      The thing is that we had a pandemic when PS5 released. It was a perfect time for scalpers to mass buy and sell overpriced. People were desperate to get their hands on the new console (also the 3000 Nvidia series), especially when you had to stay under quarantine. This time around most people got current gen consoles and their desired PCs. Scalpers will definitely not touch this shit.

    This quote really resonates with me: "I already accepted the fact that I am no longer the target market for the majority of things people are making". I am noticing I am really checking out on a lot of stuff, weather it's consoles, videogames, movies, media subscriptions, new phones. The thick layer of greed in providing goods & services is getting so obvious and obnoxious that I am opting out on a lot of things. Not because I am not potentially interested, but I am tired of being used as a walking wallet/cash machine.

      Ultimately it's a completely optional luxury product (as bad of a product as it appears). PS5 still seems like a much better value and product for vast majority of gamers. You can also buy a PS5 used/refurbished $300ish, so that is still the way for nearly everyone.

      As a PC gamer its insane that consoles are still in the dark ages. 60 fps is the BARE MINIMUM. Im so used to playing games at 100+ fps on my pc that now even 60 makes me go "ugh...". Though yes, you do get used to it after a while and its not terrible, unlike 30. I have no idea how people play games at 30 fps, not only does it look like a slideshow, even the inputs are so unresponsive. Its just a terrible experience.

      Sony reportedly stopped manufacturing bluray discs too. ps6 could be all digital. No cost for printing pshycial boxes, no cost for logistics, no cost for blu ray discs, no cost for third parties etc... its all money in their pockets. and? Is the digital cheaper?

      I think it actually came from a "we aren't a giant tech conglomerate like sony or microsoft", and Iwata's documented love of Apple. The latter's Jobsian philosophy focuses more on how people use hardware (at least in Iwata's application) as compared to raw power especially at around 2004 when PPC lost its efficiency edge. Nintendo didn't have the power of companies like AMD/NVIDIA (no, Flipper/Hollywood (GCN/Wii GPUs) don't count, since they were made by ArtX who was bought out by ATI and share no lineage with R300/Xenos (ATI's then chips). )

      Sony: “Nope. We're selling the disk drive separately, upping the price exponentially, and upgrading the specs. You have to play current gen only.”
      Me: “The specs for regular PS5 are fine. This is unnecessary. I will keep my physical disks, thank you. And I am tired of switching cables when I want to play an old game. I want my old games to run faster without that hassle. Barely anything these days are made like those old ones. I don't care about upgrading specs these days. The regular PS5 filled my satisfaction on that. I want unique and fun gameplay, beautiful visual styles and art direction, and creative premise that has not been done to death. I want my unfed niches fed.”

Neither of these RE games are "smaller" or less "realistic", nope, they were simply made on a more efficient engine. By the way, to put things in perspective with a niche example, the Overwatch "2" devs blamed the engine as one of the excuses to change to 5v5 instead of continuing with the 6v6 format, the "new" engine couldn't sustain 10 players at the same time, we're talking about a early PS4 game who have potato graphics that mimics Pixar, c'mon now

      The good thing is, I feel like those people make of the great minority of gamers. I think most gamers, especially now a days know to look for a better price or wait. I wait on most games that I really want like 90% of the time for a sale, for a decrease, anything. Same with consoles. Hoping more people do the same

    With inflation i don’t think its that bad my only problems would be it not having a disc drive and them still using zen 2. But we get a lot more gpu power and memory bandwidth plus 2tb of storage. It not gonna help games that are cpu bound like space marines 2. At a bare minimum Sony should’ve use a 5000 series chip. I buy everything and like collecting even though i have 2 beast gaming rigs 7950x3d 4090 and 7800x3d nitro 7900xtx i play many games on console because i like buying a physical copy. Many times i end up buying 2 copies of the same game to play on consoles and pc. But if i can play games at 1440p or 4k at 60fps I’m perfectly happy on a console. And we will probably see more games run 120hz with the Pro. I have a series x, ps5, og switch, oled switch, steam deck 512gb, asus ally, and a couple laptops 13900hx 4080, 10875h 4070S, 8750h 1070. So im all in on this gaming hoppy and just love to play games and collect gpu’s and pc parts hell some of my tinker systems are still decently powerful 5950x Taichi 6800xt, 5800x3d ftw 3 3080ti, 5700x strix 2080, 3600 nitro 5700xt, 9900ks strix 2080ti. I dont think the pro is for everyone as you can see by it sells, mainline consoles sale out fast but mid gen refresh not as much. Only time will tell and I’m wondering if Microsoft gonna respond.

    The console is essentially $880. Tax is like 10¢ per dollar and most people are going to want to get the harddrive attachment thingy, and that's $100 extra, so yeah, you're talking $880 for that, and IF you really want the vertical stand for some reason, well then your total is like $915. It's just absolutely absurd. I didn't get a PS3 at launch because it was like $800 (with tax), I waited over a year for it, so yeah, now I'm much older and have too much to pay for, so there is no way in hell I'm paying $880 for a mid generation jump in console. I'll wait for the PlayStation 6.

As much as I'd like to upgrade to a new PC, I'm rather content with the consoles I do have, since some of them I can take on the go, like the Vita and the Switch.

    They did the research and found out that 75% of their market preferred 60 fps compared to maximized graphics.
    A smart person would take this and say: "hmm, maybe we shouldn't waste so much time on realism and graphics and instead focus on making a fun game with a defined style that isn't so graphically demanding and ages poorly when the technology gets better."
    And then you have Sony. 700$ for a box that does the thing that only 25% of your audience wants.

    As a game dev, I think it's pretty apparent that most people would rather play a game at 720P with 60+ FPS before they ever play at 2K or even 4K resolution, but locked at 30 FPS.
    Nintendo figured this shit out long ago, that players prefer performance over graphic fidelity- therefore they don't need to dump billions of dollars into superficial hardware upgrades.
    That's not really an upgrade to me, especially considering how small of a difference there is in each side-by-side comparison.
    Sony is now in the business of selling S-tier screenshot-machines. I think I'll stick to my PC for a very long time.
