that is not true or a regular thing lmao. that process is intrinsically intertwine into phones, not consoles b. what are you talking about. most console purchases are made like most regular goods, you have to go out of your way (which most dont or dont even know how) to set up a plan, & that plan is not taken care of by the company, its totally separate unlike phones or even cars.
i do think consoles should have plans like a phone tho. its been a topic of convo for years.
uhhh, lot of people see that as a necessity. dont know what you mean. and its a bonus for something that is pretty much mandatory in today's society. a game console is not, no matter how you try to spin it. people are willing to splurge a bit (if theyre able too) on a phone because they have to have a phone already anyways. a console is 100% optional through and through, while a phone isn't anymore.
thats a lie. yes games are part of it, but its because it got cheaper. the og ps3 literally had so much packed into it like a literal ps2 inside along with a lot of different audio & visuals cord ports & memory plugs etc. they had to literally strip it over time for it to be manageable price wise.
xbox f***ed up this console gen too b. their console was also expensive af to people (i think it was around $450 to $500 iirc) at first because they forced the kinect onto you the first year or two & the dude that was in charge of xbox at the time was very anti consumer & wanted everything to have drm everything, so it destroyed microsoft reputation. yeah they barely had games this gen, but it goes deeper than that. & mainly again, it starts with the original price point. xbox has spent the rest of this gen with a new leader trying to repair their image that man destroyed.
people have never seen a regular console be over $400 aside for the og ps3 & og x1, which didnt end well. also the pro & xb1x, but those are "enthusiast" consoles that the general doesnt care or know much about. the average citizen isnt ballin' like that fam nor is the average citizen tryna cop a $1000 phone unless they're bad with money & want debt, or if thats all they care about.
i think sony might have a cheaper option & more premium like microsoft. basically the basic & "pro" version at the same time, & it'll look better pr wise.
but yeah, like i said, we'll see what happens.
I hope y'all realize most people who don't have the outright cash to buy a new console just pay it off with a credit card monthly, that's the main form of a payment plan for most
And to speak on the general market right now, this gen has a lot of heads turning and more people have accepted gaming as the main form of entertainment in their household, so while it's not a necessity still, there's alot of people ready to stretch a dollar due to the sheer upgrade in power for those who pay attention, and heavy promotion on the new gen games and exclusives all throughout 2021
I think Sony has the causal market on lockdown and unless they f*** up like they did with the PS3 or xb1 it won't change. 2TB is DEFINITELY not the base model, and if you search what a 2 TB SSD cost it makes sense why it's $750. The 825 GB being $500 sound applicable
Ok.
What's everyone wish & dream
to see the console and after that i aint really concerned i think whatever is shown will meet expectations
Ok.
What's everyone wish & dream
would be happy if that new rockstar game is real
Speaking Harry Potter rpg into existence
Current leaks are saying no CoD today. Also apparently a lot of third parties backed out last minute (pre June 4th) because Sony was demanding gameplay and not CGI teasers.
Also HZD2 and Crash are seeming much more likely
HZD2
Gran Turismo
Crash
Ratchet & Clank
Silent Hill
Demon’s Souls remake
and new IP’s from Housemarque and Santa Monica
This seems like a reasonable realistic first/second party lineup for this event

Ok.
What's everyone wish & dream
just wanna see what the system looks like. and want confirmation there's a black version
don't care about the games cus I doubt they have any good exclusives on deck already

go to sleep!!
Just give me tlou2 and ghost at 4k 90fps gameplay with 2 sec loadtime
We all know the game on ps5 the first year gonna be trash
Just want to see the power
only downside is it’s gonna disappoint a lot of people expecting a third party heavy E3-style blowout
Sony + Microsoft are probably just showing exclusives at this point and letting third parties announce their own games
