I stopped here, "Sure, 2023’s looking bright if you’re in it for the games." Isn't that why you buy a games console?
Personally, I think now is the perfect time to buy a PS5. While the PS5's 2023 games look a little thin in terms of first party, you have the back catalogue of games to see you through the first 6 months or so, a bunch of them you can get cheap via PS Plus extra. End of year you have Spider-Man 2, and with first party being so thin means 2024 should be a good year in that regard.
This is why I am 90% sue I'm picking up a PS5 during the holiday period.
Ghost of Tshima DD
Demon's Souls
Horizon FW
Spider-Man MM
Returnal.
GOW Ragnarok.
Uncharted Collection. (Want to give this franchise another chance.)
Last of Us 2.
Spider-Man 2
All that Plus Xbox games like Starfield, Redfall, Forza Motorsport.
Plus all the 3rd party stuff.
My 2023 will be banging.
