tbf, most Consoles sold at a Loss, so Consoles would have to become more expensive if that wasn't the case.

I'd rather pay more money for a freer system but that option isn't offered. Either I'm too niche or locking users down is more valuable than raw sales profit (or both).

I've not bought a console since they got internet and needed updates. Been Windows-free for a while too.
