    It’s so weird that these consoles are in the latter stages of their life. Was it just this generation that was weird or am I just getting old?

    It seems that they are not as popular as the Xbox one and ps4 were. Maybe I just checked out of modern gaming.

      It still doesn’t feel like there’s been a proper ‘next-gen’ game yet. There were a lot of cross-gen games that seemed to dampen the feeling of the gen starting. Maybe FFVII Rebirth will change that for me; I dunno.

        Just my thought.

        A new version or #6 will not change this. Cross-gen for the sake of making money takes away exclusivity.

        Nintendo took his chance by betting on mobile.

        A lot of remakes and no risk for new ideas. The market is feed up and also mobile smartphone casual gaming takes its toll.

        They would better save the money for a new hardware and try to bring some fresh ideas.

        Just my 5c

          Inflation is really hitting everywhere. First it was a penny for your thoughts, then it was putting in your 2 cents, now it’s 5c for a comment.
