New Controllers are out for the new PS 5 Game System. The new controllers are in the colors of " Midnight Black" and "Cosmic Red". These controllers are a bit pricey, each around $70.00.

Personally, I don't know why they are introducing new controllers for people to buy when many people still can not even find a PS 5 Game System to buy yet!!!! Our family has been trying to get one of the new PS 5 game systems for months and no luck yet. I think they need to make the Game System more and readily available for people to buy. JMHO!

That's an excellent question SS. Obviously they're still making money from the original purchases made by bots, scalpers, etc, so they're not seeing the bigger problem yet. However, I think there was the idea to release new controllers shortly after the console itself to begin with so I imagine they're just going through with that plan.

It's also an issue of chips. I believe there is still a chip shortage out there because of the pandemic so they're slower to roll out consoles than in years past, so what little stock gets made and released is snatched up so it feels like what Nintendo will do to create that need to buy something since it's "limited."

However, these statements are just my two cents.

I totally respect that. I was never one to just buy a new console for the sake of it, but after seeing Legacy of Kain on the PS1 at the time I was hooked. However, I wait for that game that I absolutely MUST play before I get anything.

In fact, to tell the truth, it's the same for the different Xboxes ! From now many years, I haven't played at all on a console put on a TV ! Switch is gonna be the only exception as my girlfriend want to be able to play with me (at video games !! ) so...
I'm only on handheld devices and that's a choice !

Makes sense. I love my Switch, but the issue with owning multiple consoles comes with the different games available. Couple that with the fact I've put myself in the "MMO hole" I tend to try and stick with one console as much as possible. If I had someone interested in playing together on the Switch, well that would obviously change my direction

What are your thoughts on the Switch Pro / Switch 2?

We are goint to buy a swich soon ! As it's the same : my girlfriend wants to play with me (or me playing with her !! ).

Excellent points Darkil, and you are probably right. I was talking with someone the other day and told them about the new controllers but the lack of systems available. They wondered why the new controllers but no new systems also. Their theory was that perhaps the new controllers help more people to play games together on the systems already available. I don't know. I just hope they get more consoles out asap. We are still waiting for one.

See as how a new gameplay trailer dropped today for Horizon Forbidden West, really hoping the stock shortages get solved soon. I'm going to want to play that game.

You and me both WB. My god I absolutely adore Horizon Zero Dawn and eagerly anticipate, and perhaps salivate, at the chance to play the sequel. The gameplay is amazing and Aloy is a great character!

I've been enjoying a 3rd play through on PC, game really shines there with 6- FPS. Hoping the sequel does get a PC port too sometime after PS5 release!
