If it makes you feel any better, that house would sell for at least double that price where I live.

Don’t know if I’d say simpler, some of the games for the NES are downright punishing in their difficulty.

Have you considered inserting disc 2?

Whoa! You can have any gun you want, but we draw the line at allowing logic.

It’s cheaper for Sony to manufacture and ship yet

Is it? Based on what? The article says:

While it undoubtedly saves Sony money to produce and ship a smaller console none of those savings are being passed on and the new model costs the same as the current “fat” model.

There’s no attribution for what they seem to accept as nearly axiomatic, that it’s cheaper. What are they basing this on? I don’t know because this article doesn’t say, it seems to just be their assumption.

There has been a massive chip shortage and record inflation since the PS5 was launched. Not to mention that the original consoles were sold at a loss.

They may still be selling them at a loss, or possibly cost. But even if we assume that the unattributed “facts” are correct, and Sony is making a small profit after selling consoles at a loss for years, why would I be upset?
