And in one sentence you've completely encapsulated the reason why Nintendo is terrified of emulators.

Plus, if you can get the right model, you can play PS2 and PS1 games on it. That's a ridiculous library full of hidden gems.

Co-optimous has the best db of co-op features.

For couch co-op they list:

• PS1 - 85 titles
• PS2 - 212 titles
• PS3 - 500 titles
• PS4 - 1207 titles
• PS5 - 393 titles

These numbers place the PS4 couch co-op library as larger than all the preceding PS generations combined. (At the moment you could group PS5 in with them too but that won't be true for long.)

Edit: thinking about this a bit more the interesting pattern is that each of PS2, PS3, and PS4 more than doubled their preceding generation's figure. We don't know how long the PS5 generation will stick around but we are probably half way though and its unlikely it reaches 2400 co-op titles.

The Wii U is the last console i bought and i still think it's such a great concept that failed for no real reason. Playing a game on the tv and having the mini map on the controller screen for example is so cool. They could've made so many completely different and new games. But i think it's just that no one really cared

It makes sense given the context. The article is trying to distinguish between a surplus and a lack of shortage for 2 reasons.

1. There were shortages worldwide for the ps5, and much of the issue was attributed to scalpers. So it is significant that there are no shortsges this time.

2. Saying a surplus of ps5 pros means everyone can buy one, isn't really news without there being a reason that might not have been the case.

An abundanceage?

it struggles to maintain playable framerates in modern games at its own native resolution

I love people making blanket statements about the SD when it's a fucking PC: what settings are you talking here, because my SD handles games that came out this year no problem on medium settings native, some settings to low when I put it on my big living room TV

Its not going to replace a console perfectly but it absolutely can play almost anything that isn't an exclusive or designed to just not work on Linux (which you can get around too anyway)
