It means you speak of these things like they are sure to happen (or have happened). Ex: 'Sounds powerful, must be pricey'. 'Bad decisions being made'. I'm saying that I don't agree, especially with the limited info we have. No way to know if any of this has been a bad call or if the system will be particularly high (anything over $499). No finalized specs. No release date. Hell, not even a name.

Well, I never met anyone before who wasn't confident enough to call it a PS5 based on their past naming conventions.  And yeah, a powerful console always leads to a pricey console.  That is what has happened with every powerful console in the past.  My "absolutes" are based on what we already know has happened before. Are you uncomfortable drawing conclusions based on past information?  

Also $499 fits my definition of pricey.  $399 has proven to be reasonable.  $449 is pushing it.  $499 and up is pricey.  I don't know what the price will be yet, but it is looking pricey based on the information we have.  We'll have to see if it goes that way.

Actually this is not true.....was not the PS4 the more powerful console between it and the XB1 when it first launched AND the cheapest of the 2? So no power does not always equate to pricey.......just wanted to add that into the conversation.
