PS5 Pro too costly for you? Sony will soon start selling refurbished PS5 consoles for a fraction of the price (www.eurogamer.net)

This is what happens when a market leader abuses its position.

If Xbox didn't exist anymore, you can bet your bottom dollar that Sony would have started doing this the exact same day they gained total control of the console market.

No, Nintendo doesn't count. They removed themselves from competing by making cheap low spec hardware. People don't choose between Nintendo, Sony, or Xbox, people choose between Sony or Xbox, and also get Nintendo. Smart business move by Nintendo, bad move for consumers.
