Sales on current-gen consoles must've not been great

Last as in "previous" or "final"?

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

"Last gen" pretty universally means previous

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But given how hard it is to convince people to move off of that generation, "last" could start to have other meanings.

If you're developing a chill, low-graphics indie game in Unity these days, there is still basically no reason to target the PS5.

Pretty sure their target would be "anyone who wants to buy the game".

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The point being, you can target the PS4 for that though.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

You can target lots of things. And most probably do, cause if you limit yourself to one platform your audience diminishes severely.

Darn, I was hoping there wouldn't be any more. 🙁

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Any more what? If you mean me consoles, they've been out almost 4 years now

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I gave up keeping track of console generations over a decade ago; All my stuff is on PC.

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Then why did you ask in the first place?

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Because I was trying to be funny.

Why are you so invested?
