Fixed title:

PlayStation's CEO drastically overestimates the PC crowd's wallet capacity, thinks PC gamers will buy an inferior, overpriced, locked down PC that can only play specific games on a non-replacable proprietary OS with planned obsolescence for when the PS6 comes out

I'll never not be a PC gamer but calling PS overpriced at the moment is wild. Compared to the cost of PC components right now 5 or 6 hundred is not ridiculous. That's cheaper than mid to high tier GPU alone.

and that's accounting for a theoretical PS6, used PS5 rn is probably <$400.

Edit: typo

it is not as if used PCs with year old components aren't cheaper than new ones. The console is significantly worse here because the subscription prices do not get reduced by anything because the hardware is older.
