They can only do that because Microsoft dropped the ball and there is no real competition in sight.

Err.. What about Steam. Steam Machine, plenty of portable options are available with not only SteamOS now, Steam Frame is inbound, and I'd expect to see a lot of Steam machine clones.

I'm still playing games I purchased 10+ years ago still (finally trying to finish Broken Age)

The only thing going for Playstation / Xbox really is the pricing at the moment

Yes but this is kind of like telling someone who's Nissan broke down "Mercedes exists!"

Even at $600 with the basic PS plus it would take around 6.6 years to approach the price of a steam machine or steam deck at this point.

Depends how many games you buy. I have hundreds of steam games, many from 10+ years ago

That's fair I guess that would be true after awhile its really just the high cost that's the barrier of entry for people stuck with consoles. I wish this could change but looking at the reality of it all at the moment I don't think its going to change for a long time.

Also Broken Age is amazing such a gem of a game definitely finish it when you can you won't be disappointed.
