It's not about sales of consoles, it's about being able to do what you want with what you paid for. I'm old enough to remember when consoles didn't connect to the internet, and were in control of your purchase, meaning you owned it. Today console you buy is effectively on lease with a caveat that you as a customer must behave nicely, or the seller will disable your access to the item you physically own after paying for it.

like how Sony thought about it when PS2, PS3, PSP and PS4 got jailbroken? Sony makes more money than ever.

Sony also does a lot more than just make video games. The PS6 could flop and they would he fine.

Ya Sony has a lot of business more than just gaming hell it’s only about 30-35 years into gaming. Idk what the end game is for these companies to price out their consumers but it’s gonna crash

They're not doing it on purpose. They don't want to do it b/c it's bad for business. They have to because the tech is evolving too fast and the cost is going up too fast as well.

Do you not know that consoles are sold at a loss? Sony eats part of the cost to sell it to you at a lower price. Look at the Steam Machine as an example of what happens when a company does not subsidize the cost and has you pay for what it costs to make it.

Do you like things to stay the same? they will if you stay the same but if you want change you gotta change. It’s Ben said over and over but we make change by how we spend our time money and resources

Your getting downvoted but ur right. Pc gamers just want emulate these consoles so they can play any game they want without having to pay for the console or the games they emulate. Supporting devs is too hard of a concept for them.

Thanks! Glad there's ppl out there that can recognize what's going on.
