The thing is, they don't have to. I wonder when will the bans start for people that come into Neo/Scorpio threads to say "well I don't want it/this sucks/please don't buy this/I'll upgrade my PC instead/I'm going to buy NX/angry random words to express you're not interested
!"
The funny thing is, they cannot bring themselves to say the truth, which is they are jealous of someone having a better console - but they cant say that as it sounds like a 12 year old child.
So we get developer concern, price concern, optimisation concern, future of console concern, every year a new console concern or a plea to how console gaming saved their existence and the console world will come to an end as we know it..
So next comes the emotion and toys out of the pram, I am done with gaming, screw Sony, I will build a PC where I can be the bottom of the pile. Think I have read enough of them now, not seen 1 sensible arguments saying why iteration is bad.
Sony has to weigh up against potentially losing customers who do spend allot of money going back to Microsoft if Sony are not offering a high end console option. The shift 360 to Ps4 was real in UK and uSA.....could easily be reversed.
I dont thing Sony will care about iterative console negativity as everybody is doing it, its just empty warbling, and PC gaming is iterative every month lol, someone will always have an advantage over you in any game on PC.
