Totally agree with you that I got a lot more value than I paid for on PS4 and prior, but also probably wouldn`t pay the value I thought because I would be short on cash.

Literally the only thing that  might keep me from getting a PS5 at launch is the reality that I'm poor as hell right now. I'm a writer and I pretty exclusively do commissions...and with so many people being out of work or struggling, it's so very hard to find clientele. 

I can feel your pain. In Brazil over 2/3 of population had major reduction of income during pandemic. Pray for the best and that you can get your PS5 soon enough.

PS4 was $100 less than Xbox One at launch and well we know how much Microsoft messed up at the start of the generation and it wasn't until a couple years ago that the Xbox division was given a bigger budget. They have more studios than at any time in the past. 

I'm talking about what you posted earlier, that more competition brings better/more first party games.

While I do agree I pointed that the PS4 had no real competition and still delivered us one of the best first party lineups ever.

True... I split up competition like this into intra and extra competition. With PS, we seem to have more of intra-competition, where its like studios within the platform are mostly competing within themselves. They share tech and all that, but they are basically constantly trying to one-up each other and fill genre gaps. We end up getting great games as a result.

Extra-competition though I see as platforms platform. Eg, PS vs Xbox. I think that kinda competition just keeps the platform holders honest and keep prices fair.

Bold and hopefully wrong. $499/399 is fine. Games will sell the systems. Undercutting MS really isn't necessary.

Why hopefully wrong?

They're likely to take a loss already at 499 and especially 399 for the digital edition.

If Ms gave series x out for $99 I'd take it. Idgaf. 

I don't know why you do tbh.

Not only did they give us some of the best first party games (second only to Nintendo, in my opinion), some of those were new IPs, something Microsoft just can't manage. Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Ghost of Tsushima are all amazing games, with Bloodborne being probably my all-time favourite, not factoring nostalgia for SNES games. (Seriously, my top 5 of all time are SNES games, followed by Bloodborne; THAT is how good that game is). 

I could ALMOST count The Last of Us as a new IP this gen as it was released in 2013, but I won't. 

God of War is practically a new IP given its shift in tone and gameplay style. 

Spider-Man is almost new IP in that it isn't a sequel to a prior game, but we can't REALLY count it. 

Point is, they actually did a lot right this generation despite being without competition. PS2 had a similar situation. No competition, but ALL the greatest games (Aside from Nintendo, as usual). I agree with you wholeheartedly.
