“Most profitable” just means it exists in the age where people who play FIFA and CoD are more milked for microtransactions. That line trends down when their hardware units sold do too. PS5 is lagging behind PS4 by about 20M units in the same timeframe when you consider how many of them are actually out there, while your link is focused solely on dollars. If everything were hunky-dory in PlayStation land, I doubt they’d bother to bring God of War, Spider-Man, and Horizon to PC at all. There’s also the fact that PC over the past few years overtook consoles for where the most copies of games are sold, for most franchises anyway, which never used to be the case.
I thought PS5 and switch were some of the best selling consoles of all time? Just because they are in the later part of their generation now doesn’t change that.
This is an “article” in PC GAMER written by some “pC mAsTeR rAC3” lunatic. Who upvotes this crap?

I thought from the title it was obvious.

Computer only game bitch here: the PS5 is a marvel of technology especially at its price point and it’s amazing. I’m so happy for my console friends.
The PS4 and XBone were shit garbage boxes with slow ass hard drives and CPUs and I hate them.
I have every console from the 2600 to PS3/Wii/360. No way I’d get a PS4/Xbone. Three minute load times in Monster Hunter World is insulting.
