For my money, I think Sony will release a PlayStation store for PC, continue pushing the cloud thing, and start allowing third party app stores on consoles if and when they’re forced to by regulators.

I think a lot of this sentiment is more true for the previous generation (PS4, XBOne) because those consoles could barely keep up with PCs at the time. The current generation of consoles have gotten so good that the average consumer would have a hard time telling a console and PC game apart. This is, of course, because the modern consoles are just gaming PCs themselves, with very tight integration.
Just think about your average dad who buys a TV at best buy. Now think about how he's going to be so impressed by the on-by-default HDR feature on the PS5, and how he can also be sold on the home theater aspect where the device can play 8K Blu-Rays if he wants.
I'm not arguing that consoles are the best thing, or that they're going to be the same forever, I'm just saying they have their place and I don't think they're going away.
Consoles are not intended to turn a profit on their own. Game sales are intended to turn a profit. There will always be a demand for an easy-to-use box you can buy for less than a PC and plug in and play games. The console is a loss leader, the games are the real profits. Why wouldn't they publish on more platforms? They lose money on every console sold.
I'm glad competition is so strong in the PC market.
"Sonly sold slightly less than their extremely optimistic projections" ---> "Consoles are done for" is quite a stretch lmao
This isn’t really news. The PS5 is 4 years into its cycle by now.
This is correct
There are some politically correct terms that are not well liked by the people they describe:
- Differently abled
- Houseless
- Latinx
I also used it for half a decade and had 4/6 sticks of RAM fail. When I contacted support, I had tor request a manager escalation to get past the engineer who insisted it was a problem with my windows installation. I run Linux and tested it with memtest86+.
Corsair makes bad products. Your brand loyalty is embarrassing.
Lmao yeah exactly
Systemd makes life easy. It also makes Linux more teachable. I like accessibility and don’t even mind this
Very reasonable take. I’d like to toss a little bit of credit Sony’s way for their excellent controller design at least! I’ll keep buying consoles so long as games are still sold on physical media for them
