These New Xbox Prices Are Truly Terrifying for PS6

If there’s anything that xbox keeps beating ps5 whenever it becomes second, it's the price 😁

I will say that historically Microsoft have been much worse than Sony or Nintendo in getting the prices lowered. Having said that, the next gen systems are going to have a rough time trying to get people excited.

They should just postpone new consoles formfive.years. this is ridiculous

Sony's recent attitudes and screwing customers just to fund their corporate lunches means I don't care about a PS6.
I mean the 5's been bad enough but about a grand for an unspecified console with probably even scarcer games that it's predecessor?
Take me back to the PS4 days!

Wow...how uninformed could anybody be to pole vault the PS5 and go buy Xbox at this time...unless you have a backlog from 360, or a diehard fan which you're likely to already own one, this is ridiculous.

Glad I bought my PS5 Pro at launch, as well as a 4TB SSD

@get2sammyb I was referring to the PS5s launch, and when it launched, PS5 was little more than a PS4 Pro impersonator! PS6 could easily suffer from the same problem, especially given game development timescales these days.

Main complaint with the 5 (apart from the ever inflating price for 6-7 year old tech and ugly looks) are the creaking Driftsense controllers - just had another one go even through we have 4 original DS4s and 3 original DS3s which don't suffer from the same problem. Will I bother buying another controller? Doubt it.

I am sure Sony is feeling grateful that they can (hopefully) hold prices until next March.

Xbox's years of neglecting consoles under Phil and Sarah mean that Asha has to raise the price to not lose an even larger amount of money.

This isn't about Xbox for Sony anymore; They are already in pole position.

Now it is about how many consoles they can shift before they have to raise their prices again.

Sales for both Xbox and PS5 are going to be just a bit below what they were in the last gen once all the GTA 6 consoles are sold through.

The thing that will help both Xbox Series and PS5 will be GTA 6. It is the rising tide that will lift all sinking ships.

Once PS5 Pros and PS5s are sold out, people will be going after the Xbox Series X and S even if they aren't as good value on paper because that's what desperation does to casuals who want to play GTA 6 in November or at Christmas.

PS5 Digital is a fantastic deal at $600. It’s by far the cheapest way to get a 4K gaming setup.

Not sure why anyone is still buying Xboxes, and I say that as an owner of a ($500) Series X from 2020.

Did Sony say the same thing like last year only to raise the prices anyways.

@Fiendish-Beaver

The PS5 disc is 1TB (£569.99), and the PS5 digital is 825GB (£519.99).

They should discontinue the Series S 1TB (now £519.99) as it is a worse value proposition than the PS5 Digital because they are stuck to 1TB or 512GB variants.

The only reason I think they have kept it in stock is for GTA 6.

The Series X 1TB is about £100 more than the PS5 1TB disc.

The main reasons are the amount of money Sony is willing to lose vs Xbox, plus better stock control of the current priced SSDs and RAM.

Once the RAM and SSD stock is sold through, PS5 digital will be around £599.99, with the Disc variant being around £689.99. The Pro will be discontinued, as the PS6 will take the £799.99 with 1TB storage and prob 16GB RAM.

Sammy already mentioned it and most people are aware, but we really can't stress enough how Microsoft is one of the biggest forces in driving up the prices for not just their own consumer hardware, but of all consumer electronics worldwide. We complain about Sony a lot on here, but Microsoft are in an entirely different stratosphere of corporate greed and general "evilness".

@sanderson72 So then it's not the consoles fault for long game development times...if anything Sony and MS should slow down on new console releases I guess.

If i were Xbox i would lower my prices to $399 for series x and get that in the hands of as many people as possible into buying with them. Take the hardware loss, rank up the user headcount and postpone helix till ram is cheaper. I think that post people aren’t ready for a new console yet. Seriously could wait for a new console another 2-5 years honestly.

Between how much of a sh#t company Sony has become and the ridiculous price that seems ahead for PS6, it will rot before I probably buy one.

@Americansamurai1 They did, they said in February they had enough memory and then announced a price hike in March. I think August seems a likely time to announce another PS5 price hike, that's when the 2nd price hike happened last year.

good thing nobody buys XBOX's anymore.

@Ainu20 Yep I believe they definitely influenced Sony in charging for online play. That's why Sony is confident in its controversial decisions lately because the competitor is even worse!

