Although your post is kinda hyperbolic and I don't agree with your price conclusions because I think Sony is willing to eat the extra cost. However, as someone who has been closely paying attention to the tech side of these consoles this post has a lot of truth to it. Sony going with a 2.23 clock was completely shocking. To support BC, Sony went fast and narrow and, from a business perspective, it's looking to be the wrong gamble. I think when we look back on these consoles in like 5 years, the PS5 technology design will be considered something of a disappointment. Not a disappointment for most gamers, but a disappointment for people who analyze this stuff from a tech and business perspective. It isn't all bad news - the one possible upside for the PS5 is long term they may be able to more aggressively reduce costs than the XSX due to the lower CU count, etc.
That said, I think Sony is willing to eat these costs now to sell a ton of consoles, and for most gamers none of this will really matter. However, I think Sony biz folks and shareholders aren't loving the PS5 design right now and I suspect Sony is regretting some of their decisions.
IMO, of course.
