Looks like console gaming is just admitting its strategy is to soak their shrinking player base for as much as possible before they collapse.

6 years ago I would have said that was nuts, but 6 years ago I bought 32GB of DDR5 for $100… now the same sticks are $500+, so I feel like this is just the new normal and I’m just going to go back to my retro systems with carts and systems I actually own.

If I’m paying that much for a device, I damned well better have root access. I’m done buying machines that big corpos control.

AI companies ruin the RAM and video card market, so no one runs 200GB models for free. This ruins the new-game market on PC and consoles. AI allows people to spin copies of games Next up, All consoles fail All console makers stop letting people have binaries Gaming as a service AGAIN

With these sorts told prices being rumoured I’m not sure how viable this next generation is going to be. Disposable incomes are dwindling, future economic prospects look…uncertain to put it positively. Parents especially sleek unlikely to spend 4 figures on a console when their kids already have phones.

oh people are going to buy the shit out of this. Guaranteed. We can all boycott here, I know I’m not going to buy one, but Microsoft don’t care. Want to know what Microsoft sees? Sells well? Hooray profit, let’s give everything back to the shareholders Flops? Let’s close Xbox and lay everyone off, we just have an excuse now. It’s a win win for them. Personally I think most people are going to happily line up at the slop line and eat up.
