Nah, lol

No

deflates like a balloon, zooming around in the air making a loud hissing sound until I land in a sad heap on the floor

They're already planning the PS6? Maybe they should give the PS5 some games first.

The monthly rent for an apartment is $2k unless you have a roommate. Half a months rent sounds like a corporate price point.

I suppose, but there's already a lot of resentment over the fact that TVs can simply become outdated in a matter of a few years. With the extra cost, I think gamers depending on what type will either opt to stick with mobile games, use game streaming services, or just buy a PC.

The majority of “smart“ tvs are just oversized android tablets so unless those can perform on par with consoles i don’t think it’s really the answer

NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE US DOLLARS 🔥🔥🔥🦅

Each generation, Sony can fuck more off. I still haven't bought a PS5, they can eat my whole ass if they think I'm dropping four figures on the next one. Who the fuck can afford this shit in today's economy?

$1000 and it will still have no games.

Good luck with that...i guess

AI must die for everyone else to be happy.

The first console for absolutely nobody, except maybe influencers.

Agree to disagree.

Death of the console market. If a rival produces something slightly less good at a lower price, they'll be crushed or take a bath having to drop the price down. Price point is key for home consoles. Especially as this has been the worst generation for gaming so far.

People who have been buying up antique arcade cabinets for the past few decades are about to hit the jackpot.

I know!!! Like seriously Sony

Gonna be pretty funny when only six people buy one because the rest of us can barely even afford a cup of rice

*UNITS Bluesky please add an edit button

I never owned a PlayStation before

tus muertos, sony

Meh. Im not getting it anyway. Because it seems a bit ridiculous to buy a next gen console when this generation barely started.

Remember the PS3 launch?

How are they expecting people to buy it in the US when many of us can’t even get a job.

We didn't even need the ps5 or 4-series video cards no real world use found they have played us for absolute fools

Guess I'm not getting a ps6 then *shrug*

I’ll stick with my Xbox X and PS 5. I have a backlog of games to keep me busy for awhile.

It better have 1000 games at launch, then. A dollar a game.

Just in time for the data crash and the collapse in consumer spending

ain't no one spending that much on a marginal upgrade, even if the PS6 actually happened

Ill keep my current one thanks

Seems Sony has forgotten what happened when they tried this with the PS3.

Playstation 4 was my last console. Too expensive. For something I don't care that much about anymore.

gonna suck to lose my "has every PlayStation since the PS2" streak, but a thousand+ pricetag gonna do that.

Ew.

Good for you, I on the other hand will buy it at $399 max. We're not the same!

FUH NAH!!!! 🗣

PlayStation defaultism is finally dying!

It won’t matter because America is no longer solvent. Those American dollars in your bank accounts are about to be worthless. So unless you have a stash of Yuan around somewhere you can forget getting a PS6.

Guess i wont be buying a console again.

Everyday the future of consoles keeps looking more and more bleak i can't imagine spending thousands of dollars on a console dude no way no how

Surely this will push gamers to embrace games as a service and gacha for "Lower" prices overall.

It should be lower than that, unless you are in a ridiculously humongous amount of debt, Sony.

Go for it. Make it $1000. Make it $10,000. I am still not paying for it.

do we need a PS6? like not only does it feel like the PS5 just came out. It's game line up is lack luster. You know the question "Would you have unlimited bacon but no games? Or Games. Unlimited games but no game?" Im pretty sure the latter half is asking if you want PlayStation Plus.

Go ahead I won't buy them because 90% of PlayStation's and Xbox's games end up on pc anyways and if I'm spending 1k+ I'll just pc game

No thank u :)

and games will be 100 dollars and people would still only complain nintendo being expensive

"AI proponents being found dismembered in dumpsters could become the norm": fuck this inflationary bullshit and the price-gouging that emerges from that economic circle-jerk of AI-addled cocksuckers pretending they can run an economy

A friend of mine spent like 500$ more on a 5080 than he would have for an equivalent AMD card just for 10% extra performance Just to find out his PSU wasn't enough and had to spend an extra 300$ PC gamers have no concept of wanting a dedicated Gadget with guaranteed years of support that Just Works

*normally*

Fair enough, but I can still use the PC for video editing and writing kinky AO3 fanfiction, which I can't do on a PS6

Honestly for me.....no not really Not playing games period anymore is more appealing than PC gaming for me

Huh. I wouldn't buy it even if it was a dollar but no way anyone's going to buy a $1000 no games machine.

