part of me thinks the PS5 getting *more expensive* at the end of a console generation is kind of funny. like. the tech industry got so ravenously hungry that now the flow of progress is reversing

if they keep it up long and hard enough maybe making games for outdated systems will become a necessity rather than a quirky niche thing some of us do

(probably not though)

@eniko
It is entirely plausible that there will remain market for software that runs on potato hardware simply because of costs. AAA games have largely looked "good enough" for at least a decade at this point. Even a lot of stuff from the 360/PS3 console era hold up, especially the more cartoony games.
