Literally barely any games that can't be played on ps4 or Xbox one.

This ps5 almost feels like a waste of 500 bucks

the PS2 was famously long lived, with new games coming out for it years after the PS3's release. I think if Sony really wanted to force people to upgrade they could just do so by fiat, but historically they just haven't wanted to, preferring to release the next gen as a high-end upgrade at first, and only later releasing a variant that's within most peoples' budgets.
