This comment coming relatively soon after many people paid scalpers almost double MSRP (sometimes more) for a PS5 and also in a time where plenty of people spend upwards of $1,500 for gaming PCs and not think much of it.
I doubt many people will give up their hobbies or favorite pastimes because the next gen consoles might cost as much as $800-$900. Though I doubt they’ll cost that much as companies price consoles knowing full well they’ll lose money on them for at least the first 1-2 years, but they have to price them low enough so that people will buy them in order to sell games and also buy accessories, subscriptions, DLCs etc. as well which is where they really make their money.
