It just doesn't make sense to buy a Series X if you want to play games that are only on PlayStation. Also, PS4 support will fade away and new games will be current gen only.

A handful of games? There are a ton of games you can play on PlayStation but not on Xbox. It would be short sighted to buy the last gen PS4 when you could get a PS5 and play both existing games and new ones to come. There has never been an instance where the previous console has continued to get support throughout the newer consoles life, so PS4 support absolutely will disappear. I'm not sure you're right about PS4 still being manufactured either... They certainly don't seem to be available at retail in the UK. I'm not trying to say PS5 is the better choice over a Series X. All I am saying is that you can't say the Series X is the right choice either.

Where can I buy a new PS4?

Who's beating Gran Turismo in 10 to 20 hours?

I'm pushing 40hrs on GT7, enjoying it and only just scraping the surface. I had no idea it was received badly though... I'm curious so I'll look into that!

I think you might be referring to user reviews, from people who were pissed about microtransactions being added. As far as I can tell crtitics have given generally good reviews.

I chose Expert Mode on the initial setup screen and then manually turned off corner markers and reduced traction control. The cars handle great in my opinion... it's very typical simcade controls that I'd expect from Gran Turismo.

My only complaint is the occasional frame skips, but I am on PS4 pro, so I'd be curious to see how it runs on a PS5.

PS4 is still being manufactured, Xbox One stopped manufacture in 2020

Interesting because pre-owned is the only option here in the UK.

Sony themselves said production would continue throughout 2022

Yeah a Google search validates that claim - they made a statement in January. Perhaps it was only for certain regions though because they definitely aren't available the UK and haven't been for a while. That other guy said you can walk into a store in North America and take a PS4 off the shelf.
