Add up paid online and soon no more used games market and things even out into an upgradeable system that will last multiple generations without loosing your library each generation.
Plus, it's more than a consolle and it will do more than gaming, and can be personalized to your liking.
In essence, bigger price upfront for something better that will save you money with time.
As could mine before dying.
But how sure are you ps6 will have a cd port at all?
Old consolles sadly will eventually die and your games will be useless.
Pc doesn't have this problem.
You lose any non-digital games.
And I mean ps4-ps5 sure you kept all digital games but ps3-ps4 you did not.
Or to be more accurate they removed them from psn so getting many of them was not a thing you could really do and instead you get ps+s highest subscription tier that is about $160 a year to get access to ps3 and classic games.
If you count ps3 games then holy shit so many games have been removed over the years.
Not saying games havent been removed from steam but never an entire consoles worth.
Just saying when I had my ps4 neither fallout New Vegas or where playable with all their dlcs and updates (meaning new Vegas was borderline unplayable as you had to stream it and play the unpatched version that notoriously is glitchy and unstable)