@sanderson72 I'm intruiged. From a fellow gamer who really dislikes Sony right now, how many PS5 games do you own? (approximately)

Sony and Microsoft are going to be absolutely shocked when console sales start to tank and the next gen’s do as well in comparison to previous gen’s.

They are going to price customers out of the market.

Only reason I have a Pro is because I traded in my Series X (and launch PS5) that I bought specifically for Halo and Forza 3 years ago (how ironic).

PS6 is going to be a real test for me at this rate, even with Pro trade in.

But don't worry everyone Elon says money won't matter in ten years. Just in time for The Last of Us 3!

Looking at this from a purely casual gamer who only shows up for gta, the opposite thing may happen and they all now buy the series s to get the game. I mean any serious gamer by now would have bought their console of choice, so its the stragglers who were waiting for that one game, who are particularly bothered by other games or highest specs might go for that sh*try system. That would be disastrous

@TheArt Just to avoid any confusion, my post was only referring to their astronomical investments in AI and how that is driving up component prices globally.

I've already made peace with myself and decided that I won't be buying a PS6 so I'm not too bothered about it.

That's not to say that I'm not interested in what happens regarding pricing because I certainly am.

Unless the PS6 can do something pretty spectacular I'm quite happy with me PS5 Pro and Nintendo Switch 2 for the foreseeable future

Do they expect anyone to buy a Series S for 500€? That was the price of the Series X 6 years ago. If anything, the Series X should cost 300€

@get2sammyb Mercy, what would we ever do without the PS5's 15 exclusive releases over its entire lifetime? Perish the thought.

The more absurd prices get for everything, the more painfully obvious it becomes that economics and value are just a shared delusion that's gotten out of hand.

Eventually, things are going to need a reset.

@Oram77
No chance, no chance in hell
You got no chance, no chance in hell
You got no chance, no chance in hell
You got no chance, no chance in hell

@Ainu20 Right, I was also referring to the "entirely different stratosphere of corporate greed" bit.

@get2sammyb thanks for posting the Euro prices

What a fck up world we live in. 2 decades ago console supposed getting cheaper and nowadays even the obsolete consoles are getting a price increase. I can’t imagine what the world going to be in the next 10 years

Who cares about the ps6. You keep talking about it knowing full well there is absolutely no appetite for a new console.

Who would've thought my day 1 Pro turned out to be a bargain.

My SS cost me £250 on Amazon less then a year after launch. Freaking crazy how high the "budget console" has gone up to.

@get2sammyb this has been the worst PlayStation generation by a long way. You know it and so does everyone else.

@sanderson72 We don't actually know what the PS6 will cost we're all just assuming its 1K.

The PS5 has been a great console and has endless amount of great games. My backlog of PS5 games alone is so high i could stop buying new games all together and be set for a very long time. The narrative that PS5 has no games is just cringe at this point.

I think you’re a little kind to say these prices are out of Xbox’s hands. Who do you think is leading and positively fuelling the AI bubble? Who is literally buying all the memory for its AI efforts thus to make RAM so scarce and expensive for domestic use.
Msoft is as culpable as anyone for these prices.

That’s a little depressing

@lindos I always laugh when people try to paint Xbox/Microsoft as the innocent (trillion dollar) underdog victim 😅

I feel it's going to get much worse as time goes on and every console will see a few more price jumps in the foreseeable future.

It sucks.

@Boxmonkey

this has been the worst PlayStation generation by a long way. You know it and so does everyone else.

Depends on how you look at it. In terms of consumer-friendliness and first party library, it would be hard to argue against that, but in terms of total number of really, really good games available on the system, I'm inclined to disagree.

PlayStation: we're going all digital from 2028, we'll ruin gaming for everyone.

Xbox: hold my beer.........

It's nice to see Xbox won't be outdone by PlayStation

Microsoft is a trillion dollar company. They don't NEED to raise prices. They could just take the losses. Let's not act like they're barely surviving and need better margins on their hardware sales to make ends meet.

Yes prices are ridiculous. But in the other hand, it is a good time to sale too. I sold my Series X yesterday for a pretty good sum.

But I admit it's not looking well for the PS6 price tag!

