I’m starting to think that it’s okay to let PS5-kun die as it is, and learn from it as an example of how PS5-kun died without serious resale measures.
To begin with, in Japan, it is said that a game machine fails if it cannot be purchased for 20,000 yen within five years of its release, and in fact, all of the game machines that have spread over 15 million units have been reduced to 20,000 yen or less. Aside from PCs, the design of dedicated game consoles must be designed with the highest performance within the upper limit of the selling price, which is 30,000 yen at the beginning and 20,000 yen at the end.

I’m a PS user from PS3,
Regarding the price increase, it is only a factor that increases the number of resellers.
The number of people who say it’s faster to buy a PC is increasing, so I think the position of the PS is already in danger.

There is a limit to increasing the number of lines, even if you increase it, it will not reach the Japanese market (immediate export to overseas), even if it does, it will be stolen by resellers because of the holes in the resale countermeasures. I’ve seen somewhere that it’s a vicious circle that will never be resolved.
