I thought the big thing with these ninth gen consoles was that they were powerful enough upon release that's there's no need for a mid gen refresh this time.

sigh literally just got my PS5 like 8 months ago.

Why do gamerstm get excited about being exploited like this instead of getting mad about being ripped off?

Lol some slightly better frame rates and visuals at best.

I make 15.75 an hour. Honestly I need to just build a low-mid range PC and get out of consoles at this point.

They're going to be 600 bucks next time around and that point you might as well go PC.

Consoles are ~$500 every 7 years. Are you telling me I can have a gaming pc that plays the latest games for less than $500 every 7 years? I doubt it

It's not that much to upgrade your graphics card unless you're buying top of the line parts.
