Neither the price increases or the fact that Microsoft is giving up on a pure console are Sony’s fault.
It’s still unfortunate that this is happening. PC is no longer neutral ground.

absquatulate@lemmy.world 1 day agoThis would make sense if they hadn’t increased the price of their hardware twice in one year. To me it just looks like they started behaving like a monopoly (because they can, as xbox is in the shitter)

Had the dumbshit U.S. president not shit out a bunch of tariffs along with every AI company buying up future stock of computer parts, I really don’t think Sony would have increased the price of these consoles.
They know it’s a bad look to do so. Microsoft also had to raise prices on their consoles last year.

Haven’t the slop companies not even actually bought anything yet? My understanding is that no money’s actually changed hands, and that all of this is happening because they pinky promised to buy components in the future with money they don’t even have right now. Which, yes, is basically how buying on credit works, but for everyone else that usually first requires having a reputation for being able to actually pay eventually, rather than the bubble imploding and all these companies going under before the order is even fulfilled.
