Camping in front of the store for buying a console day-one was truly something back in the day lmao
PS3 and the Wii on sales, those were the big days of consoles industry imo

I mean, are modern consoles worth camping for? Switch 2 is so meh... At least going from PS2 to PS3 there was a massive leap in graphics.

No. Every modern console sucks, and I am the target audience. The newest console worth buying to me is the XBOX One but that isn't even supported.

You're not wrong LMAO, maybe it would have been the case for the PS5, but the console was released during a quite chaotic time in the world history lmao

PS5 is one of the only consoles I ever sold, all I used it for was playing blu-rays, so I just sold it and bought a blu-ray player instead lol. It just doesn't have enough exclusive games for it, you might as well get a ps4 pro instead or a PC. Massively over-hyped during the pandemic era, and scalped to hell.

PS3 played Blu-ray, DVD, CD, might as well get one of those bad boys
