Who is the most money grubbing console maker in the industry?

That's just how I see it. I didn't mention Nintendo because they don't seem the worst out of the 3. Meanwhile, Sony and MS do things that make me grumble at the possible worse things they could be bringing into the industry. Mid gen console releases just seem like an awful thing to do, especially when the consoles are really starting to get into their stride. There's other things, like making paid online service a thing now. When I see things like that, I can't help but feel how awful that is. That's why I name those 2 as being on the higher end with this topic. I wouldn't call having to potentially invest in a new TV, needing a PS4 to get VR, and Pro being the better option for games a trivial thing though.

Also, I think it was dumb they announced FE Warriors for the N3DS. They shouldn't have done that at all, but I guess they decided to do it.

 

These are all fair points, but then perhaps you should lead with these examples instead of singling out an issue that is actually worse somewhere else.

That said, you dont need to invest in a new TV to get benefits from the Pro, just to maximise them. And it is kind of trivial because again it is all a choice. Of course you would need a PS4 to get Sony VR, like that is strange thing to bring up. There are other VR options if you dont want PS4VR. And PS4+VR is probably cheaper than most highend VR devices themselves. As for the TV... unless Sony was the sole supplier of 4Ktvs then you would have a point that it is money grubbing, but out of the major TV makers, Sony 4Ktvs are most likely the least sold. These are all choices, and if you are spending that kind of money I would assume that you are giving it some real thought. But you dont need them. You have that choice. Sony isn't even pushing the Pro, which alone should tell you that they see it as optional device for those gamers who have the money to spend on it. Sony is all in on pushing the Slim, which is just a regular PS4.

But still, I think all 3 console makers are bad.

I do agree in the end, it's up to choice, whether you want the best, or are okay with what you have. And all 3 do things that are pretty bad.
