So as a result, it was like there wasn't this one unbroken chain the way that there is with PlayStations.
So the question doesn't really apply in the same way.
You can't say, oh, the new 3DS, well, that was kind of a bridge between the 3DS and the Switch console.
Yeah, that doesn't really feel true because the Switch is just a dramatically different piece of hardware.
Part of what Joe is getting at and part of what's going on here is that the PlayStation is just kind of always the same at this point.
It is just kind of a gaming PC that runs proprietary software and plugs into your TV.
And so the 4, the 4 Pro...
The Vive, the Vive Pro, it's just kind of like, it's all kind of a slightly faster version of the same thing.
And because Sony just has this one console that they make in this one line, it feels a lot more like it's all semantics.
Well, what are we calling it?
Is it the PS5 Pro or is it the PS6?
Like, it's just kind of down to what they called it.
Well, but it's down to what games play on it.
That's true, but it feels kind of anticlimactic or it feels sort of disappointing to get this mid-cycle refresh because it's just a little bit faster.
And then we get the PS6 that'll play all of the old games.
The exclusives on the new console are kind of less of a selling point because the console is fundamentally mostly unchanged.
For me, I remember the most noticeable change was just that my console didn't sound like a jet engine taking off anymore.
That was the big thing with the PS4, where playing God of War, I think it was, on the PS4 Pro, I mean, I'm sure it ran at a higher frame rate, but mostly it was just like you could hear the game because the console didn't just have fans running at maximum RPM at all times to keep from melting.
I would read that.
Maddie, have you read or have you watched Margo's Got Money Troubles, the new Apple show?
