PS6 when that comes is going to launch at price that will make people rage
I expect I'll be using the money that would have gone to a PS6 to invest in a decent gaming PC when the time comes.
I have a PC that I mainly use for video/RAW photo processing. 7950x, 7600xt, Linux. I still game on it more than on my PS5 or Switch. Really hard to buy games on the PS5 or Switch when they're so much cheaper on PC. Plus how much years of paying for PS+ adds up to. 7 years of PS+ Extra is a gaming PC
I prefer gaming on a TV and the simplicity of putting a game in and it just works on console, which is why I've always mainly been a console peasant. I've always also gamed on PC, but as more of a side thing. These prices, though...gaming is rapidly becoming too expensive for the average person to keep up with playing the newest stuff. PCs are a higher up front cost, but the open nature of the platform means you have a lot more flexibility with how you can obtain games.
