Saw this posted on a different forum and couldn't help buy laugh/cry (lol). Remember these days:
The GameCube was younger than the PS5/XBS is now at this point too, lmao (this would be 2006 I believe before the Wii launched).

Adjusted for inflation, this costs as much as Mario Kart World, lol.
These continued price increases make me glad I spent a bunch of cash on a new PC with a 9800X3D and 5080 around this time last year.
Well I am glad I got my PS5 when I did. though now I wonder if I should've shelled out a little more for a Pro at the time LOL
For now, as long as I cam getting my money's worth from PS Plus I'm all good for a few years.

Combine that with a Switch 2 price increase within the next year and console sales are gonna be in the toilet by Spring next year. At those prices the PS5 Pro would actually be better value and if it does get that expensive you'd be looking at potentially a 1k PS6 if things don't improve so RAM prices better fall a lot by late 2027-2028. |
Of course ps6 will be cheaper than new price of pro.
I changed my mind about the PS6 price, Sony will just discontinue the PS5 Pro and the PS6 will be $700/800.

Multi console gaming was easy back then. Not only could you get the consoles for cheap, you didn't have to pay for online for them, and the games were cheaper. Too bad I didn't have money back then, I would have feasted.

Thank you for your continued patronage of Sony products.
Due to the global shortage of semiconductors (memory) and other factors, it is anticipated that supply will not be able to meet demand for CFexpress memory cards and SD memory cards for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we have decided to temporarily suspend the acceptance of orders from our authorized dealers and from customers at the Sony Store from March 27, 2026 onwards.

If anything, their pricing now makes XB more attractive (from a price to performance pov). X has always been better hardware than the base 5, MS just didnt put in the effort to show it let alone leverage 3rd parties to try and get the most out of it. |
Xbox console sales were on life support before Microsoft raised the price. And they started porting their exclusives right before their price hike. Microsoft is simply not a threat as a platform holder anymore.
So realistically, not being a smart ***, if the Helix really is 48 gb per rumors, what price are we expecting?
rtx 4090, 32 gb ram, i7-13700k
Switch 2
