yeah, i was one of them. i bought everything they have made, but i drew the line at the $550 ps vr and this $780 monstrosity. psvr2 was the first hardware from sony that i didnt buy on day one since the ps2. thats almost 23 years. i even bought the move on day one. the move.
they have forgotten what made them great in the first place. it was offering the psp for $250 then pricing the vita at $250 seven years later, the ps4 at $399. that $399 price tag is what killed xbox that gen, not the used game speech from jack tretton. go back and watch the reaction to the $399 reveal. it was madness.
They opened the PC port Pandora’s box, I think that’s their biggest mistake.
Truthfully, at what price would you have jumped in day 1 on a Pro when you know everything will come to your PC later, assumably with upgrades?
How much is timed exclusivity worth?
For me, certainly not €800. €700? Nah. €600? Nope. €500? Still too much.
Problem for me, I know I’ll double dip anyway if the PC upgrades are good so I feel like it’s better to stay on the launch console for the occasional rare games I can’t stay out of, like Astro Bot. If everything starts running at 30fps I’ll reconsider but Astro Bot runs smooth as butter and looks fantastic.
