I’m legitimately worried about next gen, since Sony is doing the same thing with their pricing as GPU manufacturers.
That thing being, the increase in price is >/= the actual increase in performance. The PS5 Pro is a 75% price increase over the similarly disc-driveless $399 PS5 (hardware which is almost a half-decade old now).
Isn’t it common knowledge that there is an Iranian state-sposored social media campaign doing the exact same thing for the other side?
Social Media is the best thing that has ever happened for Iran, Russia, & China in terms of expanding the reach of propaganda.