@DennisReynolds I say this as someone who uses my PS5 primarily to play everything. Every game I've purchased for my PS5 is easily accessible on a different platform. That applies to the overwhelming majority of the entire library.
There's no good reason for me to upgrade to a PS6 at a 1k+ price point when it'll always remain technically inferior to a PC, it shares 99.8% of the same library of a PC (I'd have access to much more through Steam and emulation anyways), and now I won't even be able to buy games in my preferred format.
There's nothing/very little exclusive to the PS5 to entice you to buy a PS5 over competing machines, THAT'S what people mean when they say it has no games.

@Ainu20 you could have played those games on any platform so that’s completely irrelevant.

@ShadowRJ My son and I have got about 15 PS5 games between us, I think? That includes a few PS4 discs with upgrades? Why do you ask?

@Boxmonkey Irrelevant? Perhaps if you're weighing up one system against the other, but if you're already on it, it's anything but irrelevant. I find that once I turn the machine on and look at the games I have available, all that other stuff just becomes background noise.

Yeah yeah, just get a second third job and you can easily afford a PS6, people.

@sanderson72 I'm curious as to why your collection is so small. Even if a lot of games are crossplay, I would've thought you would've chosen to get the games on PS5 in comparison to PS4.

The only way I'd buy an XBOX going forward was IF the Fallout & Elder Scrolls Games were exclusive to it. Otherwise, their next Generation Console I will probably skip and just be a SONY & Nintendo player. The Console prices are too high and it's going to be a huge undertaking for MS to turn their Game situation around.

@DennisReynolds Fully in agreement. For as slow as the generation started, people forget that the PS4 generation also started super slow, in fact I would argue that it's start was significantly worse.

@Boxmonkey
"this has been the worst PlayStation generation by a long way. You know it and so does everyone else."

As far as I'm concerned, this has been the best PlayStation generation!
I have owned every (launch model) PS console, and both Pro consoles, with the exception of handhelds and PS3, where I moved to Xbox360 (before returning for PS4).

@ShadowRJ No, I've got about 50 PS4 games, collected over many years, some disc some digital (normally when there wasn't a disc).
For me, the PS5 releases have been a bit of a busted flush - more fun, playable stuff on the PS4 than the 5.

@sanderson72 We have 5 PS5 controllers for basically 2 gamers, red, white, black, blue, purple, mostly b/c the red drifts a bit and the purple is unusable the drift is really just broken. The other 3 for 2 people b/c the battery life is so bad I felt I needed a spare to get through a gaming session.

My PS4 controllers are just fine after a decade.

How they charge so much for tech with such bad battery life that breaks so often is just nuts. Doesn’t surprise me the consoles keep going up in price. As do the controllers. And hardly any knockoffs to be found either, just $200 Pro controllers. It’s insane.

@DennisReynolds Never said it didn't have games. I believe I said I was referring to the PS5 launch?

@Ainu20 I buy PlayStation for exclusives but the way things are going that’s almost pointless for me these days.

As I’ve noted before Sony would be smart to delay the PS6 until the component pricing bubble bursts or at least deflates.

As it stands the biggest barrier between gamers and the PS5 (and every other modern console) is price because past consoles sold most of their units after a price cut or three but thus far this gen has seen only price rises.

@sanderson72 May I ask what PS4 games you own? Might help me give you some PS5 reccomendations.

"There’s a possibility Sony’s purchasing power may allow it to attain the required parts cheaper than its Redmond rival..."

You think $140B Sony has more purchasing power than $3.6T Microsoft? That's pretty cute. Lol

And no discs either. ROFL, not a chance, Sony. You f-ed up. 💩

@Carnage chances are ram won’t actually go down in price much from its peak (which isn’t even close yet) if we are lucky when things settle down today’s prices will likely become the new norm

So now we wait for Sony to increase theirs..

At this rate my daughter will be able to use my consoles for a down payment on a house. Ha. What a world to live in, all this money being charged for chips that will be outdated and considered “slow” in a few years, only to then be recycled if lucky and thrown in the ground if not.

I dread to think what our future generations will dig up in hundreds of years. Just selfies of grandma with AI filters on an abandoned server farm out in a desert and electronics that only mattered for a short period of time to most.

Ah well, the march continues until the sweet release of death I guess. Even the price of that is going up and up.

Buy the tech you want now people, and expect to use it for a while.

As for Helix and PS6, who cares right, most I see online claim they’re perfectly happy with the consoles and graphics they have now, and cross gen games will certainly be the norm, so stop fretting over it all.

