| It's either that or a rumored $1200-$1800 for the next Xbox: https://www.techspot.com/news/114275-next-xbox-could-arrive-... The divide between those that can own their own consoles and those that are forced to feed the cloud quarter-by-quarter like an old-timey arcade is widening, and this sucks. |

| $1200 translates to 5000 hours of streaming, so you have to play quite a lot before having your own console would be cheaper. |

| ▲ | danbruc an hour ago | parent [-] | | Do most people keep their old consoles or do they generally replace them with a newer one? And even if they keep them, do they actually use them or do they end up in the attic? And I guess you could always get one ten years after the release for little money. |
