A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I was just about to invest in a high-end PC when the RAM prices started to go crazy. I'll wait it out. My PS5 is gonna make it easier for me to wait.

Hopefully the gabecube will be affordable and able to run a lot well.

If they went by the same strategy as console manufacturers, that is, selling at a loss at start, they would kill off XBox and Nintendo and Playstation would also take a big hit

They're not going to sell at a loss. The upfront cost will be a lot higher than for a PS5

Wait for a PS6 that Sony will sell at a loss due to earning it back on games and salvage that sweet sweet ram and GPU for a home made PC lol.
