PS5: 10 Reasons You Should Be WORRIED

5. Lacklustre Features

One of the reasons why Sony might not be ready to show the PS5 off more is due to the features, or the lack thereof.

While we know the console won't have any loading times and things will run a whole lot better, there haven't been that many announcements about features. The only real feature, for now, is backwards compatibility.

This feature comes with a caveat though. Backwards compatibility has only been confirmed for PS4 games. At launch, hundreds of games will be backwards compatible, but not all. It's not hard to see why this is a huge letdown, because the competition is delivering full backwards compatibility for every generation.

The other big feature that has been specified so far is 3D Audio. Cerny said it himself, the implementation of 3D Audio is going to be a process that'll take multiple years before it's accessible for everybody.

That's a huge downside for many people how can't afford expensive audio hardware. Sony needs to do better and speak up about what's going to make this console special and they need to do it soon.
