Absolutely, they should. If there is a shortage, Sony are going to want to put the limited consoles in the hands of people they know are going to sink money into it early, either with digital games, subscriptions or dlc. I understand why Ars Technica thinks this is bad but not why people on this sub would. After all, we are not communists.
And if there's any problems, like the old Red Ring of Death thing, well, they get to have fun with it first. That's their downside.
Someone like me, who is curious but hasn't had anything to do with consoles since the Sega Genesis was a thing, can sit back and see just how good the thing is before deciding whether or not to get one of those, or a Vive (but I'd have to upgrade mb, cpu and ram first, so you see the conundrum for a thrifty mind.)
However, I like modding, so I'll probably get Starfield through Steam anyway, and that's the only game I know of that I'm actually kind of looking forward to, besides maybe Potion Paws. :P
Yeah, as I said, I like modding. Plus their engine has a nice Immortal mode for when I mostly just want to fuck around, but not have the blahness that is full god mode. Wish more games made it that easy, and "cheeves" can go fuck themselves.
I mostly like to mess around in open world sandboxy type things.

What is starfield? I generally will give any game tangentially related to space a fair shake, dont remember starfield though.
And yes I realize by the time you see and reply to this I will have given it a search but would still like to hear your take on it.
Spez: Bethesda, really? Good luck with that.

It will also make things difficult for scalpers if they can't buy multiple consoles until after the supply has stabilised.
