I'm still planning on picking up a Series X whenever I can find stock since I want to take advantage of my Gamepass Ultimate subscription, but unless you're the type of player who buys every single PS game at release I don't know how you can complain about lack of games on the PS5. I also find it strange to complain about the lack of PS5 exclusives when the Series X has yet to have a single exclusive game get released for it
If I only had a PS5 I would be in the same boat as you, replaying games from the old generation, 100%ing Demon Souls (or at least attempting to and then quitting a day or two later), revisiting older games that look and play better on the new console.

But I have both systems, so it plays out differently for me. Strictly being a console gamer, I am currently playing 4 games that aren't available on PS5/PS4 or Switch:

Halo MCC
Flight Sim
The Ascent
Death's Door

Yes all are available on PC, but like many people and pretty much all my friends that I still game with, we prefer the console ecosystem. Not to mention we aren't in to spending multiple thousands of dollars for a good pc, great monitors, solid peripherals, etc.

And as for the exclusive point, everyone keeps saying it, but can you play any of the games I listed on your PS5? no...you can't. Sure if you have a top of the line PC you can play all those at better performance than the Series consoles and I am happy for you that you can enjoy them! they are fun to play. But if you don't and you only have a PS5 or PS4.....I guess there is no other way to play them for now and you are left playing old games that maybe you haven't played before.

Xbox series consoles will never have a console only exclusive, so can we stop talking about "Xbox console exclusive" perhaps talk more "Gamepass ecosystem exclusive". I still don't see a problem with that, getting games to more gamers is always a good thing!
