>Gamers don’t want Facebook. They don’t want TV. Gamers want games.

Yeah, the fact that the PS2 could play DVDs had absolutely nothing to do with its tremendous success.



This is how I convinced my parents to buy both a PS2 and PS3 - the PS3 was one of the most affordable blu-ray players when introduced, it just happened to have a game console attached to it.


It was a much better player than most dedicated bluray players at the time too.


The difference is that everyone (to some approximation) who is likely to buy a PS5 has a computer of some description that is perfectly capable of streaming media - you're not thinking "oh, I need to get that console so I can watch Facebook Gaming".
