Change business models scares me. It sounds like the first steps towards exactly what the entire industry wants to become. No more hardware, just streaming devices where they own everything with the excuse of shortage manipulation. Good luck if it comes to that, it’s the first time I will say goodbye Sony since growing up with them from the beginning PS1 era.
Early 2000s i had everything, xbox, gamecube, ps2 and everything prior. Since then i only went with Sony getting a PS3, and PS4. No wii or wiiu or any xbox since the original. I did get a switch a few years after release, which was great as well, but idk about the switch 2 either. At this point its been PS5 and a gaming PC which I was lucky enough to build only a few years ago when prices came down for a short time and hope it lasts about 10 years. This will have to get me buy for the foreseeable future, and just hope the hardware doesnt fail first.

I’m terrified of the “rent compute” future we’re heading towards.
