We've had PS5 for just over five years now and it's time to reflect on how Sony has done with their latest console so far. It's interesting in that the device was plagued with supply issues, long development cycles, and cancelled live service games. But it also brought us the DualSense, 3D Audio, consistent 60fps across most games, the speedy SSD, PSSR on PS5 Pro, a new PS Plus revamp, PS5 game streaming, the PS Portal, there's a LOT to go over. Can PS5 shake off this bad reputation? That's the question we try to answer here. Or at least I do. Just me rambling again. Don't mind me. (Mind me)
