LaunchChads are feeling pretty good right now huh
Yeah for years they've been playing..........and uh..............
>>721387279>waitImplying anyone is waiting for this.
Sonic Unleashed an xbox 360 game got a full blown recompilation PC port before series x got a price drop. Its dire
>>721387279This is why I'm getting a Switch 2 next month instead of next year. God knows how much damage Trump is about to do to the global economy in general and the tech industry in particular over the next few months.
>>721387279Xbox Series X is a premium device for premium gamers
>>721387279Waiting fags are just retards for at least 5 years now.
>>721387279I remember back when there was a big tsunami in Taiwan that washed out a lot of the hard drive factories and for awhile hard drive prices spiked because there was a genuine shortage of units for sale because they literally couldn't produce enough to meet demand with the equipment that survived the floods. "Oh it'll just be temporary while they rebuild capacity."Naturally, hard drive prices never came back down again even after capacity was restored.Price hikes are 100% greed, every time. This is no exception. This kind of garbage article is just paid wankery trying to convince you to buy now now now!
>>721387279PC Chads are feeling pretty good you mean.
China pays the tariffs
>>721388417It's a bargain at twice the price, which it soon will be.
>FOMO article>y-you better buy our consoles w-while you still can!!PC and mobile/handhelds are the futureconsoles are dead/dying
>>721387279This is the time early adopters purchases have appreciated in value. Are consoles about to become viable asset investments? Should I be buying dozens of PS5's, Series X's, and Switch 2's as a physical alternative to the stock market / real estate?
>>721387279i dont care everything sucks now
>>721391902If you bought gme stock instead of a ps5 you'd have about $5000
>>721387397Fable 1, fable 2(when it's not crashing...), and gears of war 2.
>>721391902The line can only go up anon.
>>721391902I don't see any way that bulk buying a tech product that will depreciate in value extremely quickly upon a new product launch could ever be a bad idea for a long term investment, honestly you should take out some loans and max out some credit cards to fund it.
>>721387279Are there any games on the Series X that aren't also available on the Xbone?
>>721387279That's fine. I already own thousands of games, the majority of which I haven't played. I don't need $80-90 slop.I just bought FFXI, with all its expansions and add ons, for $9. I'm sure I will get infinitely more enjoyment, just with the free month of game time it comes with, than any AAA game that releases this year.
>>721392182Starfield.
>>721392182Yes, but nearly all of those are on PC too so it's still pointless. I am champion of pissing away money on consoles I don't need and these retards couldn't even give me a reason to do so.
>>721391902Literally safer than gold.
How's the recession going Americans?
>>721392391My ETH and AI stocks are up about 300-400% so bretty gud to be desu.
>>721392481>bubble stockslmao
>>721392564What, you think I'm gonna hold it for the next decade? You take the money and throw it at the next bubble on the run up.
>>721392932>I'm totes not gonna get caught holding the bag
>>721391902>early adopters purchases have appreciated in value.They haven't. Your money has devalued.
>>721392978I have stop losses set and I've already quadrupled my money. It's literally not possible for me to get stuck holding a bag. Learn how investing works.
>>721393019There isn't more money in circulation, the price of consoles has gone up, so by already owning 1, I should technically be able to resell it at a higher price as well. Isn't that appreciation of value?
>>721387279"early adopter's tax" and "FOMO" have done irreparable damage to customer well-being.
>>721387279>If you don't buy the video game box you don't need with games you don't care about enough to buy in the amount to make the video game box worth the price RIGHT NOW...it could cost youHow will it cost me anything if I continue to not buy said console? Why would "buy it now or the price will go up" ever make me want to decide to buy the product in the first place? Especially when it's unproven, uninteresting and/or just built on promises.
>>721387279Bright idea Phil. You literal fucking retard
jokes on youill wait 15 years and pick up as many as i want for peanuts off ebayand then ill use them as doorstops
What's the point of owning a kekbox in 2025?>A mini PC is better as a media station>Zero exclusives>Backwards compatibility is limited to whatever Microshit could sell on the digital store, you're better off just getting an OG/360 and modding it
>>721395305The Series X is literally better than the Snoy PissStation 5. The hardware in the X IS OBJECTIVELY better. It has a better HUD and it has Game Pass.The problem is Microsoft has ruined their reputation with moronic business decisions and the lack of effective advertising.
>>721395305I bought mine in 2021 during the PS5 shortages, expecting to be mostly factored on singleplayer multiplat games. Then both systems regularly became an incredibly mediocre way to play everything not a F2P title, most paid AAA games jumped the shark to $70, and I don't wanna pay monthly fees for the right to play Halo MCC or the like online, so this thing became as much of a Fortnite machine as the PS5 did for most others.
>>721395470All that tech>no game going over 60fps, or 30 and the lowest Truly a marvel, truly
I gotta series s and I've never once cared about these graphics, gears f war 2 looks better than 95% of games nowadays
>>721395781>no gamessuch a tired old meaningless meme.It was tons of games. Ohhh you mean >muh exwoosivesright?No one except tribalistic brand loyalist retards care about that anymore.
shit b8 thread. imagine still trying to be a console war loser when no system has exclusives anymore. you can play Helldivers on Xbox now. you can play Forza Horizon on PlayStation now. and yet virgins still scream to the heavens that theyre better because...uhhh...
>>721395470Only thing X has that I wish PS5 did, was multi-game suspending.
>>721396426What if I told you half the time it breaks your games
>>721396604I don't know why it hasn't been a standard QA test on all consoles after people realized Bloodborne on PS4 would break its AI scripts if you woke it up after sleeping a couple days.
>>721395963>No one except tribalistic brand loyalist retards care about that anymore.It's the only thing that make consoles worth a damn, if you don't care about them and just want the best versions of multiplats it's better to invest towards PC, it even has Goypass too.
>>721396815Even at the scam prices they are currently at, it's still better to get A console instead of a PC. The GPU alone will cost just as much as a console
>>721387279Thanks for making everything the way it is now, normie fucks
>>721397359Good job. You get a star sticker!!
>>721397205Nta but not necessarily. Depends on how beefy a card you need. I see stuff with 40 series on sale for decent prices all the time and AMD is even cheaper. Neweggs got a desktop on sale with a 4060 and Ryzen 5 5500 up right now for $760. If all you care about is 1080p gaming there are decent options. Hell, you can even go Intel if you're a super poorfag.
>>721397205nah, even at a higher initial price a PC still offers significantly more than just games to justify itand no scam subscription for online play, cheaper games, and a stronger guarantee of your purchases actually persisting to the future while console BC is spotty from gen to gen
>>721387397there was a very brief moment during start of the ps5 xbox series gen where xbox was the better option. anything that didn’t have a native ps5 app ran better on xbox sex
>>721397205That's only if you're a retard and or what your needs are. You don't NEED a $2000 nVidia card unless you legit work with AI and need all the features the nVidia card offers. Yes, nVidia does objectively make a superior card than AMD, but again that depends on what you're doing with your machine. The average person isn't working with AI, they don't actually need an nVidia card. They can get an AMD card for more than half the price and will serve them just fine. I have a 7800XT. I play all my games at 1440 >100 FPS. I've had zero issues. I use my PC for gaming, Unity, content creation, and a fuck ton of other things, including porn. I also like modding, pirating overpriced slop and emulating. I also love free online... So a console makes no sense for me.If you are someone you uses for phone for everything "PC" and you're not interested in modding/pirating/emulating... then sure a console is the better choice. If all you want to do is game, then spending $1200 to $4000 on a rig IS stupid and a waste of money.
>>721387397The waiting game
>>721397645Gotta agree with you and I'm one of those fags who buys nearly every console eventually. I usually use my laptop when I game on PC, got a Ryzen 9 8945HS/4060 combo and that's good enough for everything I've thrown at it and I can still use it for everyday tasks. Not so with my PS5 and Xbox.
>>721397205You can buy a 9060 XT if you go AMD (like Xbox and Sony are doing) for like $380 in the states currently, and that's about on par with or better than both machines as a GPU. The XSX technically has more VRAM, but no games are going to be using that in the first place. These things can't even do native 4K for most of their games anyway, so you're not really punching high.
>>721397807Even the old nvidia cards are fine for the average person 99% of the time and you can get 40 and 30 series cards, or old laptop overstock for those series, for dirt cheap.Hell it looks like the 5060 is under $300 too. I heard that card was ass but still, for less than $300? Definitely not cost prohibitive if someone is dead fucking set on nvidia.
>>721389669I love being a PChadBut seeing console/AAA news ain't even funny anymore, just depressing.I just want it all to crash already so the market contracts even faster.Been playing Culic Chapter 2 and Dying Light The Beast.Waiting for Total Chaos and Dorf RTS
>>721398227Yes. Yes u can build a decent 1080p machine for well under a thousand and a solid 1440p machine for well under $1500, especially if you shop around and don't just buy everything from Newegg. The console warriors just post the $5000 meme as bait.
>>721398354>love being a PChad>But seeing console/AAA news ain't even funny anymore, just depressing.I love both PC and consoles and yeah, what's going on with consoles right now is absurd judaism. They're just using their hardware customers to subsidize all the money they piss away on woke trash that anyone who actually plays vidya would know would bomb.It didn't use to be where customers were expected to subsidize their 400 million dollar software development boondoggles.
>ACKshully you CAN get a pc for a reasonable price IF youre lucky or you can buy a shitty prebuilt with multiple bottlenecks :)Id have better luck winning the lottery
>>721387397fpbp
>>721388843Don't worry, it's a xbox, it will flop and they will have to force themselves to sell cheaper, if it was with ps5 they could at last find some retard to buy it>>721398623This, these Concord level games did an irreparable damage to console industry, but in the end of the day it was worth l guess, valve new console will destroy ps6 and console will stop existing.
>>721392169If you had done that with retro Nintendo consoles you would be richer than Elon.
>>721398870I don't know anon. I don't know much about AMD cards but at $600 I think I'd rather have something like pic related than a new console right now. At least this is portable, I can use it to pay my bills and watch porn, and I don't get charged $100+ every year to use my own internet.I'm a huge consolefag but it's time to admit things have gotten way to Jewish.
