The PS3 at launch blew even high end PCs out of the water and was the cheapest BluRay player on the market.
It was sold at a net-loss for Sony, with the hope that the game sales make up for it.

>>102323224
A BluRay player in 2006 was over 1000$.
Full HD flatscreens ware new for the consumers at the time, and the most cost-effective device, that could deliver that quality to the TV, was the PS3.

Don't underestimate the impact it had at the time.

In comparison, what do you get from the PS5?

You already pay for this separately with the income taxes.
And if you want any good service, you need an ADDITIONAL private insurance. I got relatives in the USA, and they get far better healthcare for much cheaper.
>b-but if you are a hobo, you get better service in the EU
Yes, but anybody who has a job doesn't. It's yet another way to kill the middle class.
If you want the best service for the buck, you go Neet.

Miniwage is still 7.25/hr in TexASS and probably in other states too. I think wages in general have not improved to keep up with inflation. Consoles are more expensive now than they ever been and for what? Most of the games look like shit from the 7th gen.

The kicker here is that they made the console in this weird, ugly fucked up shape so it couldn't fit any media rack, so you'd probably want it vertical. I guess you can always just not use a stand or buy a cheap garbage one from aliexpress, but still.

Russia is a corrupt shithole but that doesn't excuse letting the oligarchs in our own country from doing the same.

Aside from the price which is probably one of the highest prices ever for a console and the lack of the Blu-ray drive, in the tech demo trailer the chief engineer for the PS5 showed comparison pics between PS5 and PS5 Pro and the consensus among the chat and comments is that there's little to no difference some even saying they don't notice any difference whereas the tech guy in the video was like "look at how much better this looks, wow look at the improvements, look how better the details on those background characters (no joke he did say that)".
I think they actually cut those comparisons from the video.

No shit! And because of that, tech is even more expensive than in Germany. Yippee!
