    Marketing manipulation. We have been conditioned to precieve value in some things over others. It eleminates the idea that you as an individual have to engage and investigate to find your own value of a piece of art. I’m not saying that the popular pieces of an artist aren’t incredibly good. Just understand that an artist probably has dozens of other work you might want to engage with and appreciate.

    I’ve seen this soon many times at art museums. Sure Starry night and Mona Lisa are great but the artists’ other masterpieces are literally 10 steps away and people seem to casually ignore. The power of the totebag fridge magnets.

    Sony was always the “exclusives” company. For the PS5 I believe they outsold the Xbox equivalent all most 2:1 but I think that is because more and more people have gaming PCs. I still can’t believe PS5 sold something like 90 million! I think Sony is fighting a losing battle now steam is pushing for agnostic hardware and I only see Sony continuing this business model with exclusives that will never come to PC. Right now they are doing the math to determine what it would take to get the average person to buy a new PlayStation vs how much they made from Sony pc sales. It’s going to get harder every year with less developers going totally exclusive and the component cost increased. I’m guessing they will use the same model for ps6. Sell the consoles based on excluses then wait a few years once the console sales dip and move them over to PC. Steam machine is a real wildcard here.
