Who is buying a PS5 or Xbox whatever at these prices?  At some point, gamers just need to SAY NO with their wallets and check the greed of these companies.  But many won't.  They have suckled at the breast of their respective brand of choice for too long and withdrawal is painful. Realizing the fanboydom means nothing is a bitter pill as well.
