This, uh - ‘increase the price of our hardware’ thing that console manufacturers are doing is so far ass-backwards it’s making a full circle around the Earth to the front again. Meta’s ‘metaverse’ isn’t doing well - you know, that thing they renamed themselves to focus on? So…their reaction to that was to increase the price of an aging piece of hardware that is the main portal to the aforementioned new company focus. And I’m struggling to have any sympathy for Sony, either - who has typically subsidized console costs; and is now joining the loony bin with Meta. I have never - in my decades of being obsessed with consoles - seen a manufacturer increase the price of a console a year after launch. Sony’s made a dumbass decision here - for sure - but it’s nothing compared to the facepalm that is Meta increasing the price of the Quest. Mind boggling.
