Who is this guy and why should I care what he says?

Edit: Since no one could answer it. He's an indie developer and made a few games. Silver Falls, Clasherball, and Animelee. He also says he's a consultant, based on the video, but I couldn't find anything of him doing that.

So he's slightly a step above a regular guy making some video complaining.

Sony saw the incredible success of the Stadia and is moving in that direction.

I know what I'm doing

not entirely related but I guarantee you'd have more fun playing some cheap indie game with your close friends on a $800 PC

Remember when some top Sony exec said that this generation wouldn't need a pro, and that that was a unique PS4 generation thing?

I'm not buying the pro, the PS6 or the next Xbox series console.

This gen felt like a waste of money to me, with only minute differences at a huge cost.

I'll wait until 4 years into the new console gen to decide.

Until then, I have my pc and my 7800xt Nitro+

This thing is expensive, and I probably won’t get one.

But the Panasonic 3DO cost $700 in 90s money and that thing sucked ass, so this price isn’t something we’ve never seen before.

Sony does need to read the room, though. It’s a bit of a bad look.

I don't think it's worth it, especially if you already own a PS5.

But what did people think it was going to cost?

I regret buying a PS5 at all. I haven't been a PSN subscriber for over three years at this point and I don't feel inclined to be in the future. All the games my friends and I play are on PC and really the only game worth a damn is Astrobot, which is far and away the most fun platformer game I've played and is the sole game to justify that console purchase lol.

I echo the other comments here saying this generation is a waste, it really is and there is nothing really to be gained by getting the latest and "greatest" console today. Maybe it's just a sign of the times that consoles just don't have that much pull like they used to, unless they're portable like the Steam Deck or Switch.
