If the PS5 Pro (and sparkly Xbox Series X) price is the new normal, I'll be done with console gaming after more than 30 years

Xbox EA SPORTS Microsoft PlayStation Sony Sega Windows Central

I love console gaming. I've been mainly playing on console since my parents bought my first Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis as you may know it) back in the early 1990s (yes, I'm dating myself there). As the years went by, the new consoles of the time were always the things I desired the most. When I started earning my own money, I branched out into having Xbox and PlayStation, as well as dabbling with others like the majestic Sega Dreamcast.

Already, this generation has seen me slim down to a single console. I have owned a PS5, but it wasn't being used much, so I sold it. Despite an increase in the amount of PC gaming I do these days, especially with the Steam Deck, I'm a console guy at heart. I've owned every single iteration of the Xbox and PlayStation consoles to date.
