I'll be playing it on the PS5 Pro. I didn't buy a 4K HDR TV to play at 800p-1080p...

Playing on PC is of course always an option, yet what MS doesn't realize is gamers get older as well. I'm 50, my wife and I are currently heavily invested in PoE2. Best place to play that for us is on the couch on PS5 Pro. (Still sometimes struggles to keep up at 1440p60 in couch co-op but overall crisp with locked 60fps). We don't want to faff about with a PC in the living room and have the means to spend money on dedicated hardware that make life easier. It takes 10 seconds to get both of us into the game from rest mode.

By ditching (high end) consoles, MS will be ditching their maturing audience. We were hardcore PC gamers 20 years ago, before kids. Now it's mobile and consoles, not gonna sit behind a desk again to play or manage a PC next to the TV. Yet we still want lag free good performance. No streaming nonsense or fuzzy resolution.
