Platform wars are over, but the price wars never end.

Console war was over like 2 years ago and the winner was the PC as both consoles started putting their exclusives on pc lol

Is that why Sony thinks they can get away with making their console even more expensive?

This mattered to me as a kid when I couldn’t afford every console. This hasn’t mattered to me in a really long time.

Pc won, Playstation runner up, Xbox lost spectacularly and Nintendo is having a blast eating glue in the corner not caring what anybody thinks.

Do people genuinely disagree? I’ve owned a Switch, Xbox Series X & PS5 since their respective release dates. I always buy every console so that I can play every game I want but this generation there hasn’t been a need to, plus the Xbox exclusives have been a real let down.
Nintendo is an outlier because they have games you can’t play anywhere else, but as for Xbox & PS5, I genuinely do not see a reason for me buying an Xbox again considering they’re still releasing everything on Playstation.
Next generation I’ll be sticking with Switch 2 & PS6, unless Microsoft suddenly backtrack and start to make all of those IPs they bought console exclusive again.

Absolutely hysterical that this headline is dropping right after Sony announce a completely arbitrary and scummy price increase for half of the world.
PS6 going to be a 4 figure purchase.

Yes, it is essentially Game Over.

The more Sony push their anti-consumer practices, the likelier it is the console wars will be BACK. It’s better for us if there’s competition.

The console wars are over because their original intent, give mass market easy if not cheap – cheaper, less complex than PC at the time – access to computer games, stopped being a thing with the implementation of online.
Really since Xbox 360/PS3 era console lost their simplicity.

Microsoft has sadly clearly thrown in the towel with Xbox hardware. They’re not even trying to compete any more. So yeah, the console wars are over and Sony won.

Man can we stop milking comments from this guy? Holy shit.
I’ve been seeing “former PlayStation boss” comments about everything for weeks now. Give it a rest!

The only people that still think console wars still exist are the group of gamers that for some reason pledge undying allegiance to a specific brand like they’re in a relationship with it.
