There are console comparable to RX 6600 that costs 200$/€?

That's not how the enforce security works. You're either capable to secure the device without removing basic functionality, or don't.

Xbox has a browser, as any iphone/ipad out of there. If the only way for Sony to keep security is cripple functionality; it doesn't mark their device as valuable at all

(additionally, with proper web browser support you can play web videogames without have to pay Sony: would you say this also apply to Sony's choice to remove web browser?)

Remember when everyone though the PS3 was insane at 599 US dollars?

The day Microsoft did smile, as finally they could see an actual chance for their xbox thing.

You sure? Last I remember the "crazy" quota was paying $999 for a monitor holder branded by a fruit (a bitten fruit, not even a whole one).

Joke aside, the most amusing thing, is that you have to pay $700 for a device attached to your TV, then if you want to check a website you have to resort on your smartphone or whatever shitty browser is integrated in your "smart" TV... because PS5 don't have web browser support!

Can someone explain? How does the user’s language affect the % of Linux users?

There's a lot of Windows piracy (both OS and software), this helped Microsoft to boost Windows adoption; thus China, and Chinese language, account for an heavy boost in Windows overall adoption on global statistics (lot of people).

'Epic is not pressing their advantage'

" ... not giving enough bribe money for BL4 after Tim Sweeny's waste of money on BL3"

...I guess giving away free money is still a bummer when you don't see them back.

Microsoft business was never meant to convince: it's either forcing their way in by bully OEMs in doing what they want, and make sure Linux isn't an option, like in the ACPI case, or buy successful companies that elude their direct control (or simply buy companies that already won the battle they are fighting, like their desperate attempt to make a success "Microsoft Game Studio" and instead resort to buy Bethesda, Activision etc.)

If you ever played Pen&Paper Battleship as child, you already know what a Vector2 is (Vector2i more precisely), it just didn't click yet.
