all the hype around the SM diedlmao
And then the next press release will come and it’ll all be back.You’re new to this, aren’t you?
>>107881437The Valvetendo GabeCube!
>>107881437Bad timing. Developing this just before hardware prices fucking explode. Might as well just get a PS5 or a PS5 lite when they come out with it. It's PS5's, PS5 lites and PS5 pro's until 2035.
>>107881463Valve would've procured contracts on ram and other components before the announcement. This is also the reason PS5s aren't jumping up in price (yet), because Sony locked down contracts of their own beforehand as well. However, that's not to say how long these contracts are good for, and once they need to be renewed, that will certainly cause issues. Which could still lead to a delay or higher price to start, because Valve might not want to release it at a given price just to have to increase the price significantly a year later, and piss everyone off. But speaking of the PSquintuple, with those spicy new hacks that just came out, a PS5 or PS5pro might unironically become the most accessible way to get into PC gaming. If the hacks result in the ability to install linux and just treat the thing as a custom "prebuilt"
i'll get one
>Announce product>No price>No release date>Do nothing>looming technological headaches outside of their controlIt's a 101 of exactly how to kill hype.
>>107881520Valve has the worst luck when it comes to hardware anything.
actually am really looking forward to the controller. SM I don't care
>>107881520>thinks announcements are done before any work as occurredyeah, nah
>>107881498>Valve would've procured contracts on ram and other components before the announcement.True. But even at my job for things like lumber and other materials we'll usually have a condition in the contract that if material prices go up so and so percentage beyond our control that we have a right to increase the price by an equivalent amount.
they waited too long to 'perfect' it, they should have iterated more quickly after seeing the steamdeck succeed. but desu they couldn't have seen sam altman's ram fuckery coming
>>107881437I said from the outset, 299 or DoA. People didn’t want to spend $600 on a console back when the economy was hot. They sure as fuck aren’t going to spend it now.
>>107881437>>107881463snoys are getting desperate
The form factor is sexo. I'd unironically consider downgrading from my fuckhuge PC if I didn't occasionally play AAA slop.
>LGBT socks in background
>>107882633Except it's not just a console and no one with a triple digit IQ thinks it is
Nothing new as been announced the fuck do you want?I have a 4060 so I expect the performance to be similar, I would even try steamOS if they start supporting nvidia cards but I doubt it.
>>107881437was funny when some anon leaked the price here at $1299 and everyone was shitting and pissing on him and laughing at the "ridiculous price"
>>107881437I'm looking forward to getting one, there's just nothing left to discuss.
>>107883103>1299I'd unironically buy it up to 1500 for the form factor and ease of use.
This shitty little scam seems to have sold so well I'm convinced that the future of gaming is just a dock next to your tv that you plug your phone into. Maybe the dock is an enclosure for a little baby eGPU.
>>107883139what the fuck is that
>>107883151Ouya for children
>>107883151Nex PlaygroundIt's outselling the Xbox (or at least it was over Christmas) and it's a $249.99 shit box with a $89.99 yearly subscription for like 50 shovelware mobile games. Has a camera on the front and a lot of the games work like wii games. >>107883178Basically.A real company could make a WAY better console for $250 MSRP and $90 a year subscription. And apparently they'd sell.
>>107883151It's a mid-range android phone from 7 years ago without a screen.
>>107881463Give it a couple years and this thing >>107881437 will be able to "emulate" PS5 too.
>>107881463Sorry, I'm not buying the gay cinematic moviebox.
>>107883045We already have superior mini PCs in the $500 range, it'll be 299 or DoA. Go waste your money and learn the hard way, Valve won't support it if it bombs.
>>107881621>be RAM manufacturer>uhhhh you see we have to sell you this thing we make ourselves for 5x as much as what we signed for it's le outside our control :^)))))))))))))))))
>>107881437>SMLewd...
>almost $1000 for a prebuilt PC that is already obsolete before it even releases Yeah no shit no one wants it
>>107881437people are meant to be hyped every day for six months or something over a fucking pc? are you retarded?
>>107881520>Housebound sperg thinks he knows about marketing
>>107883269>Huh, no one will buy this unless it's $50 and it includes a girlfriend. DOA.This is probably going to be as cheap or cheaper than a pre-built at the same spec, plus it comes with controllers.
>>107883277Well I don't know the specifics of the deal as clearly as you seem to. But depending on the type of deal you're making you might not necessarily make a deal directly with a RAM manufacturer. You might make a deal with a futures trader that's already ordered the chips years in advance.
