      I have a ps5. I dont think I’ll ever buy another console thats not a PC. I want to keep my library. I want a choice of places to buy games. I want no subscription for basic services. Consoles solved a problem that running high end games with specialized hardware was cheaper. Now its not, so they dont make financial sense.

      I would assume my next games machine will be a steam deck type device that works like a switch for big screen, or that just streams over WiFi to my TV.
