I'd imagine it would mirror what Xbox has done, where PlayStation 5 regular gets this percentage of an upgrade, and PlayStation 5 Pro gets this much, if it is all based on chips and imports and this, that, and the other. I think there'd be some reason to do it there. Oh, Silk Gamer says, do you think this extends the console generations? Great question there. And here we go.

Barrett's got it pulled up. And this again, where I just go cross-eyed. Because there's so many goddamn things going all over the place, but you see it going for Xbox, yeah.

Which, again, I think speaks to what this actually is. I think that's the thing. I look at all this, and I look at PlayStation, even Nintendo's messaging on it, and I know I get shit for saying this, but I do feel bad for them, because I don't think these aren't... They don't want to do this. This isn't a, oh, we can raise the prices and take advantage. They know they're going to lose consumers.

They know they're locking people out of

Maybe that's what they built to be, you know what I mean? But hold on, the Portland Cabin... Also, everything's an Xbox now. Yep, it's true. The Portland Cabin doubles down on the question I asked, but we didn't answer and got away from. What do the higher-priced consoles do to the timeline for the next generation? Does it force Microsoft and Sony to push out their future plans? I don't...

I would say no. I would say no. My reasoning being is that I think we're all well aware that behind closed doors, these machines are being worked on and planned and yada, yada, yada. And I think you'd be so far on both the Xbox and PlayStation 6 timelines that it's like... Well, fuck, if we throw all of this away, we don't know how much that next chip, whatever, is going to cost on top of that.

You're taking a big gamble on, again, shifting sands and not knowing where this is, and then hopefully the belief that eventually these tariffs go away. Maybe they go away during this Trump administration as he keeps punting it 30 days and changing his mind and doing this thing and having to touch the fucking stove every fucking 90 days. Yeah. Maybe that happens here.

I think for them, if I was there, I'd be like, guys, it's business as usual. Let's do it, and we will cross these bridges when we get to them.

I think, again, we're back into... I hear you and I understand that. But, again, I think we're just into this new space where it just isn't like it was PS1 to PS2 to PS3, where it just really is like...
