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

This ps5 almost feels like a waste of 500 bucks

COVID screwed everything up. A similar thing occured with the PS2 and PS3/XBox 360 with the 2008-2009 financial crash screwing up the releases. If people can't afford new consoles, there's no point in selling games exclusively on them. Up until 2009-2010, most PS3 or X360 games had a PS2 version. I think Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2010 was the first mainline NFS game to release exclusively on the PS3/X3360.
