone what true power really was there is no weak Xbox console PS3 sure was weak laggy ever thought of comparing same games side by side seeing for yourself Sony was the weakest until they hit PS4
@@mikekanner2156he doesn’t know what’s he saying
Kinda crazy that Black Op 6 is going to be on PS4/Xbone. Call of Duty is HUGE and I personally believe that people would finally upgrade to PS5 for COD but looks like too many people have PS4s so theres no reason for Activision/Microsoft to not put it on last gen. There's that one Kotuku article "60 Percent Of Playtime In 2023 Went To 6-Year-Old Or Older Games, New Data Shows" where they talk about how most gamers really only play GTA5, Roblox, Minecraft, Rocket League, Apex and Fall Guys. Crazy to think that these games are keeping PS4 super relevant.
I won't upgrade to PS5 because it is too pricey and I don't like the design is too big. I'm happy with PS4.
Those are the reasons it took a me long time to buy a PS5 too. The scalpers didn’t help matters either. But I like how fast it loads ps4 games.
@@teneleven2818The thing is that you don't know what you're missing if you haven't experienced PS5 load times. But it's impossible to go back to PS4 afterwards. Games like The Witcher 3 and Prey have load times reduced from over a minute to 15-20 seconds. The SSD is by far the best feature of PS5.
an the ui is BOOTY CHEEX
I was lucky enough to grab one ps5 when they were released, but I had money back then and things weren't so expensive.
Now it would be impossible for me to upgrade with the cost of living. I can barely afford to eat these days but grateful I have the ps5 because I intend to use it as long as possible until it stops working basically. , maybe one day some one will make Linux run on it..🎉
PS5 slim is smaller.
i am going to keep my ps4 for as long as i can. my brothers have had them since they came out i finally got my own in august and i have already made so many irreplaceble memorys with my brothers and my friends. no other console could ever replace it.
It's still an amazing gaming console. I saw no reason to play ps5. My pc runs better than that console. I'm still playing ps3. I love that system the most. The games are extremely cheap still except a select few of course. I'm definitely buying a ps4 again soon.
Agreed, the ps4 is still solid. I still play my ps3 all the time it’s nice being able to just play the game immediately without having to do a giant install
Thats dumb. You can literally just play the ps4 games on ps5 and it runs better. No point on having a ps4 if you have a ps5
And by that same logic, there's no reason to buy a PS5 if you have a PS4.
@@edge1000why spend an extra $400 just to play ps4 games? Now that’s dumb
@@russellwestbrook462 thats not what i said. When did i say spend the extra $400 just to play ps4 games?
You are absolutely based for that Gravity Rush series mention. I salute you, gentleman of culture! 😄👌
Years to come. The PS5 is doa. The 6 will kill the Playstation altogether. 4 is the last hurrah
I hope not man, I would like to see PlayStation around for many years
@FranchisePlayyer The industry has gone woke, the games are terrible and not selling. AAA gaming is on life support because all the studios got flooded with unqualified ideologues and check box hirings, so it ain't recovering this decade. I'm not even sure PS6 will ever see the light of day.
PS5 plays PS4 titles. From that alone, PS5 is always competitive.
@@jstout333That is a thing! Another thing is we wait to buy until PS5 Pro hits! If you have a PS4 Pro now, thers no sensible reason not to! 👍
@@badism8369yeppp Go woke Go broke
I play PS4, i have so many games i love to play. The reason I don't upgrade is that there is not many games on it that I want to play, compared to ps4.
The PS4 is my modern Resident Evil machine, but you are very correct, extremely valid system to use even in 2024, my next pickups will be RE3 and 4 remake, and hopefully Spider-Man. It’s almost overwhelming how many game are on offer at this point and for those with just a regular hd tv the graphics are incredible. Best f2p game of all time imo, Warframe, insane experience and incredible community.
Yeah the library is ridiculous. Glad you’re enjoying the RE games
You forgot about FIFA, and most sports games too, FIFA until 2019 it was still making a PS3 version which is wild, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep doing it for PS4 at least until 2026.
Yeah it’s crazy that fifa 19 and nba 2k18 were both released on the ps3
Bro Legend never die ❤️🔥💯🥃 I'm happy with ps4 pro Gaming cam to the end so sad 😔
I still own and play my PS4 Pro console due to financial reasons the same time this economy inflation will not leave no time soon. Until either they cut the price or they will stop making ps4 games I’ll will transition to the PlayStation 5 console and now the PS5 Pro console is about to be released the price is beyond outrageous I wouldn’t even pay $700 it’s unbelievable same time this inflation will not end. 🤦🏽♂️
My PS4 still alive and kicking and as long as it still gets huge releases I'm totally fine with my PS4, plus I still play my PS3 from time to time, cuz I have a huge PS3 and PS4 library
I started collecting Vita’s around 2020 and totally neglected my PS4. Just completed both Horizon Games and bought Ghost Director Cut and will start soon. Amazing Console.
Have a PS5, still mostly play everything on my PS4. It's got the awesome backgrounds you can buy, and I have a few that keep me on.
The ps5 has backwards compatibility 🤷🏿♂️
Yeah but having more true ps5 games would be nice
@@FranchisePlayyer I agree
I have cfw ps3 slim, two modded regular wiis, modded wii u, modded new 3ds xl and I still have my psp that needs a new lcd. Also can't forget my ps2 slim and n64. 😁
I have a little over than 100 ps4 games. It is a great console. I see no reason to upgrade for ps5 when I can play most of the games on ps4 anyway, not to mention the 70$ price tag. Although, now I'm a more of Switch player and my ps4 is mainly used as Netflix machine for now.
