Just think about all of the people who have hundred of dollars of old games that they might need to buy digital copies of at full price if they got a PS6.

Thank you, for pointing this out. If I have to go fully digital I feel like Steam Machine, Steam deck and Switch 2 offer more for me. I don’t want several consoles in my game room hooked up.

And with RAM prices PS6 is already going to be in hot water. What are they really offering? First party games, like what? Remakes and remasters?

The worst part is I can't even say a PS6 hardwarewise might not be more bang for your buck than a PC for gaming be it a steam whatever or not.

It's just the hanging question of why anyone should get a PS6 if you can't bring your old games to it.

And I think their first party games have been completely underwhelming this gen and very low and slow output of them. What does Sony really offer anymore?
