I didn't ignore it, you did, then I reiterated. How can XB Live be great because of charging, yet PC Live be awesome while free, while PSN was terrible due to being free? It stands to reason that XB Live could be free, but that would basically mean PSN could be free too. I don't see how XB Live could be free while Sony charged for PSN. Now that would be a bridge too far. You said Sony should've or needs to offer more in the box for free. Why couldn't the Kinect have been free then? I already said if Sony wanted more for a PS5 like their games, then it makes way more sense to charge a little more at launch like with their games. The fact Sony waited two years, and a year after inflation to do it, makes it much more likely that it's due to inflation, considering it's highly unlikely Sony figured this would come to pass, so they could squeeze out a few more dollars with hardware price increases near mid gen. For gamers who are having MS eat the XB costs, great, they charge too much for stuff like Windows anyway. That's no reason to try and put down Sony for trying to run a reasonable gaming business in this case. PS5 game prices was more questionable no doubt, but we have to see how they execute to know if it was worth it for most players or not. C19 has slowed that process so far, so we can only hope it speeds up and that titles drop in the exceptional state the should be in. |
This is some of the dumbest counter arguments I have read. You are literally comparing the XB1 launch price with a bundled Kinect device to a PS5 price increase with zero extras. I'll let you digest that. No company, not even Xbox is supposed to lose money, it was even stated in the Xbox history, claiming MS could shut Xbox down and that every generation is not guaranteed. Nothing Sony has done justifies the price increase. Continue to defend them, they will continue to raise the prices in the future. |
Unfortunately I have to bow out here.
I already upset another XB fan by making strong arguments and I don't wish to be further doxed and banned because of that.
Apparently more money and power is the answer against a truly worthy competitor.
Sad to see things go this way, but not everything can be learned the easy way.