It’s going to take some major releases to make people upgrade who already haven’t. 100 games is a solid collection dude
I bought ps5 Slim this year, because my og ps4 was actually very slow, after years of playing it for many hours. My ps4 is gonna stay in my drawer, it still works, but a brand new ps5 slim was the way to go for me. I deserved it after saving money for quite some time, too.
My ps5 collecting dust I played helldivers till level 16 & just stopped
I’ve cooked 3 ps4’s with these later gen ps4 games, and got a ps5 mainly for the backwards compatibility.
the ps4 fixed the only issue with the ps3, the low amount of ram and a badly aged gpu. Ps5 should have increased cpu power more because graphical improvements are diminishing, but what is easily noticable is npc count in open world games and physics etc. Ps5 should have had a good gpu but mainly a good cpu so games could innovate because as of now ps5 looks same as ps4 if you are on 1080p display
The PS5 cpu is over 5x more powerful. It just current games are still limited by the GPU. Lets see how far GTA 6 pushes the current consoles.
I'm using a 1080p display and playing cyberpunk on ps4 vs ps5 is a big difference lol
ps5 version looks and runs way better
@@BigCat553 its almost like cyberpunk is a pc game that was ported to ps4.... if you play any ps4 game ps5 upgrade is not noticable in 1080p. The reason you notice cyperbunj ps4 vs ps5 is because its a pc game that ported to ps5 which made it more similar to the pc version.
Playing ps4 on a ps5 is the best way to do it. There's no point in using a ps4 if you own a ps5
I think this is spot on but one thing to note is that, though cheap, a lot of PS4's need servicing. I picked up a slim at a garage sale for $45 and when I tried loading a couple discs it failed to because of a weak laser eye. That lead to a full service. The unit was totally caked with dust inside. And though I have the ability to do this the slim has a lot of screws and parts. It's a pretty complex unit.
Gamers want to get the best possible deals on consoles and games. The PS5 fails to do either of these. In fact they've increased prices. Which is obviously unprecedented this far into the life cycle.
Yeah not having a price drop on a console at this point in its lifecycle is kind of ridiculous
@@FranchisePlayyerI agree. But if they wanted to justify the huge price tag they should have made it backwards compatible to all previous consoles not just ps4 games.
I am one of the 50 million people still on a PS4. I am in a country where the PS5 is more than my monthly wage. I have so many games on PS4 that I never got to experience, so I am not in a hurry. The thing is, I am considering a Steam deck soon rather than buying a PS5 because that I cheaper and I get to enjoy the great steam library.
There are only handful of PS4 games which are being enhanced for ps5...most of them are first Party titles apart from that, PS4 pro runs almost every PS4 game just like PS5...there are still not enough exclusive titles on PS5 which justifies it's 499 usd price tag...
Hopped on cod ww2 lastnight, was the funnest ive had in cod in years !
That's the reason that I love my own PS4 Slim and I don't expect to move PS5 because I also use Save Wizard. Long live PS4!!
I have 0 reason to upgrade besides 1 game that’s coming out next month but that game is also coming out on ps4 too but my situation was dumb lol.
I preordered the limited edition of it expecting myself to have a ps5 by now from when all that scalping was still going on and I never ended up getting one because of it. Now that time has passed I see that there was nothing worth getting a ps5 for anyway. I don’t play online much either so I’m not interested in all those lame copy paste shooters and stuff either
What game is it?
@@FranchisePlayyer Trails through Daybreak it’s my favorite RPG series lol it’s not so TOO well known even though I think it’s better than persona and stuff in a lot of ways
Still rocking my OG PS4 I got in 2015. Lobbies are still full online and games play good. But the past 2 weeks I am finally feeling the need to get a newer console.
Still rockin PS3/4 on my 14 yo 1080p vizio. Just got around to Horizon Zero Dawn. Have enough games to keep me busy for a long time. I do sometimes wonder what I am missing from a 4K or 1440p setup with a ps5/series x.
The clarity and boost in frame rates on current gen is great. That's all it really is though, just a nice thing to have but not essential. The most important thing is if the games are still good, which they still are on older systems.
I have a PS5 and mid-range PC but I also still love the Switch which is even less capable than PS4. The games are just that good on that system.
I hope that when games like Fortnite are ported to the PS6, I hope they keep the PS4 servers running exclusively for PS4 players to prevent any unfair advantages.
I am an Xbox player but i got myself a cheap used ps4 and it's been a pretty good system. Love tlou
I still play PS4 on my PS5.Apparently these ps4 fanboys don't know ps5 can play ps4 games with better framrate
Agreed.. Yet still we’re now in 2024 and while i greatly appreciate the great graphics & stellar frame rate continuously being in 2d the rest of my life is downright boring
@Mintcar923 My ps4 is a dust collector now🤣🤣🤣ps5 is better
If ima be spending 500 on a console, I might as well save up another 500 and get a pc
This has been the most disappointing console generation. Too many cross gen games, remakes and remasters.
Not to mention the overpriced PlayStation subscription services and DEI infested games and censorship.
Ps3 guy here *waves* my PS5 is an incredible dust collector. Been playin g on my ps3 both online and single player for over 18 months now.