Don’t want it? Don’t buy it! Losing out? Not if you’re being truthful when you say you’re perfectly happy for this generation to continue.

@Boxmonkey

@Ainu20 I buy PlayStation for exclusives but the way things are going that’s almost pointless for me these days.

Out of curiosity, is that because you play non-exclusives on another platform or because you're not interested in them. If it's the former, yeah, I can see why the PS5 is not as attractive as the previous generation.

Sure anyone actually want a PS6? Have have felt optimized for PS5 only recently. It'd suck to start over.

Don't want to sound too much like an old fart, but back in the day, console prices would actually get lower the longer the console had been on the market!!!

Imagine that!!!

@Grumblevolcano last year they said they had enough for the fiscal year end, but they increase the price before the end.

@Kingy Most people only have one or two consoles with one of them being a Switch. Most who game on consoles don't game on PC.

@ShadowRJ end of the day a great game is a great game it doesn't matter if its also on a last gen console as well.

I am so, so glad I now own a capable PC (thanks, dad 🙏) - I am happy to keep my PS5 Pro, PS4, PS3, PS1, Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox and Steam Deck (along with my physical game collection) - it's extremely likely these will be the last consoles I'm ever gonna own. PS6 would be a poor choice. It's a sad state of affairs.

I just hope Sony doesn't sink even lower and start impeding my ability to play my physical and digital collection... shutting down the stores for older consoles is bad enough.

@Ainu20 i play on switch and PlayStation. Yes I have played plenty of 3rd party games but if that’s all I’m going to use the systems for I’d rather buy a pc. This generation compared to the last 2 has been dreadful for single player first party games. It hasn’t helped that the few that have released I’m not really bothered about playing (or certainly not until they are cut price)

So still less expensive than a pair of good seats at a football game? Got it.
Here is why this isn't a big deal except for people to yell at the clouds on these forums and sites like these hope to farm clicks from it (you're welcome for my click btw PS.) In 2006, the price of the ps3 was $499/$599 with the median hourly wage at about $14.50. (I made $8.75/hr and bought the PS3). Now the median hourly wage is about $25.50. $600 divided by a $14.50hr wage is rounded up to 42 working hours. In other words a week of work. $1000 divided by $25.50hr wage is rounded up to 40 working hours. In other words, a week of work. So, same same, different but still same.

At the end of the day, using a 7 year console average, that's $142 a year for a console. My monthly water bill is more than that. This is why it will have no trouble selling unless the console itself is a pos.

@DennisReynolds I mean, I agree, but that's mostly because its been the convenient and/or economical option. How many of the PS5's 95 mil install base will be in the market for a console at least twice its cost?
How much of that install base do you think still regularly use their PS5s for that matter? I think most people are gonna see the cost and either look for alternatives or just stick with what they already have.

@Neuromancer It has little to do with any of those and almost everything to do with the AI bubble spiking component prices.

Note that consumer electronics that don't depend on resources and components linked to data centres and co. are still doing what they've always done - getting cheaper as they get older.

I don’t feel bad for MS at all since they’re largely responsible by pouring tons of money into AI. As for PS6, in no rush anyway.

@get2sammyb There have been too many sequels and remakes for my liking. Wolverine feels like the first new game I have been interested in since 2021. I don't think it's crazy that many people prefer the PS4 gen for new games, especially if you enjoy PS exclusives, which are fewer now because of the failing live service push.

@Kingy Now tell me how many PS4 exclusives there were lol.

@DennisReynolds In your opinion. I too think the console is great. The games for it are very much finite.

@crossbit So higher production costs

@darylb24 Not too many to my recollection. But certainly more than now because Sony were still supporting Japan Studio at the time. Ironically almost every PS5 exclusive has been a sequel to a PS4 exclusive lol, we're far from the crazy output of the PS1/PS2 days.

@Kingy There were 49 exclusive games on PS4 (Not on PC), whereas only 9 games are truly exclusive to PS5 (not on PC).

I'm not saying the PS5 gen is bad, but I did prefer the PS4 gen for Sony exclusive games.

@MidnightDragonDX Don't worry MS isn't feeling sorry either. AI revenue accounted for over $100 billion in growth revenue vs Xbox's $22 billion that's declining. I think they're happy with their choice

@darylb24 I'd definitely argue that the PS5 gen is extremely weak and held up almost wholly by third party support.
For whatever reason I never really cared much for the PS4, and my time spent with my PS5 easily dwarfs it. But yeah just looking at what's on offer by number of releases and reception the PS4 library is much, much better in comparison.

