Facepalm. Now you sound like early 7th gen Sony, when they said that gamers should want to get a 2nd job to buy the $600 PS3, it was a big part of Sony's early 7th gen arrogance that nearly caused them to come in 3rd place, had they not reversed course and dropped the arrogance. 

You do realize that not every gamer has a great job, right? Some gamers live on an extremely tight budget, they basically live paycheck to paycheck and have very little budget for entertainment and gaming each month. Nobody wants to work overtime hours for a few weeks or something to buy $600 console. 

To be fair, the more I see about Series X makes me think $500-600 is totally reasonable. However, a Series S at $299 shows they would be considering a market that wants the same content even at lower visual fidelity.

I think the biggest issue with PS3 is Sony kept telling us it was a beast in specs, but we didn't see that in practice. Therefore Sony had to do massive price cuts because they invested in the wrong specs in my opinion.

You're missing the point so bad its not even scratching the target. It could have 1000+ dollars worth of tech inside and it still wouldnt be worth it because the mass market doest want to spend that much on a videogame system.
