Sony’s PlayStation 5 has received another temporary price cut in the UK, dropping to around £330, a level some players call «an amazing deal» and potentially the cheapest effective entry point for a PlayStation console when adjusted for inflation. Despite a gloomy narrative around this generation, readers point to a packed release slate, citing Silent Hill f and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, as proof there’s plenty to play without the cost or hassle of a gaming PC.
On the Nintendo side, the Switch 2 continues to puzzle fans. Beyond well-aired launch hardware complaints, readers are surprised by the lack of colour variants, even for Joy-Con, arguing the uniform look is unusual for Nintendo and fuels the impression the system was rushed to market.
There’s also frustration over how Nintendo has (not) showcased the console’s capabilities. While the machine is said to be more powerful than expected, fans say there’s been little marketing around demanding third-party ports, mentioning Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars Outlaws, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Resident Evil Requiem, and Elden Ring—leaving publishers to «fend for themselves.»
Elsewhere, the industry’s development timelines are under the microscope. Readers hold up Insomniac Games as a rare big-studio example of regular releases, from Sunset Overdrive (2014) through Spider-Man 2 (2023) and the upcoming Wolverine (2026), arguing that a multi-pronged pipeline may smooth schedules better than trying to compress AAA dev cycles outright.
Not every experiment is winning hearts. Football upstart Rematch earned a nod as «pretty good,» but without real teams it’s seen as no threat to EA Sports FC. And premium handhelds, some pushing £800, remain a hard sell, dismissed by one reader as prestige toys for brand loyalists.
Bottom line: with PS5 pricing aggressively low, value-minded players have fresh incentive to jump in, while Nintendo faces continued scrutiny over messaging and momentum for its newest hardware.
