    To be honest that would just be the end of the consoles system as there is a reason Sony is selling the PS5 for so cheap.

    They stopped selling them for cheap as soon as they reached market dominance, so good riddance I say.

    I’m also not sure how much the PS exerience differs from Xbox, but my last console was an XOne (got it for cheap) specifically because I wanted the “no fuss” experience, and it was such a headache that it convinced me to switch to PC instead.

      Well I bought my ps5 a while ago, but I think that despite the price increase, it’s still cheaper than a comparable PC.

      As for the no fuss experience, my Steam Deck, which I love and have had for a few month, has already given more to tinker and solve than my ps5 in a few years.

      I just think that the Playstation experience isn’t as good and cheap as it used to be compared to PC.

        Cheapness ended after PS3 era I think. Even if it (ps4, ps5) is cheaper than a comparable PC, online access after a year or two would probably ruin all the savings.

          Agreed but you can play only offline without missing on much. I currently have the ps plus for a few more months, but I’m dropping it as the only one playing online is my son and hés playing fortnite.

          But, if you’re an online player, it’s gonna be cheaper to play on pc.

            That’s such a bad take. Game companies are not allowed to have multiplayer that bypasses psn network.

            The Sony and Nintendo have dominant positions in the game market for their consoles. The wallet garden must be breached for the consumer - why do you cate about company profits🙃
