I think a part of it is that they won’t be able to play old games they have on discs on the consoles, and another is that, for the PlayStation, at least, you can play blu-ray movies on it, too, with the disc slots.

Without understanding it’s history, science devolves.

I’d recommend an X for y’all

It might be an issue specifically with that model of the ps4. I had my ps4 since 2015, and it still works perfectly. Personally, it was just time for me to switch to the ps5 for, and they luckily had one in stock, but if I hadn’t gotten it, I would’ve still been perfectly happy with my ps4. And I only cleaned out the dust every 2-3 months, too.

Edit: I have used an xbox, and it wasn’t too bad, but I prefer the PlayStation.

Since you prefer the single player story games, I’d recommend the PS5 for you. I prefer those games, too, and really wanted the PlayStation exclusives, like Spider-Man, which is why it was the best option for me.
