Since I brought up exclusives, and it's been a bit since I did the rundown, figured I might do one again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:PlayStation_5-only_games
23 is the listed total, which would already be pitiful for a system about to enter its seventh year, for reference the FUCKING WIIU has 35 listed, and that's AFTER removing all the switch ports. But, that's not even the full story.
Of these 23 listed, 8 quite simply are not exclusive, whether it's because they're literally just ports of an existing game with a couple exclusive skins or something or they've already been announced for other platforms.
Of the remaining 15, 7 are unreleased, many without a release YEAR yet, let alone release date (though, wolverine is in a couple weeks, so it's somewhat borderline).
Of the remaining 8, one is a defunct live service that had its servers shut down a couple years ago, but no one even noticed until it was finally delisted from psn earlier this year.
Of the remaining 7, 2 are free pack-in downloads, one being a 2 hour tech demo with next to no replayability, the other being a 45 minute unironic psa about "cyberbullying... LE BAD!".
Of the remaining 5, one is a (likely ai coded) asset flip scam that was only made exclusive to ps5 because of how notoriously terrible their refund policy is.
Of the remaining 4, one is a $30 shovelware god of war spinoff. Broken, bugged, ugly, and genuinely one of the worst metroidvanias ever put out by a major studio, padding out its meager content with horrifically tedious walking back and forth across the map, and once you do finally get fast travel, none of the teleports actually are in convenient locations, so it's a band-aid on an axe wound, not a fix.
Which leaves us with 3 full retail titles actually exclusive to the ps5 that you can purchase right now (sure, if you want, you could make a case for adding wolverine here too, but it's not like that will make this list much better):
SAARos, a jank and jeeted roguelite about being cucked by lesbians for not being enough of an ally.
Ghost of Yotei, literal GoYslop, the thoroughly bastardized follow up to the surprisingly decent Ghost of Tsushima, openly waved in your face that they sold you an incomplete game by calling the paid update "complete edition".
And finally, Astrobot. An aggressively mediocre embodiment of "6/10, it's fine". Gameplay intended to be easy even for literal 3 year olds, mismatched with references to shit you need to be 30+ to remember, or modern stuff that a 3 year old is much too young to know, wrapped in a package of insane corporate autofellatio, with its mascot already apparently being put out to pasture and getting replaced by "le heccin quirky and relatable wholesome millennial anxiety chungus bear" hello kitty ripoff.

At least it'll still be kinda better than the current Xbox One list in the same way as comparing moving with crutches to crawling with broken legs, very dire states to live, but one is more managable.
The weekend has been hilarious reading the reaction of people to the Wolverine trailer and the reveal of Lady Deathstrike because nearly everyone confused the character for Psylocke and for the in-your-face repulsive look of the whole female cast. It's always funny seeing normies getting red pilled in real time. The only people defending this shit are the pony shill accounts.
Once is happenstance,
twice is coincidence,
three times is enemy action.
They are doing it on purpose and they'll call you insane, evil, gooner, incel and misogynist for noticing.
Who even fucking cares about "realistic" anyway? They're comic book superheroes! None of that's realistic.
I've always firmly believed anybody who made any adaptation of any superhero comic, but did not incorporate exclusively big-tittied women into the adaptation, is not actually a "comic book fan" and has no interest in making a faithful product. Women in comic books have always been conventionally attractive (which includes a large bust). Female superheroes, just like their male counterparts, have intentionally-exaggerated positive physical qualities. Superman is a big tall dude with a square jaw and muscles for days, not some scrawny 80 pound toothpick. That's on purpose. Female superheroes have huge racks. By design. You can stare at 'em if you like, just be mindful of the distraction while their owner beats your ass if you're a bad guy doing bad things.
I don't even read or like capeshit but still understand this bog-standard, dead-simple concept. Women with big tits are attractive. Powerful characters (male and female) have their physical characteristics exaggerated for effect. That means female heroines have bigger tits.
You come in to make a live-action or even a 3D animated product (or a video game), and you start casting the flattest women you can find to play Tits "Kill 'em With My Chest" McGee? You're a subversive scumbag peddling a stack of lies. You're certainly not making a derivative work that's faithful to the original. Very disrespectful.
It's like making a live-action Taimanin Asagi adaptation and casting flat women. Of course, that's exactly what some dumbasses in Japan tried (and it sucked for obvious reasons).
Like seriously guys? You couldn't have just bribed the Yakuza to get them to lend you Hitomi Tanaka for that shoot?
It's all about "body positivity" and "no sex shaming" until they're reminded healthy people are only attracted to actually-attractive members of the opposite sex (and not whatever lumpy, pierced, dyed, tattooed lump of flesh they themselves present to the world). Then suddenly it's bad again and being interested in (or even aware of) other people's (i.e. competitors') sexual characteristics is "bad."
Insomniac made a female character so ugly and far removed form what the actual character looks like that people genuinely weren't sure who they were supposed to be.

It would have been even funnier if they'd made her so hideously ugly people had genuinely mistaken her for a male character rather than "only" a different female character. That would have been fucking hilarious.
As it stands, "they made her so ugly people honestly couldn't tell who she was supposed to be and assumed she was some other ugly female character instead" is pretty bad/funny anyway.
Anyone who thinks Sony is going to go back on their digital only future is retarded.
Record numbers of PS5 pros being sold after GTA6 gameplay was teased proves that no matter what they do wrong there is no dissuading them from going down this path. There's too many whales that will buy whatever sony shoves out, no matter how bad it is.

Wait, Sony's games are now scanning politician's faces now? I wonder how much spin Toronto and Canada had to pull to get a character based on Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow:
What's next, a Sony game character with a Justin Trudeau or Jagmeet Singh face scan?
Wolverine is like a monument to everything wrong with modern game design. It's genuinely fascinating.
Scent trails and nightmare door minigames, just like every other pseudo open world game out right now.

In this case with Lady Deathstrike, the problem is the fact that she doesn't have circuitry and 80s-comics style cyborg tech doo-dads all over her skin and giant cyborg claws. She looks like a generic middle-aged Asian woman and then they had the brilliant idea of giving her a purple katana.
If they were going for her early appearance, then even this pre-cybernetics get-up looks more interesting than "woman who runs a nail saloon in a shopping plaza armed with a glowing energy katana".
