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if they keep it up long and hard enough maybe making games for outdated systems will become a necessity rather than a quirky niche thing some of us do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 I'm still upset there was a PS5 in the first place... I feel like people have been made to lose sight of what consoles should be. Sony and Microsoft are just packaging miniaturized computers crammed into a case with insufficient airflow and then they do a "next generation" that is actually really basically just the same generation running on a smaller process at higher clocks — the equivalent of just popping in a new CPU and GPU in a real PC without having to buy a whole new system. (Alright, sometimes a new CPU means a new motherboard and rarely even new RAM, but the point is PCs are incremental whereas these consoles essentially have to sell a whole new system for what is only an increment.)
I feel consoles are supposed to be specialized. Like the Switch for instance.
