if you’re not really there for it then sure, but i got a ps5 for ff7 remake, kh3 and ff16 and i personally think I got my money’s worth. loved every goddamn second.
it helped that I got p5r and expedition 33 as well, what a beaut of a bonus they were
Them being told they’re timed exclusives isn’t really the problem being discussed though. Seems weird to invalidate a console having a game just because it’s available elsewhere. If you don’t already have a PC, a PS5 for it’s performance is way cheaper than getting the PC equivalent.
this isn’t really totally relevant anymore because I’m late in replying (as usual) but they were games that I was excited to play as soon as they came out because I knew that I would enjoy them and I knew I didn’t want them to be spoiled for me by the internet, which it’s become very good at doing
…so for me, at the time, they were exclusives, even though they aren’t anymore
I’m just adding historical context that those games were exclusives. If them being exclusive meant “the ps5 has games” then timed exclusivity didnt really help in this case.

They might mean exclusives, of which none of those apply. But I personally don’t think exclusives are a good thing anyway.
FF7 Remake, Rebirth and FF16 were timed exclusives, though all have since left and Square Enix said “never again, it wasn’t profitable enough.”

I have played the exact same games as you have, but add AstroBot.