I am still a bit caucious about the optimistic statement "Sony indicated in its most recent financial report that the PS5’s price should hold until at least April 2027"...
Let's be perfectly clear here - Sony only said that they have secured the RAM to produce units untill then, NOT at what price was that RAM bought and NOT that there is not going to be further price increase... Everything else is while well meant, also a bit optimistically unsustained interpretation of that.

@Neuromancer good for you.

Let's not kid ourselves, Sony will be doing the same again soon. Even more of a reason to get me a PRO soon and ride out half the PS6 gen with that until I upgrade.

You might as well get a switch 2 at £380 in most stores over a series s.
You might as well get a PS5 Pro over series x, they are getting that close to each other especially series x disc version.
Overall:
XBOX console sales will drop to almost zero
PS5 console sales will slow, which they already have.
Switch 2 and Nintendo, give me ya money and laughing. Will sell the most, even after the rise in September.
I’m not clever it’s just written in stone.

I wonder what the sales will be like when the PS6 is around or above $1000....They better have a top tier game for me to get it, but I'm sure they will.

@Kingy How many of the 95M install base do you actually think gives a monkeys toss about PC gaming? Also good luck finding a 1K PC that matches even the power of a Pro yet alone PS6.

@DennisReynolds Probably not many. I imagine most won't be getting either.

I’m kind of hoping these prices are inflated and they are using the profits to pay for shedloads of ram etc for next gen so that we can get the new consoles at a decent launch price. Or else that PC rig looks more and more inviting and plausible (and I hate pc gaming)

@DennisReynolds it's more about who's actually going to pay for a PS6. The majority of that userbase will likely remain on PS5 during the next generation.

And this is why I’m happy to sit on the sidelines for a few years. No rush to spend upwards of a grand on a new box.

@SEVENTEENSOILS Well as of right now we don't even know its price even if 1K is likely

@DennisReynolds Didn't say it would be 1k. Look at the public reaction to the PS5 Pro's launch price (and that was a good deal at the time imo!). £700 and above is going to be looking absurd to most of the 95m userbase. Pro is accounting for around 13% of current purchases. It seems incredibly likely that the vast majority will just stick with their PS5. The cross-gen will probably be even longer for the PS5 to 6.

Whatever the case, it's not looking like Sony will be repeating the past success in terms of new console sales (especially when combined with all the bad press and anti-consumer moves by Sony)

@UltimateOtaku91 You should have gotten the Pro before the first price increase.

Computer parts prices have caused this. Pure insanity!

I think it was Sammy who wrote in an old article that PS6 is DOA, and completely agree. You'll have a few early adopters who throw money at anything go in at first, then it's going off a steep cliff if the price is anywhere near rumored.

And as other people mentioned, the cross-gen period between PS5 and PS6 is going to be absolutely crazy. Diminishing returns on graphical output. No physical. Live service push. Studio closures. PS5 been a little bit less than stellar in the exclusive department compared to previous gens...

Honestly, just cancel the thing, start R&D for a 2030 release and re-work it. The ship has sailed. Also agree with the article, the next 5 -10 years will be the most existential challenge for the Playstation division in its entire history due to the component crisis.

@get2sammyb With boring game design that is subjective of an opinion sure. Has plenty of games but whether it's good or bad or too few of interest or game design devs go for Indie, AA, AAA, etc. mentality it is clear.

I just looking from the side lines, kept my consoles around and maintained them, paid family who didn't want them to keep them so they aren't struggling to sell them to others and because I will use them. 9th gen I don't even know if I care or not anyway. I had used 8th gen even when they weren't in my hands but even still.

I've read the news of gaming more then I have touched a PS5 and not even touched a Series X yet I have both consoles accessible to me in the building. It's like remembering how to play a sports yet I don't care to play any, just knowledge from whatever others have used or demonstrated. Not missing out at all.

Skipped 3 price cuts in stores because why would i bother, the games are for audiences that care, I'm not the target audience for games no matter who makes them and that's ok. Most games I see talked about in retro spaces that complain (I don't as I find plenty to play, same as I did apps on Windows Phone or games on Wii U and Vita, I had no issues) or the 1st market in the current era aren't to my taste so to me I don't really impact the market at all, so like it matters to me. I got what I wanted on 8th gen and moved on. Not to PC though.

