I have a confession to make, and it may shock you. Are you ready for it? Here it goes: I have never owned a PlayStation console. Yes, you read that correctly. I know, I know, it's hard to believe. But before you jump to any conclusions, let me explain why.
First of all, let me clarify that I am not a hermit. I have played on a PlayStation before, but I have never owned one myself. It's not because I have anything against Sony or their consoles. It's just a combination of coincidence, indifference, and poverty that has kept me from owning a PlayStation for the past 30 years.
But now, after all this time, I have finally decided to put an end to this Playstation-less streak. That's right, I have pre-ordered a PS5 Pro for myself. It may seem like a strange choice after all these years, but let me tell you, I have my reasons.
One of the main reasons is that I find it ironic that my first PlayStation console will also be the least popular one, at least according to popular opinion on the internet. But that's not all. Let me take you through my journey of gaming consoles and explain why I have never felt the need to own a PlayStation until now.
It all started with the original PlayStation console. I didn't get one because I already had a N64, and I was perfectly content with it. Super Mario 64 and Zelda were top-notch games, and the PS1's graphics just couldn't compete. Of course, I knew that the PS1 was more popular, but I was convinced that I had made the right choice.
Next came the PlayStation 2. I probably would have gone for it, considering the lack of competition, but I ended up getting a Dreamcast instead. Unfortunately, the Dreamcast didn't last long, and I also moved in with my girlfriend, which caused my interest in gaming to dwindle for a few years.
But then came the Xbox 360, and I was intrigued by the game Mass Effect. So I got myself an Xbox 360, and I was more than happy with it. However, as you can probably guess, this led me to make the mistake of buying an Xbox One. I soon realized that I had picked the wrong horse, but I was torn between getting a Nintendo Switch or a PlayStation 4.
In the end, I chose the Switch because I had not owned a Nintendo console since the days of N64, and I was drawn to their games. And let me tell you, I have not regretted that decision. However, I am now ready to add a PlayStation 5 to my collection.
In the past, I couldn't afford to buy two consoles at once, and the games on PlayStation just didn't appeal to me enough to make the extra effort. I did play games like The Last of Us and God of War at a friend's house, but they didn't grab me as much as I had hoped. Perhaps it's because they are more suited for playing alone and relaxed.
But now, with the PS5 Pro on the horizon, I am excited to finally give all the classics a go. I am especially looking forward to playing Bloodborne. I know the PS5 Pro isn't a major improvement from the original, but since it will be my first PlayStation console, I might as well start at the top.
I would ask for game recommendations, but honestly, it's pretty obvious at the moment. I just hope they are worth the wait. And to clarify, the special editions mentioned in the original text are not relevant to my decision to finally get a PlayStation.
In conclusion, I hope this explains why I have waited so long to join the PlayStation family. I am aware that my first PlayStation console may not be the most popular one, but I am excited to finally be a part of it. And who knows, maybe this time around, I will find a new love for PlayStation games.
