Depends upon what you pay - certainly the second market will see a surge and drop in prices. If you can tech on top end 5 years later, it's not that bad and sure wallet friendly.

Also factor in that it usually takes a few years until the full potential of a platform it tapped, so the PS4 in it's prime days for games.

I do not understand your argument as the parent post is saying the PS5 can play PS4 games. So the PS5 will also benefit from the great games coming on PS4. The prices of the games would be the same, you would benefit from the same experience of the devs developing on the PS4. The only disadvantage is that the PS5 will be pricer. And it will also be less ecological-friendly if you intend to buy an used PS4. But that's it.

I've seen a few people who ride one generation back and buy used. It means you can get the console incredibly cheap (and can choose the best/most reliable variant), have a huge catalogue of games to explore (which are also incredibly cheap), and already know which games are standout and which are misses. Doesn't work if you're into the latest multiplayer games though.
