Of course the newest console is their priority, it's supposed to make profit. PS5 is already 4 years old, PS6 is already on it's way and PS4 isn't being sold anymore. PS6 not announced, of course, but it's on a design table and Sony is planning it's strategy with PS6. It's possible they already are making launch games for the system. See the problem - the development times and costs are killing the console cycle. 20 years ago you could release your game at launch, have the updated sequel and maybe have the second sequel that's optimised for the hardware. Today a studio has time to develop a game or two each generation and the first one is made without knowing the actual specs of the system.

We already know Sony's management told us that Playstation is supposed to turn into service and it seems Sony's been making Playstation compatible for this one for quite some time. Sony don't seem to fix something that isn't broken and make a 180 degree turn when they're successful. If Sony decides to change during the PS4 era, they spend tha PS5 era to integrate everything so that PS6 can work as a service they intended. 

Where/when did they say PlayStation was turning into a service. what kind of service and how is the PS6 supposed help forward the progression of this service? I'm genuinely very confused I've not heard them say anything about them becoming service based. Also, it's way too early to be talking about the PS6. We need to just focus on the products that actually exist. 

This is bad news for Sony gamers. Not good news at all. No competition makes Sony a bold little arrogant prick of a company.

It was around a decade ago if I recall. The Playstation now/Playstation plus is part of the plan, if I'm not mistaken. 

Yes, PS now/plus are services but Sony having services on their platform doesn't automatically mean it's their priority. They may have said something about progressing with those services 10 years ago sure, but we have to look at their actions to see what their priorities are. Games on PS plus get exactly the same treatment as games on PC, they come at a later date. With Xbox that's totally different. Day and date on Gamepass and PC. This shows that Sony is a console maker first and service provider second. Xbox is a service provider first and a console maker second. Proof is just in the pudding 

At this point i would go as far and say we need to stop excluding Nintendo from the competition only because when they are outselling everything else/ sold the most systems in direct comparision. Its Microsoft who targets a "different audience" with basically free games, gamepass, no exclusives... The competition is not MS vs Sony its Nintendo vs Sony. Both got physical games and real exclusives.

A Tegra X1 with 4GB of RAM was never designed to be competition to the PS5/XBS consoles. Heck, I'm not sure if it was even designed to compete with the PS4/Xbone. It is Nintendo that removed themselves from competing, not the gamers

Saleswise they compete. Hardware does not matter. Or would you say that the PS2 did not compete with Xbox and Gamecube? Its about comparable products. And both Sony and Nintendo have a product that plays games physically and digital. Both have games for all audiences. Vgchartz compares both on the front page. I do not wanna sound offensive here but for me this "different audience", "no competition" sounds like anger because the prefered hardware sold less. 

Consoles are dying anyways, if Sony raises prices too high the pc exodus will continue.

I don't understand this, they're still directly competing for my time and my money lol. I mostly don't buy indie/AA/JRPG games on my PS5 anymore, Sony is losing money there. At the same time, I mostly don't buy AAA games on my Switch because the hardware is underpowered or they're not available. Nintendo is losing money.

Being the most powerful console is not that important. The PS4 is the only time where the most powerful console of the generation sold more than its competitors since the SNES.