It's not just a Sony issue, it's an industry wide problem. As RAM prices increase due to several factors from the tariffs, A.I. data centers, dwindling resources, I don't see the video game industry lasting this decade. I think it's time for a HARD reset.

Consoles really are becoming PCs

I'm still on Generation 8 idngaf.

If this actually does become the norm, I hope the gaming related companies enjoy the only people buying their products being scalpers. Cause I don't think even streamers with a lot of money would be willing to buy these with those kinds of prices out of principle. (And the one's that do, well...)

Sorry, I’ll pass this time.

Because there was a ton of shovelware so if you bought an expensive video game at random it would probably be hot garbage, and there was no way to find out which games were good or bad other than buying one to see?

The crash of 83 had nothing to do with cost. It was an issue of oversaturating the American market with rushed, poorly recieved games.

That might be the problem. Sony fired anyone old enough to remember

Oh if there's a video game crash *now* it'll be devastating. But people talk like the 1983 crash destroyed gaming for 3-5 years before Nintendo saved it, and it's just not the case. I don't see anyone replacing MS or Sony if their consoles fail. The market has calcified.

Bro I wasn't even alive in 83 tf am I supposed to with info I wasn't even in the womb for? 💀

Oh no, that *motivates* their lack of understanding. I should have made it clear that it wasn't an innocent lack of understanding.

I don't... understand how you separate any of that from corporate greed. You're right, it is *absolutely* corporate greed.

I love it whenever this comes up cuz I was there for it and I was one of the suckers who bought a copy new

More cartridges were made of the ET game than there existed devices to play it on. This is because for-profit investors did not understand the actual mechanisms of game consumption. This, combined with a lack of user-oriented support, led to a crash in prices.

+ way more impact in the US than elsewhere. Here in the UK, we didn’t feel the crash to much degree because so much of the market at the time was home micros and also home-grown software houses and indies.

Yeah, the Slim launched for like 299€ with double the base storage and fixing the YLOD, and right at that time a LOT of heavy hitters came out too Actual miracle

Yeah but not before the Xbox 360 and Wii ate Sony's lunch

If that’s true, I don’t see a lot of people paying that much. Even in gaming, there are alternative options.

so.. a consultant and a researched. but nobody working at sony said this?

Why would I bother? Ill just play Indies and the huge library I have and do what I can to keep my pc going.

Combine that with the price of games and it could reach...1000 dollars!

It remains to be seen how that will go when much of what's promised to AI companies isn't even paid for except by promise, often is not repurposable, and may lead to factories just shutting down 😬

Yeaaaaa good luck pushing that in a world where everyone has a phone , a PC, and/or a backlog of older games. The alternatives are plentiful and often better than the bloated slop you're pumping out. ✌️

Looks like my backlog's going to be going to be getting the attention it's been waiting for so patiently. Affording the PS5 was pushing it, but this has well and truly priced me out. 😅

Well I wasn't buying consoles already and i am certainly not now

If Sony is willing to consider charging $1000 for a PS6, there’s not much that can prevent them from then attempting to justify charging $100 for the games next. It’s only going to get worse if they think people are willing to buy it, whether it’s worth it or not.

The PS6 possibly being priced $1000 or close to it? No Sony exclusive could ever get me to drop that kinda money for a console. I'll probably stick with my PS5 for another decade.

*Deep inhale* BOI!

Just buy a PC.

we had consoles at this price (adjusted for inflation) in the 90s. there's a reason you've probably never heard of them.

The Gabecube is gonna be just as expensive.

Fuck you Rump, fuck you Altmman, fuck you Musk, fuck you Zuk, fuck you Theil and fuck the entirety of the regime and the AI industry!!!

so anyway I hear that Steam Machine is pretty nifty what do you all think so far?

wait.... they're already planning the PS6? I feel like they just remembered they made the PS5 a few days ago.

$1000 and absolutely nothing to play on it, man this gen sucks, but they keep trying to make it even worse, all companies rn feels like they're on a SEGA bankrupt race, i hope the winner gets a Sonic F1 trophy

I'd rather buy a pc at that point

They'll be going the way of the dodo if they do lol

Fuck that noise. I'll be on Steam on my PC.

So then it will be a wealth display item and not actually worth playing on.

Hahahahahaha get fucked Sony. Why don't you put out more than 3 PS5 exclusives first?

Reason #9384 why my Sega Saturn keeps getting daily play and shall outlast us all.

Then people not buying your shit is going to be "the norm".

Good thing I already own more games than I can play in a lifetime. And everyone can pirate more games they can play in a lifetime for free. What’s the sell? AI slop re-renders?

Yeah, sod that.
