    Playstation 5 setup should be a single login, then download and install firmware updates and before playing a game install another update.

    These are the extra steps, and depending on the size of the updates, internet speed, and server (over)load they can take a very long time. PS2 was as simple as put disk in machine and play game, no updates required or even possible.

    This of course meant that some times games shipped with show stopper bugs that got missed or ignored with no way to fix it. This was also abused, shipping with known issues so they could be on shelves for Xmas with the assumption that they would be fixed before the game was in the hands of customers.
