They are asking for more money, 100%. It would be anti consumer if Microsoft's model was Sony's model last gen and now they decide they want to charge money for each game. But that's not what happened here. MS is doing their own very expensive thing, and to call Sony anti-consumer for not copying them is illogical at best. 

It's like if Samsung started including 2 spare batteries, and chucked in a smaller version of the phone in for free. You couldn't call Oneplus anti consumer cause they can't afford to do that ahaha.

Never said it’s necessarily logical. Consumers will see the side by side comparisons regardless of their different approaches. 

Xbox controllers carry over, Dual Shock doesn’t. Sony charges for Spiderman remaster, Xbox 1st party upgrades are free. One has a relaxed stance on B.C. and Xbox goes all the way back to OG Xbox. One doesn’t put their exclusives on their sub service day 1 and the other does. One puts their games on PC case by case years later and Xbox does Windows Store/Steam day 1. One $499 console is weaker specs then the Xbox $499 console. One is transparent and the other is best case vague and worst case misleading.

This ain’t 2006 but it’s clear who’s more pro consumer. 

I'm not arguing about what consumers will see, I'm arguing what's the case.

When dualshock didn't carry over on PS3 and PS4 it sucked, that's not good. Sony have full BC to PS4 cause it's easy, and they didn't want to invest the time for people that want to play PS3/2/1 games on PS5. Would it be better with it? Of course more features are always better. But it already has more BC than PS4 did and that sold pretty well without it.. I think PS4 BC will satisfy 99% of gamers in the market. Despite how fun it would be to play Vice City on a $500 console.

I'd love all Sony games to go to PC I have Horizon on steam. I wouldn't have to buy a Playstation if I want to play them, but like Nintendo, they value their hardware and software mixture and believe it's worth buying their hardware for the games and over 110 million people over the past 7 years agree.
