    $999 “is not impossible”

    At that price, just buy or build a fucking computer already.

      Not anymore. Same thing’s driving prices on both sides.

      Ram is short Storage is short Video ram is shorter

      The newest consoles outside the switch are just pc’s with different opperating systems.

      I bet the next big thing to be released is a ps6-lite for $399 that’s just a terminal with a $50 a month rental fee to a cloud gaming provider, game licenses not included.

          Let alone the massive backlog of previous generation games and emulators that you don’t need a top line PC for.

        I’d rather find an android device than buy a next gen console. These things are DOA if they are over $1k. Going to be wild if Linux paves the way for modern gaming.
