Common questions on PlayStation, surfaced from across the indexed web.

Do I regret buying a PlayStation 5 Pro already?

It's not like I regret selling my base PS5 for the upgraded Pro version, but I'd be lying if I said this generation hasn't felt unusually uncertain compared to Sony's previous console eras. There was a time when PlayStation exclusives arrived with rhythm and consistency, and even its best first-party studios pumped out multiple games in a generation. Now, however, entire years go by with almost nothing but CGI trailers, vague promises, and radio silence from studios that we once trusted blindly. Development cycles have ballooned out of control, and even announced games no longer feel guarantee
