Should I buy a ps5?

I offered to buy a ps5 from someone, but my friends tell me not to buy it because this is the 1st gen supposedly there's a lack of what they could recommend

Oa

In my opinion, a PS5 is not recommended anyway.

My recommendation in general: Save on a good PC, but obviously not now.

But I'm sure that you can have fun with the first generation if you just want to. But the best of all is actually to wait until the device is fully developed.

But in no case pay more than the MSRP.

I read these claims all the time. Who of your "friends" really has a PS5 themselves, and what specific problems?

Since day 1 I've never had any major problems, and certainly none of the ones that are so often rumored.

There are faulty batches (as is the case with every device, by the way) but the vast majority run without problems

For example, I have neither fan chatter nor coil fever or anything else

Super whine can occur with every Playstation 5.

At the moment the Playstation 5 is not recommended at all.

Personally, I would rather wait for the second revision. Not called the Playstation 5 Slim or Pro but a slightly revised version of the Playstation 5.

Why is the Playstation 5 currently not recommended?

The Playstation 5 causes a lot of problems. → See coil whine, which can occur IN EVERY PLAYSTATION 5, the loud fans typical of Sony and fast controllers are defective.

In addition, the difference between the Playstation 4 Pro and the Playstation 5 is not particularly great and there are no Playstation 5 exclusive titles.

This is because corresponding messages give the impression that this occurs particularly frequently.

I got three consoles myself on the day of release. I kept two and gave one away. None of them cause any problems. Absolutely none. (two digital, one with drive).

True, but the bigger problem is PlayStation haters, who spread these messages and invent something in the process. If you then ask, the people who write this never own a PS5 themselves, they just want to set the mood.

The best example is the guy here in the forum who is probably very well known to you and who also spreads his nonsense here under this question.

Yes, it is known. But nobody takes that seriously either. 😄 Except for a few questioners who are actually looking for help.
