Game consoles usually become cheaper in the years following their launch. Not so the PlayStation 5, which was launched in November 2020 for $399, but five and a half years later costs $599. This obviously has a drastic effect on sales.

    This generation is the first time that a console that is half a decade old has continued to rise in price instead of falling.

      Please buy our 6 year old console for an increased price that we kind of forgot to make games for.

      They want us to pay an assload up front and also pay more for games and to play online compared to PC? This will probably be my last console.

        Paying to play online is what got me off the consoles.

        100$ per year x 10 years = a pretty decent pc. (At least until recently).

        The PS4 is the last console I’ll ever own.
