I mean, I think we’re in agreement that this is a bad call as far as moving hardware units is concerned… but I’m confused how this makes Sony a “POS”? I can assure you that Sony isn’t jumping with joy knowing that sales are about to really slow down… plus we’re talking video games. We aren’t talking about a product that consumers *need* in order to properly function in the short-term. People will simply not purchase the luxury product; we aren’t talking about prescription drugs or gasoline.

"company leadership discussed the current impact of climbing computer memory costs. In particular, they anticipate new strategies that will ensure minimal price fluctuations affecting core PlayStation 5 hardware"

What a bunch of assholes, increase of 100 USD is now "minimal price fluctuations"? Really?
