Comment on PS5 Price increase collapses PlayStation console sales in Japan, with Xbox gaining

Buying the disk version of the Playstation 5 at launch might have been the best investment I’ve made this decade, followed closely by the extra RAM kit and 2TB Samsung 990 SSD I bought in Aug. 2025.
Guess I can eat avocado toast guilt-free 🥹
This had me searching “PS5 extra ram kit” like a buffoon.
But actually, same boat. Launch PS5, bought ram and a 2TB SSD early 2025. I shouldn’t have held back on that new GPU though.
This kind of luck must run in my family, my brother and his partner both traded in their cars for EVs two days before the Epstein War started. Little shit is laughing at me when I text him the cost to fill up.
I’m still running a 2080Ti so I’m still doing ok, but it it definitely starting to show it’s age. I somehow ended up with an Intel low profile GPU from my local tech store (I couldn’t even tell you the model) for like $65USD and it had display port so I decided to plug my monitors into it, and it helped my primary GPU performance more than I expected. Maybe something to look into?
Hope you don’t keep it vertical, there were videos on YouTube saying that liquid metal in the original models pools at the bottom with time
good to know, mine’s actually currently upside down because that’s the only way the power cord reaches my outlet 💀
Uhoh. I have a slim model, will I be okay?
I don’t know, I saw people saying that pro has this addressed (for example this video youtu.be/ojLoP9ddseg) and that some slims have this adjustment as well, but you need to check when it was made I guess pcmag.com/…/sony-updates-ps5-ps5-slim-to-address-…
Good thing I never have put my consoles in vertical mode besides the series x because it was designed to be that way first.
I’ve never understood why people are so into avocados. I personally find them slimy and suspicious.
They taste good

Best investment I made was NOT buying a console again and getting locked into shitty Xbox Live service. Fuck consoles man, they got too greedy with all this shit. I run emulators now, fuck billion dollar companies profiting off our love for games. No more I say, never again! Microsucks, Nintenchargemeandarmandleg, and Sokneetrippedmeagain

While I agree with you wrt consoles locking people in, my parents are hobby console collectors and that got passed down to me. I buy whatever comes out and sell as needed. But is it getting less fun to collect with the current gen, I’m not gonna lie. Games don’t even come on discs anymore, so a physical collection is starting to become useless.
For anyone curious: I don’t scalp/resell btw, MSRP + shipping as needed, this is a hobby not a side hustle for me.