>>721394902Ah man, l really wanted to blame Phil, but it is pretty evident that he literally took the worst generation of xbox to deal with.If it wasn't by him xbox wouldn't ever survive to 9 generation>>721391673This>>721397205>The GPU alone will cost just as much as a consoleI can't believe you fell for "l need a 5090 to play games!!"
>>721387279based, fuck waitniggers>heh, you retards, I'll buy it in a couple years when it's half price and comes bundled with 3 games...>W-WHAT!? AIEEEEE NO YOU CAN'T JUST RAISE THE PRICE! NO YOU CAN'T REWARD YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS WHO SUPPORTED YOU EARLY ON! YOU HAVE TO BOW DOWN TO ME!!! NOOOOOOOjust wait another couple years until it's in the bargain bin, broyou love to wait!
>>721397934My sides
>You lived long enough to watch consoles get MORE expensive the further into their lifespan they goI hate the antichristI hate jewsI miss 50 bucks gamecubes on clearance and 100 dollars xbox hueg bundles with 5 games and 2 controllers
>>721400061Remember when you could buy those Vita tv things for less than $20?
>>721399871>t. Shill>>721400061It's over bro, it's PC or nothing, even though that nvidia is full Jewish mode, it's still less fucked over
At some point people gotta realize it isn't the sociopolitical landscape that causes companies to jack up prices and fuck everyone in the ass...right?
>>721400276I'm not buying shit from njudea. I'd rather play GBA emulators on my phone until AMD unfucks itself and gets back to being the king of value.
>>721400198Yeah the PSP Go sold for peanuts on clearance too because nobody wants that shit.Imagine if Sony jacked up the price of the Vita by 100 bucks and made memory cards even more expensive. God damn clown world.
>>721400061>>721400276>"why can't I get my consoles for pennies at the expense of the company!? >:c">complains about jewslmaoyou're the biggest jew of them allimagine if everyone did the same as you, if every player waited years to buy a game when it's in the bargain bin, what would happen to the people making themthis is the reason FOMO tactics exist, you guys created them
>>721388843If only there wasn't some truth to it because everything in the last 5 years is equal or lower quality with less features than before.Just look at the galaxy note 20 ultra. Released 2020 and they've been doing features since but every successive generation has climbed in price by at least 10 percent.It's getting so insane that refurbs from stuff released precovid are costing almost as much as new stuff now.
>>721397934The game
>>721400513>THESE POOR POOR BILLION DOLLAR COUNTRIES, HOW DARE YOU TRY TO SAVE A FEW DOLLARS THEY MAKE THESE CONSOLES FOR CENTS!And sell billions of them. Don't condescend about economics if you know nothing about it.
>>721388843Meant dropping, not doing re: >>721400748
>>721387279360 was the last good xbox.
>>721400903>THEY MAKE THESE CONSOLES FOR CENTSthe snoy corporation was selling $800 PS3s for $500, at launch mind youyou are a retarded nigger if you think hardware is cheap>Don't condescend about economics if you know nothing about it.the fucking irony lmao
>>721401021And it was only good for like half of its lifespan before they started pushing kinect shit
>>721400847You think you're so funny well I just reported you for child porn
>>721400402>until AMD unfucks itself and gets back to being the king of value.If you are expecting them to go back to high end GPU, forget it, they even lose more marketing with later years, they might even leave the GPU market if ngreedia still fucking wife them, even though their CPU market is pretty strong, and their integrated graphics are going fine>>721400513To this logic people who buy games on sales are joos, and beside consoles didn't cost more than 400 dollars in the past, people tolerated consoles because it was affordable and a simple experience compared to PC, but what now?
>>721387279Making a huge assumption I'm ever going to buy any of the newer consoles.
>>721401026If they want me to buy consoles at cost they should let me do what I want with them. I ain't paying 800 bucks for a crippled computer I can only play games in.The walled garden was easier to swallow when they were subsidizing the upfront cost and recouping it later with game sales but if I'm paying full price I might as well get to use it as I please.
>>721401171>people tolerated consoles because it was affordable and a simple experience compared to PCwhat?consoles shat on PCs up to the ps2 erait's why pc games were always shit that looked like thisyou bought a console to play real games, otherwise you coped by playing a "game" (excel spreadshit) on your dad's work computer
>>721401026>800 dollars projected using proprietary tech sony had inflatedNot the same as cost>still acting like you know shit about shit
>>721401447>800 dollars projected using proprietary tech sony had inflatedaha, so the $3 billion they were losing a year from selling the thing was also just inflated numbers, right retard?because sorry to ruin your embarrassing attempt at a gotcha, but the $800 number didn't come from sony's mouth, they never spoke up how expensive it wasit comes from analysis of how much the components actually cost back thencope and rope retard
>>721401418It still was more affordable than what it is today, also the 7th gen have multi titles on PC, and xbox 360 was a success because it affordable.
>>721401648They weren't losing that money a year, they were just missing projected profits. When are you dishonest retards going to actually stop pretending money you don't make is money you lost.Funny you're calling people jews when you're gargling usury balls.
