How does Xbox, the smallest platform, convince gamers to pick up an Xbox at that price? Asha should flex that MS wallet and undercut Sony’s price of the PS6 if they really want gamers to defect.

Perhaps Valve will disrupt Xbox to some extent? And Xbox still can’t compete with Nintendo. A hybrid PS6 seems like a good strategy to keep the PlayStation relevant.

A new overpriced console at the same time the game space is being overrun with AI slop is like a restaurant doubling their prices while also ceasing to use any authentic ingredients. I'm sure it makes sense in the coke-fueled boardrooms however...

This might as well be $100,000 and only available from a shop on the moon. Absolute madness.

Atari Jaguar and Panasonic 3DO all over again. Prepare for the dark ages. A few years from now the "big players" in home consoles is wide open for new names to take over.
