Perhaps it’s good guy Sony trying to pull players in the right direction with their gaming hardware,

Funny.

or maybe it’s a method designed to coax players away from a withdrawing platform that they’ve started sunsetting.

'The PS5 sales have not met our expectations.'

But yeah, one can feel the limitations of the PS4. Whoever wants to buy a PS5 will have bought one by now, more so considering it's really not an affordable buy in any way. At this time, it might be the fomo addiction which would push someone into buying a new console that pretty much tethers you to its subscription models.
