Gaming consoles are more expensive than ever, and fewer people are buying them

For manufacturers, those higher prices can soften the financial impact of falling sales. Sony's PlayStation hardware revenue increased 17% year over year, even though unit sales declined...

Exactly what do Sony and Microsoft expect?? These are 6 year old consoles at this point that are still increasing in price. Of course sales are going to fall, especially when both companies are also making anti-consumer moves left and right

They could lower the costs since we’re essentially renting most of the games anyway and physical media is becoming extinct so money saved in production costs but share holders matter more so fuck you.

I found games so immersive as a kid. I wish could enjoy them today but I get bored regardless of the game or genre. Even the old ones.

Anyway, I advocate emulating old games to boycott modern consioles. Especially XBox, which is on the BDS list.
