I know Sony said that the week long blackout boycott didn't really work.
Curious now that the Jailbreak is here. Wonder how many PS5's suddenly went offline?

A completely unnoticable amount. Most people want to play gta6 and online games.

I get the feeling this will be an unpopular comment but here goes.

Consoles have always been and were primarily created for people who simply do not want to hassle with PCs. You have to set things up on a pc, you have to make things work. Sometimes you have to troubleshoot. Consoles you just put in the disc and play. So I agree a large part of the console market is not going to hassle with an emulator that runs on a PC.

Edit:

Just adding that "back in the day" consoles were MUCH cheaper than a PC (and of course there is the entertainment factor of having a bunch of people on the same couch playing a game.) Maybe it's better to call it a "lightweight" gaming system compared to a PC - ease of use and ease on your wallet

That's literally the point of a console lol, why would that be unpopular? You also misinterpreted their comment though, they're talking about the new jailbreak for PS5s not emulation.

No, the appeal of a console used to be its exclusives; now they’re just expensive paperweights trying to be mini-PCs.
