    The PlayStation 5 continues to smash it

    No. It doesn’t. I’ve read lots of articles implying the rate of adoption was slow, and most ps5 owners were just playing a lot of ps4 games for a long time.

    It was shocking to me how little I cared. After like 4 years I own maybe 3 PS5 games and finished none of them.

      I got a PS5 so I could play Demons Souls Remaster, when that game launched.

      I haven’t touched the console since I beat the game. It has been sitting collecting dust for years, just like my Nintendo Switch did before I sold it.

    Sony just introduced a low-power mode for PS5 that looks like groundwork for some kind of PS5-compatible handheld so this ”leak” sounds very unlikely from the get go.

        This low power mode has RAM running at half the bandwidth which will really kneecap performance but is a common way to increase efficiency in mobile devices. If it was about saving power they wouldn’t make adapting existing games this hard IMO.
