I have been a Sony customer—specifically a PlayStation customer—since 1995. That's more than 30 years. I bought the original PlayStation not long after launch. I queued at midnight on launch day outside Electronics Boutique to buy my PlayStation 2—a console I still own today. Since then, I've owned two PlayStation 3s, a PSP-1000, an original PlayStation 4, a PlayStation 4 Pro, and now a PlayStation 5 (disc edition, naturally). Over those three decades, I've built a considerable collection of physical games across every generation. During that time, I've never owned an Xbox, never owned a Nintendo console, and have barely gamed on PC beyond a brief obsession with Transport Tycoon in the 1990s. I will not be buying a PlayStation 6. If I'm going to be forced into an all-digital future, then I'll choose a platform that offers genuine choice. I'll choose a platform that isn't locked to a single storefront. I'll choose a platform where stores compete for my business and consumers have real freedom. That platform will, in all likelihood, be SteamOS. "Play Has No Limits." This player does.
