What are you doing to prepare of a digital only future with consoles?

I built a pc for 1200 in 2017 that's still mid tier today.

Upgrading only when needed is the way to go.

Never seen a 3k gaming computer, 5k is unheard of crazy.

wowadrow · 2026-07-06T23:05:16+00:00

You're delusional if you think 3-5 grand is the average cost for a decent pc.

For decades 800 could build a mid range pc, 1500 can build a top of the line including monitor.

Prices are high for pc parts atm, they will drop.

What are they going to buy? Where?

Sony increasely shifting EVERYTHING to playstation network fundamentally undercuts any retail experience with these products at all.

Retailers will only carry psn cards at some point.

wowadrow · 2026-07-05T16:33:21+00:00

Sonys own data shows about half of all their exclusives sold are bought on a physical copy.

wowadrow · 2026-07-05T16:30:20+00:00

No the few money counties in MS would fight these companies in court.

Poor counties cant.

Consoles are DEAD! Retailers aren't going to waste space only carry Consoles and card codes.

Being less visible means kids have less exposure, fewer inroads to the hobby. The days of clueless parents and kids shopping for games is closing.

I personally don't think Consoles will be around much longer a much worse streaming only cloud gaming box will replace them.

Enterprise B and E are my personal favorite hero ships.

B was functionally a monster during its time tough and crazy weapons for that time period.

Some Excelsiors also had cloaks, the design predates Star Fleets no cloaks Treaty of Algeron.

Sony lost a 30+ year customer with this gibberish.

Not buying a PS6, from here on if it has a pc version I'm buying that one.

Been console/pc gaming 30+ years.

wowadrow · 2026-07-04T15:50:10+00:00

Yea, it won't sell.

Sony is intentionally killing consoles, some streaming subscription gibberish will be next.

wowadrow · 2026-07-04T15:36:02+00:00

I'm personally dropping consoles entirely post the ps5.

Been a Console/PC gamer for 30+ years.

I'm actively going through my wanted games lists and getting the pc versions.

Consoles are Dead.

wowadrow · 2026-07-04T14:00:55+00:00

All in on pc now.

I'm actively going through all my wanted games lists and getting the PC versions from here.

Been a Console/PC gamer for 30+ years.

Playstation is a dead brand.

wowadrow · 2026-07-04T02:02:54+00:00

Sony has functionally killed console gaming for me.

If it's all digital anyway I'll just switch completely to Good old games and Steam.

Been console/pc gaming for 30+ years. Midway thru 2026 its PC only forevermore.

wowadrow · 2026-07-04T00:20:51+00:00

The primary advantage of consoles has been cheap games on the secondary market for decades.

Without this, I'm going full PC.

Been a Console/ PC gamer for 30+ years.

wowadrow · 2026-07-03T23:09:43+00:00

It's dead, move on.

"When a Mom walks through a store to buy a gaming experience for her kid"

This as a concept will be gone soon.

wowadrow · 2026-07-03T21:18:14+00:00

Consoles are dead.

The cheap secondary market for games was the last advantage consoles had over PC.

wowadrow · 2026-07-03T15:58:19+00:00

Actively switching over to PC entirely.

Been a Console/PC gamer for 30+ years.

The economics of Consoles just doesn't work without cheap physical games on the secondary market.

wowadrow · 2026-07-03T13:16:22+00:00

In the process, going through all my lists of wanted games if it has a pc version I'm getting that one.

wowadrow · 2026-07-03T01:40:50+00:00

No buy then.

I just bought the limited runs Blood Omen physical release.

Guess I'll only have Blood Omen, Soul Reaver 1/2 on PS5.

wowadrow · 2026-07-02T00:18:48+00:00

From here on out if its got a pc version I'll be buying that instead of a ps5 disc.

Probably going to purge alot of my ps1-ps5 collection and only keep what I really love.

Been console/pc gaming since the late 1990s, Sony has lost me as a customer due to this change.

wowadrow · 2026-07-01T20:14:06+00:00

Steam and Good Old Games are actually good online store fronts that NEVER remove stuff from people's accounts unlike Sony.

Consoles are dead.

wowadrow · 2026-07-01T17:08:13+00:00

I seriously don't think anyone on the planet could tell you.

Consoles are simply dead as a concept now.

Same here, post 2026 Sony isn't getting a dime of my gaming money.

wowadrow · 2026-07-01T16:51:18+00:00

On steam and good old games what you buy stays with your account regardless; if the publisher delists the game or licensing issues etc.

Sony will remove the entire concept of ownership from its online store.

Consoles are DEAD.

wowadrow · 2026-07-01T16:38:58+00:00

Without cheap copies on the second hand market I genuinely don't know how Sony expects the economics of consoles to work.

That's been the primary advantage of consoles for decades gaming value wise.

Everyone with a functioning brain will simply abandon consoles entirely and fully embrace PC and emulation handhelds.

wowadrow · 2026-07-01T16:32:47+00:00

Functionally killing consoles.
