But I don't feel that's the entire point, necessarily. These last two generations of consoles have utterly failed to capture the appeal of console gaming. I play on PC and have for nearly a decade now but I was a relatively late adopter and still remember my console roots. I see it as either something perfectly servicable for casual gamers and a stepping stone for hardcore gamers like me who eventually make their way to PC.
Its appeal lies in people who don't have very discriminatory taste - i.e. they don't mind lower framerates, resolutions and graphical fidelity as long as they can play their latest release - and prefer the simplicity of not having to install launchers and mod games to be optimised on modern systems or run properly.
While that first part might sound contradictory to what I said in my previous post, I'm mostly talking about people wanting value for money in new systems; you want bang for your buck and to see all the bells and whistles shown off. That, to me, is why the PS5 Pro and consoles like it feel like such a scam. Sony are trying to milk their braindead consoomer audience into forking out another 700 for something that doesn't even pretend to run better.
