    Why do they already think about the next console? ( Same for pc components )

    Of course for MONEY

      The next gen of consoles is expected around 2027/28, and they generally start developing them about 5 years before they release. So seems right on schedule for them to be thinking about the next one.

      Plus the ramifications of this will echo on for decades, so makes sense to project further out into the future.

      But of course it’s all about money. These are massive corporations, it’s all they care about. I haven’t seen them once argue against the merger for the sake of the art form

      They made so much money selling all their product to scalpers (who don’t buy games). Just think about how much they’ll make next time.
