It’s always a funny thing to me when people complain about the price of video game consoles or PCs but don’t bat an eye at paying over $1,000 for a cell phone that they are more than likely going to replace after two years

I truly believe the next gen will start in Fall of 2027! That’ll be 7 years since their release. They’ll probably start at $999.99. I could see it because we easily spend $1,000+ on cell phones that we usually don’t keep longer than two years (on average). I have no problem spending $1k on the next gen if it’s close to being up to par with today’s PCs. Sadly, I do think this will be the last console generation with disc drives but I also think this will be the generation that’ll embrace PC integration. I love game discs as much as anyone can but if we’re being honest… Most of the discs don’t even have the game on them, connecting online is inevitable. I do wish they’d let us download the game and verify its legitimacy once versus having to connect for games that we clearly own. Even games that we get through PlayStation Plus or Game Pass should be able to be played without connecting online after the initial download. Surely they could save the subscriptions expiration date onto the console…But that’s just it, isn’t it? We don’t truly own the games anymore, which is why I refuse to pay full price unless it’s a game I know I’m going to like 100%
