Instead of increasing monthly active users at all costs, the company aims to monetize existing users with recurring revenue, likely from subscriptions and DLC. Furthermore, Nishino stated that PlayStation aims to provide a "seamless" experience that expands beyond the living room, sparking renewed rumors of a portable console.

So, owning a Steam Machine will be beneficial in the long run because of the frequent sales and realistic gaming prices. Got it!

    And the lack of a requirement for a subscription service which means the actual cost of the PlayStation 6 over a 7 year life span is something like $1800. That's assuming the cost of a monthly PlayStation plus membership doesn't go up and they continue to subsidize the hardware by selling it at cost. And it doesn't include buying games.
