usually old hardware gets cheaper. xbox looked at that tradition and went the other direction. the new august pricing makes the same consoles noticeably more expensive this deep into the generation. i understand the explanation about memory and storage costs. still feels completely backwards when you are the person actually buying one. and the timing is rough. gta 6 is only a few months away, so there are definitely people who waited specifically to buy a console for the big fall games. series s is still the cheaper way into a lot of those games, but the value argument is getting harder every time the sticker moves up. console pricing has entered pc hardware logic. same object, new year, somehow more expensive.

bad take but PC players spend six months calling every console weak, then get mad when the game is built for the boxes normal people own. Let Rockstar finish one version before they deal with 900 CPU and GPU combos, ultrawide, mouse aim, driver problems and some guy trying to run it from a hard drive he bought in 2013. You also get mods later. We get vanilla forever unless a cheat menu kid joins Online and teleports the lobby into the ocean. Waiting sucks but acting oppressed because you cannot benchmark puddles on release night is very PC gamer behavior.
