Its more than that.
This generation Sony fanboys have been given more black eyes by Sony than they have by Microsoft.
We have PC ports which the fanboys screamed would never happen because Sony values its customers.
We have $70 games.
We have cost to upgrade games.
We have Sony copying Gamepass after its warriors spent years proclaiming how a subscription service is destroying the industry.
They bought Bungie and then kept them Multiplatform.
It's been a bad year for the console warriors, and Sony increasing the cost of the PS5, when we all know that prices should be decreasing further into the gen instead of increasing is just another slap in the face.
At some point they may just realise that Sony (,And Microsoft) don't care about you. They care about their share holders and their budgets. You are nothing more than a source of revenue.
None of that shit really matters, quality games kept coming, PS+ extra was surprisingly good and they didn't sacrifice their AAA single player games to answer Gamepass.
Who cares if Bungie games are exclusive or not? They were already multiplataform.
I really don't get how the rise in price of a product the most hardcore fans already have it going to bother them, if anything they should be glad they bought it before the price increase.
I'm not Sony's friend, the moment they stop making games I like and top tier games in general I'll turn on them just as fast as I turned on MS and most other trash game publishers. I rather pay $70 for a game that I think will be worth it than $20 for a game I don't want to play.
Sony is raising the price not because they had a bad year, quite the opposite, they can afford to raise it because they blew their direct competitor away this gen and more big games are about to release this year. It's like MS wasn't ready at all for this gen and never even showed up.
