With the Xbox crazy name being revealed, and E3 getting closer every day, I think it's time to decide. Sony has been getting away with anti-consumer practices for awhile now and several of which are being swept under the rug by PS4 only owners.
However, if Sony were to keep ALL the anti-consumer practices on the PS4 and bring them to the PS5, would you still purchase a PS5?
Let's take a closer look at Sony's anti-consumer practices below.
And there's MANY more I haven't even listed. This is but a brief summary.
I know i'll be hesitant to by one if they keep all the PS4's anti-consumer practice for the PS5.

Let's take a closer look at Sony's anti-consumer practices below.
- Censorship on an increasing number of games
- Hesitant of crossplay, limited titles that support it
- Controlling indie developers with contracts.
- PSnow prices
- Closing multiple studios despite those studios not losing a lot of money
- Weakest streaming platform compared to competitors (Stadis etc.)
- Purposely locking the built in PS2 emulator in the PS4 behind a pay wall
- Controlling some Japanese retail release dates in the west.
- Removing digital codes from offline and online retailers
- Rejecting features from other companies which would be good for gamers. (EA Access etc.)
- Throwing Vita owners under the bus less than 2 years after release
- Complacency
- Not helping release original games unless they take control of the IP in many cases.
- Ignoring for 5 years of constant complaints from their loyal customers to improve thumbstick durability.
- Dismissive PSN customer service.
