While the PlayStation 5 (PS5) is set to be available at the end of the year, does that mean the PS4 won't be worth buying this generation? We'll look at 4 reasons why the PS4 is still worth buying.
Affordable price
With the release of the PlayStation 5, expect the PS4 to drop in price. And, if you don't want to buy brand new, you may also find great deals on used and refurbished products.
A large percentage of these used devices come from PS4 owners who want to buy a PS5, and some consoles may even come with their own games.
A huge library of games
When it comes to gaming, the PS4 boasts an impressive library of hundreds of games.
This includes exclusives like God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, Mystic Ocean 4, Days of Future Past, Horizon, and more. Rest assured, you won't be short of quality games.
New games coming soon
Just because the PS5 is coming out doesn't mean that the PS4 will stop releasing new games.
There are still plenty of big games ready to go, such as The Last Survivor II, Spirit of Tsushima, Marvel's Avengers, and Cyberpunk 2077.
Ongoing support
Sony released the PS4 about three years before discontinuing the PlayStation 3 in 2016. Also five years after releasing the PS4, the last game for the PS3 (FIFA 19) was released in 2018 September release.
Based on these two dates, expect the PS4 to still be getting new games and official support for a few years.
