Despite Sony's many hints of drawing a stark line between the PS4 and PS5 libraries leading up to it’s launch, it appears that line isn’t going to be quite as clear or significant as many thought, at least at first. As a result, many who bought the PlayStation 5 thinking that they would have Horizon 2: Forbidden West and Sackboy all to themselves are now realizing that’s not exactly the case, and many who decided to wait on getting a PS5 are now feeling emboldened by that decision, opting to wait even longer, perhaps even long enough for a price drop or special edition bundle, as they can now expect to get PS4 versions of many of the PS5’s most anticipated games.

While PS5 owners can of course expect to get superior versions of those games, it goes without saying that their lack of exclusivity to that particular console has been underwhelming to see for some, and even inspiring some buyers remorse here and there. Are those feelings justified though? Is the cross-generation nature of many of Sony’s upcoming exclusives a problem to worry about, an advantage to celebrate, or something in between?
