PS6 is the first PlayStation I have considered skipping. I've owned all 5.

Same same …

 

[Ruz Leon]

I missed out on the PS4 generation because I just had other things going on and wasn't really into gaming at the time.

 

[Jesb]

Yes, this one. I guess I got lucky when you couldn't buy a PS5 for the longest time. That made me disinterested in the generation, helped with PS5 being complete ass. Very thankful for GFN. It's all I've needed.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Not a whole generation, but I skipped Xbox, 360, and N64. I don't even think I paid attention to Xbox until that Xbox One announcement. N64 I played at friends houses but I couldn't have multiple consoles as a kid.

 

[Itchy Tickles]

It was this current gen. Due to covid, chip shortages, console shortages, and my migration to just be PC full time, I ended up skipping it. I did save money for a ps5 but never got into any sites random lotteries, so I just moved on.

It did feel sad in the sense I had so many memories, made so many friends, and even just it being a big entertainment event I loved every few years in my life and always with loved ones.
Looking at it now, I didn't miss anything outside of the Demon's Souls remake, but I still had that empty feeling like the last day of school, either going to high school or finishing up completely, knowing you'll likely not see all your friends again or everyone will naturally just grow apart. A new console was part of my life since I was child and not getting into this gen was an odd experience. Not to be dramatic

 

[MLSabre]

I stopped after the PS3/X360/Wii generation. If you want to be pedantic, the 3DS was my last handheld console.

Afterwards, it's been PC ever since. Tried out a few Switch games from friends but I never bought one.

 

[FoxMcChief]

No, but I will from now on. Zero reason to own a Xbox or PlayStation going forward, imo.

 

[bruno_shady]

I sold my PS1 to get some money to buy a PC, then skipped PS2 generation...
Got back to consoles at PS3

 

[existensmaximum]

I skipped N64, Saturn, PS1 and PS2 because of the primitive, ugly 3D graphics. Got into console gaming again with the PS3 when it looked half-decent.

Also got the GameCube eventually, and then the Wii. So the N64 is the only Nintendo console I've skipped, hated that thing when it was new and still do. It has aged like sour milk.

 

[Gambit2483]

Skipped an Entire generation? No.
But I've already dropped Xbox (again), and if Sony is truly going the anti-consumer route then I'm out.

No way in hell am I paying $1000+ just for the privilege to be reamed by Sony. They can miss me with that. I'd sooner go the PC route, where I at least have Options.

 

[Doczu]

Yesz i skipper current gen. I sat on my PS4 Pro for a long time, waited for Sony to announce the 5 Pro and i got priced out. Not that i can't affird one - i just din't want to pay that much for a console.

Now with what Sony is prepping for next gen (Xbix probably too) i just peace out and go retro and pc indie.

Fuck em

 

[sono]

Skipped 5.

Too expensive Too Big Not enough first party i want

 

[p_xavier]

I'm done with gaming after this gen. Last FFVII Revelation, after that done. Diminishing returns anyways, have a PS5 Pro, what will a PS6 bring?!

 

[kikii]

NO, but might skip ps6 if they dont backtrack their current stuff ^^

 

[German Shocks]

So the N64 is the only Nintendo console I've skipped, hated that thing when it was new and still do. It has aged like sour milk.

The N64's blurry textures were an eyesore, eh?

 

[tusharngf]

Skipped ps5 just to get a rtx 3080 rig

 

[MayauMiao]

Sure with the PS5 generation.

 

[Paasei]

So far I haven't. Always got a console for a few exclusives here and there. Hardly ever gotten one at launch, though. No need when your main platform has always been PC.

 

[Baemono]

You missed the GOAT!

I missed having parents having money

 

[Sansmetal]

I've skipped consoles for the last 15 years, ever since I sold my Xbox 360 in 2010 to go full PC. But I grabbed a PS5 a couple of months ago when they announced the price increase. Figured it was finally time to jump back in for GTA 6 and a few exclusives I'd been missing out on.

 

[existensmaximum]

The N64's blurry textures were an eyesore, eh?

Everything about it was. Coming from the glorious, perfect pixel art of the SNES to the blurry, low-poly horrible mess that was the N64 graphics along with horrible controls was rough for me. Hated that thing and have never gotten any enjoyment out of it.

I just couldn't believe how anyone could consider it an improvement.

 

[CashPrizes]

If there was a generation in-between the Intellevision and the NES, that is the only time I would have skipped.
I have owned every Sega Console except the GameGear, every Nintendo console except the Virtual Boy and WiiU, every Playstation console and portable, and the first 2 Xboxes.
