121 countries are unable to make PSN accounts, which means that they are unable to use the PlayStation Store. In a digital-exclusive future—which looks likely for the PS6 after Sony announced plans to cease production of game discs in 2028—that means everyone in those countries will be locked out from purchasing titles on the platform.

Well you don't have to build them right now. You've got time. As I understand Sony is pushing PS6 release into 2028 due to all the hardware shortage. Either the bubble pops and hardware prices drop (or maybe China gets its production high enough to bring the prices down) or prices will still be so incredibly expensive that the next gen consoles will also be pushed back. Use the hardware you have right now and let us all cling to the hope that maybe in the future things will be better.
