I like Dave2D’s comparison of this refresh to the Steam Deck wherein both Sony and Valve are in unique positions where their dominance in their own market space should mean they can afford to reduce costs for their hardware since losses are subsidized by their marketplace anyway.
Valve’s the only one doing it, while upgrading the Deck OLED with a better screen, better APU, better fan, and more battery life. Sony on the other hand is just resting on its laurels.
