Third Christmas So we’re finally limping towards the release of God Of War Ragnarök, after a summer games drought that seems to have lasted forever. I feel like I can blow the dust off my PlayStation 5 and hope that 2022 was just a brief lull in what has so far been a great run for the console.

I don’t mean this is in a fanboy ‘all the other consoles suck’ kind of a way, I just think that the PlayStation 5 has had a very good first couple of years and if it wasn’t for the pandemic starting to bite this year would probably have been even better.

I’d go further and say that no other console, or at least not one in the 3D era, has had such a good first two years. Seriously. It had a good launch, and then a stream of really good games at least every two or three months, right up to the slowdown around April this year.

The only rival I can think of is the Switch but while its first year was great – better than the PlayStation 5 – its second year was pretty poor, and it’s only got worse since then. I don’t know if this will make the PlayStation 5 the best console ever or anything, but I think it already is in terms of other hardware at the same point in their life.Boson

Second try Considering some of the rubbish Embracer has already committed to I’m pretty sure there will be another Saints Row. It might be another reboot but I don’t think they’ll give up on what used to be quite a big franchise. I am surprised find the CEO guy say that it didn’t make much money though, with the implication that it cost a lot of money
