The PlayStation 5 continues to smash it

No. It doesn't. I've read lots of articles implying the rate of adoption was slow, and most ps5 owners were just playing a lot of ps4 games for a long time.

It was shocking to me how little I cared. After like 4 years I own maybe 3 PS5 games and finished none of them.

I’m still rolling with a PS4 Pro my buddy gave me when he popped for a PS5. Honestly not feeling like I’m missing out.

It is, however, also fair to point out that I have also built and maintained a Gaming Machine of Theseus for many, many years.

Gaming Machine of Theseus

That might be the best, most relatable thing, I’ve read in ages. When people ask how old my PC is it’s… well… which part?

If we go by oldest part, I’ve got a really good KW seasonic PSU from probably a decade ago that’s still going strong. But pretty much everything else has evolved at one point or another from when that was introduced.