Happy on 8th gen and older and I hated 8th gen too but at least they were decent. 7th gen I've played more in 9th gen then I did during 8th gen and that was early on when 8th gen was new even. It isn't just the business practices.

I mean there is player bases, there is what they make a cut on the hardware, there is the software return in games/DLCs, what more do companies want?

They can remove disks and TV/movies and licensing, Microsoft can cut the 1000s of apps on Xbox One/Series they still have on their eshop and whoever uses them who knows.

I have a few apps on my Xbox One that aren't part of the usual Sony or Nintendo would have as the essentials on theirs, but not many I use really.

Peripherals and features that stay or go. TV TV TV went from 2013 to 2017, quick resume is there because it was built with the console in mind for Series consoles and has more an impact on the hard drives and console so they won't remove it.

Cards for PS5, game trials, PSVR2, Portal they can cut back or not make new peripherals for PS6. PS+ and more. But like other devices they leave them around for a few years at least which is commendable of Sony.

Companies have all the decisions they can make to keep, cut, price whatever.

From any software, hardware, game design in mind or media/hybrid features with the systems. This isn't the era of karaoke with a Genesis to offer with the JVC X Eye or the Panasonic Q, and others anymore as rare other makers choices from the main models.

It's up to them. That and whatever game design and staff organising of decisions they want the games to be as well.

I don't even care about 9th gen but come to random conclusions, read articles and more not caring because I just think up possibilities here and there. Not saying I'm right just thinking out loud.

@themightyant gaming hasn’t kept up with inflation over the past two decades. Couple that with the fact that everyone wants consumer electronics and more countries become affluent across the world. All while chips are almost exclusively made in two countries.

Prices have to be this way due to many factors. Like inflation, which the gaming industry hasn’t kept up with over the past two decades. Then there is the worldwide demand for consumer electronics. I could go on. China and Taiwan can set whatever price they want for companies. People forgot that a basic car has gone up just as rent too. This isn’t exclusive to gaming. Everything has gone up since the 2000s. For us normal folks life has always been a grind throughout the ages. The reality is that gaming has always been a luxury hobby. Even in the 90s and early 2000s.

You only have to put the price of one cup of coffee per week in your savings for the life of a console generation, and you will have enough to buy the next generation console on launch day even if it is £1000.

If you cannot afford to save that small amount of money, you really need to accept that you cannot afford to waste money on frivolous products like video games, as you clearly need it for essentials in life.

So basically the ps6 without a disc drive will be £800 at the absolute minimum.

@Dogbreath You're not wrong person se, in that a lot of people can't afford that. The ps6 will (at least initially) be an extremely niche product. I'm no business guru, so I can't say if that'll work for Sony or not. It certainly won't work for Joe Public.

@johncalmc I've heard worse ideas, TBH.

@Dogbreath That’s the way I think of it, when I say I’ll buy a PS6 for myself and my partner, it’s not as if that lump sum needs to be found, it’s already there.

If I saved just £5 a week, over 7 years (no interest), just saving that a week is £1,820 by the end of those 7 years.

I don’t think people quite grasp the fact that those kind of sums of money really are very possible for those that want it. £5 a week should be doable as a saving for those who having gaming as a hobby in their life.

If someone can’t save that £5 a week, it means they will understandably not be able to prioritise frivolous luxury items until they can.

I’ve had times in my life where I’ve fallen on my backside and had to live off soup or bread for weeks, dropped weight to the point I’ve worried those that saw me and during that time the last thing on my mind was whether or not I could afford a console.

@2here2there Also more consumer friendly at this point. Atleast they communicate about the physical and being able still use your physical games. By making them downloaddable by using the disc not screwing you over completely.

@ButteredCrumpet I know but at this point why safe for a PS6 just save up for a PC in the mid-range probably as expensive a PS6 with cheaper games and no online pay plus you can mod your games.

@UnlimitedSevens Sony made themselves obsolete. Expensive, less and less exclusives everything behind a paywall. The big fans early adopters probably will stay away their biggest fans are alienated.
Now they are left with casual gamers who will go where gaming is cheapest.

Yeah, it’s great to see these prices.. considering the fact when I see PS5 or Pro in distribution it’s usually $100 more expensive than these in article But hey.. who cares.
