Unless this improves the hashtag # for coin mining, it won't sell. I challenge someone to show me that gaming is the primary reason PS5 consoles are like unicorns, or even rarer grateful, respectful children.

Silicon shortage. No one seriously mines on a console.

Yes, you can mine cryptocurrency with your PlayStation 4 console, a few super powerful processors, and a lot of electricity. Ukrainian authorities revealed the discovery of a huge farm dedicated to cryptocurrency mining

Can you mine cryptocurrencies using a PS4?

Answer (1 of 8): Electroneum proposed this idea conceptually in their white paper but have not yet made it possible. Whether electroneum actually lives up to anything at all remains to be seen. No other entity, to the best of my knowledge, have made this suggestion, let alone made it feasible. I...

However whether the consoles are being used to mine coins or earn game currency that can be sold, the consoles are being misused.

I know for a fact it's possible. I will reiterate though: no one on earth does it seriously. It's not even profitable in most instances. Buying scalper cards would be more practical.

Yes, but blaming crypto for one oddball FIFA-currency earning scam is like blaming the Sun for burning your hand on the stovetop.

No, they were right to go with an open standard. In the future prices will continuously decrease, with the closed xbox solution you're stuck with what they give you at the price they decide, or get a knockoff which will have the same problems.

console player are average laymen users, they woundt know any any better than a proprietary solution, every major ssd brand have over a dozen models of a PCI ssd, that intimidates average gamer.

They included a performance benchmark to measure reads, which is what will matter most during gameplay. If anything, SSD brands doing component swaps will more easily get caught because the drives will be tested more often.

like i said, every major ssd bran caught swapping componets are are as much as half performance once cach is draned, in a year ssd recomendations might be not true because those ssds might have been swapped, with a proprietary solution, its a guaranteed quality control

Manufacturers will want to meet ps5 requirements and competition will drive prices down. If console players are more laymen than average gamers there's always an opportunity to learn, it takes like 5 minutes to put a new ssd in - the new ps5 revision even uses some kind of quick release mechanism to facilitate the task.

Let's not excuse or allow for planned market monopolies on the account of user ignorance, they can learn, it they don't there's a number of shops that can profit from the easy job. I guess everyone who's defending the xbox solution will change their tune once the prices of pcie 4.0 SSDs start dropping next year and the seagate proprietary solution still costs more or less the same

The very open solution you are defending opens the laymen console gamer to all the monopolies you claim, like i said every major ssd brand caught swapping components for cheaper nand, even if they did their research deciding to buy a good Samsung or WD, then surprised performance is stuttery, latet to be shocked they got scammed with a swapped SSD directly from the manufacturer they trusted, most brand were caught doing it.

With a proprietary solution its guaranteed quality control, a console does no need to be complicated, i respect sony for making it an open solution, but with how wildly different SSD specs are, and even the most respected ones are being swapped without notice that's going to create a lot of back lash

Just buy a SSD that has the ps5 logo on it. Return it if it does not work as advertised. Pretty simple.
Also, ”all the monopolies” is not a thing. There either is A monopoly, or no monopoly. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly
