The absolute insanity around PS5's pricing is reaching new heights. From this, a new philosophical paradox has arised:
Schrödinger's PS5
The PS5 is simultaenously too costly to manufacture and so much worse than the Xbox Series X that
- it cannot be priced at 399/499 because they would lose too much money
- It cannot be priced at 449/549 or 499/599 because there's no value to it
This new paradox goes hand in hand with two new paradoxes created by next-gen propaganda and is being added to two existing paradoxes:
The Power Paradox
Which states that a console's power can only be used as an argument depending on how powerful the console is compared to a Sony product
- The PS5 is underpowered and will hold back the Series X
- The Series S is fine and will not hold back the Series S
The Speed Paradox
Which states that a console's speed can only be measured if the manufacturer cannot show it
- Sony showing R&C loading new levels in 2 seconds does not prove virtually no loading screens and that the console is faster than the XSX / XSS
- Microsoft showing two games taking >10 seconds to load a save does not prove that the console is not slower than the PS5.
