@Oscarjpc I really think that the PS5 might do poorly if there's no rent to own model like with XBOX All Access. I've been all about Playstation since the beginning. I own around 160 PS4 titles with season passes on a huge chunk of them so I'm deeply rooted in the Sony installbase, but for $35/mo over 24 months with free online and a giant library of games WITH a Series X and backwards compatibility back to the original XBOX, I'm getting one too. I haven't owned an XBOX since the original. That deal is just too good. Yeah, I get my PS4 library playable on the PS5, but if I want to pop in one of my PS1, 2, or 3 games I need at least 2 additional consoles hooked up. In addition, the Series X is an even more powerful console. The only thing Sony really has going for it are the exclusives, but if they tap into the PC market like they did with Horizon Zero Dawn they're going to lose their exclusives edge. The only way I see Sony staying competitive at this point is with a monthly pricing model.

@Dodoo I'm fairly certain they're talking about the new one which is Microsoft Exclusive.
Re: Reaction: Why Hasn't PS5's Price and Release Date Been Revealed Yet?
They're likely waiting because they didn't anticipate the XBOX payment plan that includes their online service.
It would be AMAZING if Sony did the same thing because then I could afford more launch day games.
