And the lack of a requirement for a subscription service which means the actual cost of the PlayStation 6 over a 7 year life span is something like $1800. That's assuming the cost of a monthly PlayStation plus membership doesn't go up and they continue to subsidize the hardware by selling it at cost. And it doesn't include buying games.
