The US is getting the older model that has the 1 TB still.

The decision to:
- Go with a new controller this generation
- The NOT make a weaker version of their console for this generation
- To make a new VR headset for this generation
- To not try to ruin the video game market place by creating their own version of GamePass
- To create a streaming handheld for people that want to play their games on the go for a low price.

1 Expensive as fuck and FORCED in games - even ones that don't need it.
2 They are going to do that next gen
3 They don't support it...
4 Only difference between GP and PS+ is lack of day one games on PS+ (it's like GP core)
5 199$ is half the price of original PS5 DE and portal is just screen, buttons, battery and wireless connection
They also:
- increased prices of games
- increased prices of accessories
- increased prices of consoles - multiple times
- increased prices of PS+ (multiple times)
- stopped making as many SP exclusives
- reduced amount of console storage (for the same price)
- blocked ability to copy saves to USB (you have to pay for PS+)
- removed web browser
And some more I don't remember now... They are arrogant and greedy this generation. Soul of Sony Computer Entertainment is gone...

I 100% love the new controller. And even as Sony doesn't support PSVR2 (which is SUPER STUPID), they are getting others to support it. It's the sole reason why I will probably buy Flight Simulator 2024 when it comes out for PS5. And the lack of Day One games is the point LOL! That's a great thing. It doesn't kill the industry. And $199 is cheap nowadays for most things gaming.

I like DS as well but I experienced this situation: I was forced to play PS4 version of It Takes Two just because PS5 version required 2 Dual Sense controllers. Me and my friend had DS and DS4... And only difference between DS4 and DS is much better vibration support, it's not gameplay related...
GamePass is bad for the industry but good for consumers.

VR is dead. I doubt they are even manufacturing new PSVR2s, just trying to unload existing inventory.

Can someone really be good for consumers, if it's bad for the industry?
So why is Microsoft adding VR to their PS5 version of Flight Simulator 2024?

I don't care about big publishers not getting enough money - they fucked the industry, not consumers. Outside of MS studios no one forces games to appear on GamePass - most new releases aren't on the service. MS also pays them hefty amounts of money for ability to put it on GP.
GamePass means cheap access to new 70-80$ games, that's good for consumers (same is true for Ubisoft+ and EA Play).
Forgot you can add your own SSD for normal price.
Yes, this is their biggest pro consumer move this gen. At the same time they just didn't change the way they acted since PS3 HDD...

Why add the bolded part? Either way it's pro consumer. Feels like you're fighting more than you need to on this.

They got a lot of heat for expensive PS Vita memory cards so it's reasonable move not to try that again. Pro consumer no matter the intention.
