PlayStation 5 games lineup makes purchasing a next-gen console supremely tempting but the PS5's price tag in some countries will leave fans with hard choices to make

A fan-made image of some of the major titles lined up for the PlayStation 5 has appeared online and excited many waiting for their PS5 pre-order to be fulfilled. However, while the next-gen console is a reasonable purchase in some countries, in others buying one is a difficult decision for even the most loyal fan to make.

So, let's see...

R&C: Long-running franchise, PS4 reboot, new title PS5 release: unknown. Likely not this year.
Spider-man: PS4 title, remaster+story DLC being sold as a new game for PS5.
Horizon: PS4 franchise, new title PS5 release: "2021" whatever that means.
Bloodborne: PS4 franchise, no known plans for remaster or sequel.
GoW: long-running franchise, PS4 reboot, PS5 sequel rumored. If real, late 2021 at the very earliest.
TLoU: PS3+PS4 franchise, no known plans for remaster or sequel.
Ghost of Tsushima: PS4 game.
Demon's Souls: PS3 game, remaster is PS5 launch title
Days Gone: PS4 game, lukewarm reception, no announced plans for sequel or remaster.
Dreams: very innovative PS4 ... game? Playground? Creative tool? Whatever it is, it already exists.

So I can't quite say that this image makes buying a PS5 tempting for now. Maybe in late 2021? Sony's launch (and short term post-launch) lineup is pretty much the same as Microsoft's, just that MS has less exclusives but more backwards compatibility and scale those better to the new hardware.

A legenda do Mapa está errada, não é "renda vs preço do PS5" é só a renda média após impostos! Aqui o nome original do Mapa: "Rankings by Country of Average Monthly Net Salary (After Tax) (Salaries And Financing)"

Please mention about Iran. In Iran due to sanctions we have lack of PS4. Surely takes lots of times that PS5 be available in Iran. Now the price of PS4 Pro is more than 600 USD in Iran while average family income according local news is less than 200 USD! Iran has 80 millions people with a lot of gamers that really can't afford the prices.

In Turkey a person who earns minumum wage must keep all 4 month salary for buying only one PS5.

At the same time period a person who earns minumum wage at USA can get nearly 15x PS5.

Welcome! This is earth...
