    This would make sense if they hadn’t increased the price of their hardware twice in one year. To me it just looks like they started behaving like a monopolistic company (because they can, as xbox is in the shitter)

      Neither the price increases or the fact that Microsoft is giving up on a pure console are Sony’s fault.

      It’s still unfortunate that this is happening. PC is no longer neutral ground.

      Had the dumbshit U.S. president not shit out a bunch of tariffs along with every AI company buying up future stock of computer parts, I really don’t think Sony would have increased the price of these consoles.

      They know it’s a bad look to do so. Microsoft also had to raise prices on their consoles last year.
