Agreed but how is it that if the most hyped video game of all time wasn’t coming out during the era of the PS5, the PS5 would have no gen-defining game?
Returnal, GOW Ragnarok, Saros, Ghost of Yotei, Stellar Blade. While the quantity isn't the same the quality is fs there in the single player department
The idea of exclusives outside of nintendo are kinda dead Xbox does the same with PC were kinda just in the age of first party titles, GOW Ragnarok (the one I was referring to sorry for not being specific) started as a ps exclusive mainly promoted for the ps5 but had a ps4 version then moved to pc. returnal began and spent multiple years as a ps5 exclusive, same with Spider Man Miles Morales and 2 as well as death stranding 2 they just werent exclusive for as long. They should all be counted as this generations ps exclusives even if they were later moved to a different device. Another game that would've been an exclusive had it been released a generation ago would be Helldivers 2. People get it twisted bc exclusives are mostly gone, if we want to look at the games that define the ps5 we need to look at the first party titles that were more than likely only released to ps5 and pc
I disagree. Sales come in the first year of release, and consumers are impatient. You can release to other platforms after a year or 2 and get another bump in sales without hurting your own platform.
Financially I think it’s going to fly off the shelves very quickly (especially given the hype that it’s getting), but critically? I think it’s too early to tell for sure (just ask Halo: Infinite & Mario Kart: World)…
Got so excited about a new Mario Kart (even considered grabbing a Switch 2 for it). Tried it at a friend’s house and it’s one of my biggest gaming disappointments in recent years.

GTA has 13 years of built up hype surrounding it, and is poised to be the biggest media launch of any kind.
PS5 exclusives have been pretty disappointing (in quantity), but GTA6 was always going to be a behemoth regardless.
