Wait for PS5 Pro Max Ultimate............or PS6

I don’t think they will end the cycle so soon as PS5 is going into the usual high demand cycle after 4 years. The next 3 or 4 years will determine whether it will outsell PS4 and PS5 but looking at the sales, I think it will probably outsell PS4 and PS5 but can’t reach PS2 level which is god like sales numbers 😝

firmware hack or cartridge hardware mod?

that depends actually if switch 2 offers backwards compatibilty. if it is, then yes wait for switch 2. however can foresee the launch price go over 2k-3k ++ due to our shit currency. and plus, rumors- so take it with a grain of salt.

if TS want a cheap console and myriad library of games now, better get the OG switch. its cheap enough, you can get 1 around rm1.1k . A much better buy compared to the PS4.

PS4 feels terribly dated, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

i sell second hand now include the VR set

can pm me your budget and we can discuss

I play DOA xtreme 3 on my PS4.

Don't want get PS5. Don't have the games I interested.

new /AAA games- rm180-200

Others- within rm150 and below .

Sadly no PSPlus equivalent for switch. the games offered by NSO are pure rubbish.

If u can't afford then get ps4, if budget allow then ps5. Ps5 second hand games is cheaper than ps4. Wtf.

Depend on which tier of game you buying, I mainly buy first party game from nintendo only and it usually at the highest tier range.
for higher tier games (first party games from nintendo, USD59.99, except Zelda: TOTK, USD69.99) can be find around RM190~RM220 in shopee, but also depend on demand and popularity sellers may jack up the price. I usually wait until around RM200 or lower (with voucher) only consider to buy, but for my case I don't mind waiting longer to buy for cheaper price, or if 2nd hand is worth it, but most of the time not for game I looking for, the price just make me buy new instead because price differ very minimal.

All news points to Switch 2 being backward compatible. It would be suicidal for it not to be. Switch 2 will be based on NVIDIA chipset again. So backward compatibility is a given. Nintendo themselves has mentioned (indirectly) there will be ease of transition from current Nintendo accounts.

Just firmware hack, easy to set up

OLED switch = Futureproof?? kek... next gen Nintendo console gonna come out next year la wei..

Looking at Nintendo history, most likely it will have backward compatibility for same product line, unless they came out with new product line just like Wii -> Switch last time.

Console lifespan around 8-10 years
We are at 4th year. Still a long time

Nintendo will keep using Nvidia since AMD doesn't provide ARM SoC for handheld at the moment. Also ARM is better for handheld form factor since it's more power efficient and Nvidia new custom Tegra SoC (codename Drake based on leaks) is said to pack DLSS and RTX capabilities so it is very beneficial for Nintendo to stay on Nvidia route.

Rumors said graphics will be PS4 for handheld and PS4 Pro for docked mode. But it's still good for me since it's hybrid handheld ma, not your classic home console.

ya but ps4 already more than 10 years old and playing newer AAA games there is loud like jet engine. so i really dont recommend getting one this point unless you really want to play ps4 exclusive games

Was referring to PS5 lifespan

maybe save up for ps5 slim digital, you can add disc drive later.

i waited 3 years baru bought the ps5. my old ps4 disc drive rosak, and jet engine liao if play God of war.

if you are fine without playstation exclusive, you can get Xbox series S and Game pass. I've use it for over a year, i like it.

if you have kids, can get the oled nintendo switch.

Sony already announced la bro that they already entering the end cycle phase of this gen. PS6 will probably launch in late 2026 or early 2027 so that's about 6 years, 4 years shorter than usual console lifespan.

in terms of backward compatibility, ps5 can play most of your ps4 library of games.

but for series s/x it can play all of the xbox one, xbox 360 or some old 1st gen xbox game.

for switch, don't expect their game on sale digitally. better buy used copy if you're in tight budget. and their backward compatibility is non existence in Switch. my OG switch is sitting collecting dust right now. only turn on if there's a good AAA game comes out.
