Well, traditionally, console prices were subsidized by the more expensive game prices. They'd sell the console at a loss to then make that back per game. Them raising both the console price as well as game prices is what makes it awful.

We lost that in the PS4 era, seems weird to mourn it now.

I mean, if it's still shit and it's getting even worse, I don't know why we wouldn't continue to mourn that, or at least call it out.
