No one buys it. That's why these games go on sale for $50 just two months after release. I remember back in the 360 era, games would stay at $60 and used copies would only be $5 or $10 cheaper for like, 6 months or longer before they'd start actually getting sales or the used price would be significantly cheaper. The effective price of video games essentially went down, not up, because a very small percentage of people actually buy $70 games. They get the few paypigs in the first couple months after release, then drop it to what people actually will pay.

MS successfully baited Sony into making a physical console. Phil is going to rugpull and leave Xbox with nothing but the third-party branded stuff, Nintendo is going to ride the Switch 2 until 2034 and it will only be Sony with a traditional console on the shelves for the next decade. It will get PC ports that run worse than on a PC and 10 re-N-releases of Horizon/TLOU/and a Chinese copy of these games. Xbox gets closed and personnel rolled inot MS corporate, SIE gets spun off and goes bankrupt, Nintendo releases BotW 10 Year Anniversary and sells 20 million copies.

Switch 2 isn't a flop but it's already starting to lose momentum considerably outside of Japan. Almost like the early record-breaking buyership was overwhelmingly driven by FOMO and fanboyism, and not a sign of longterm general interest (like I've been saying for fucking months).

Switch 2 had such good supply on launch that scalpers could buy to their hearts content and load up thinking that there'd be a shortage just like everything else this past half decade. Now that the dust has settled though, the demand just clearly isn't there. Shelves are stocked, no one's making money on eBay, i guess I wouldn't call it a flop but it's also not a hit.

Too many of those companies have reached a point of critical mass. Especially the western ones. Only a tiny fraction of the company do any of the real work and deserve any of the real pay anyway. Much of the staff (especially the nepo-babies, women and diversity hires) is redundant bloat. To pay them what they are worth would mean a salary of $0.00

Nintendo needs to revise the Switch 2 to cost $100 less. This could be as simple as removing the dock and charger or making a Lite or TV model. Otherwise Nintendo needs to go third party.

I like how people cite the absurdity of how brand new new video games also used to be priced high. As if that justifies anything. Okay, we circumvented that shit at every opportunity too. We purchased only our absolute favorites. Shared with neighborhood friends. Rented. Stole like little hood rats.
Now they want to say "uhh, these prices haven't changed much". Yeah, because the value was never set properly to begin with. The industry always just assumed they could get away with taking advantage of media consumers because they the market is full of retards (which it is).

>>728790709
It still technically is but that's because they shipped out a metric fuck ton of units early on. Switch 2 will fall behind the Switch 1 in the US sometime next year when Switch 1's holiday numbers kick it (they launched at different times of the year so it we're comparing Switch 2 to Switch 1 in like Sep 2017). It seems like Switch 2 did between 400K-500K while Switch 1 did 775K. December will probably be worse.
>>
>>728790709
Sure, IF you compare it at launch. The switch 1 launched with Breath of the Wild and got Mario Odyssey shortly afterward. They also didn't make that many since the WiiU was such a flop. It was genuinely kind of hard to get a hold of one.
Today walk into any best buy or Walmart in the country right now and find a Switch 2 in a dusty box to buy. It's just not the same.

I'd like for that to happen but I get the feeling people will buy a PlayStation just because there's a new one just like they did for PS5. I think we're in the phase of video games where as long as there IS a new PlayStation/Nintendo console available to buy, there's enough people in the world to keep buying them to keep things going.

I would really like to see a major shift, but I just don't think it's gonna happen. Sony could release the PS6 tomorrow and it would sell like crazy because it's just the new thing. There are far too many people in the world who just want to own a new console rather than caring about playing a lot of video games on that console.

This is what happens when Nintendo doesn't have a big game to move units. They think that Mario Kart is that thing, because of how many people bought 7 and 8/Deluxe. But it is a filler game. It is what people play when there is nothing else coming out that catches their interest and as we have already seen, once people realized that World moved away from what they liked about Mario Kart, they went back to 8. Switch 2 doesn't have a BIG game yet, it has nothing going for it. Just ports of Switch 1 games, which just shows that Nintendo sat on Switch 1 too long. Imagine if Switch 2 had come out two years ago. It would have not only had TotK, but big RPGs like Xenoblade X DE. Instead we have gotten a big nothing. Prime 4 flopped, DK had a decent start, but 30 dollar DLC has killed all discussion. It seems like Nintendo doesn't actually know what to do with their franchises anymore and has resorted to making things as generic as possible, hoping to pull in whatever bites. I imagine the next twenty years for them will become nothing but Mario and Pokemon, since those seem to be the only consistent franchises to pull in money. Even Zelda has been off and on with regards to sales. They go back to pre BotW/TotK and they can't guarantee selling 4 million, let alone the 20 million those games got.

>>728799104
>Prime 4 flopped
Prime 4 was always going to flop. Metroid is may as well be the Arkane games of Nintendo, the outliers like Dread and Metroid Prime 1. If we're being honest, Nintendo developing that game and keeping it alive was a mistake, it should've been announced as cancelled, closed down and Prime should've just had another game/title, or even a reboot.
Another reason why the industry sucks is because project managers are swapped out or executive producers are fucking stupid and too passionate to notice when its time to pull the plug

8DX was mostly a bundleslave game for Switch 1. It's gotten to the point where Mario Kart isn't a system seller for Nintendo hardware anymore, but rather that Nintendo hardware is a Mario Kart seller.

Good. It's been liquid shit since the 7th gen and the popularization of it among normalfags has given us nothing but lower quality of games, lower quality of community, more dogshit monetization practices...pretty much everything has just gotten worse.

Here's hoping it crashes and normalniggers leave the hobby with it.

Maybe for AAA publishers that are too brain dead to scale down.
However there's no longer space for so many consoles + PC, at least ONE of them will have to die over the next few years, this is non negotiable.
We are entering a deathmatch and whoever loses gets buried.

People don’t talk enough about how Xbots killed gaming. Every shit practice started with the 360, paying money to use your own internet connection, DLC, endless trash shooters and sequels, forcing every company to turn online chat into kindergarten playgrounds because fags couldn’t stop screaming slurs and they didn’t want bad press or to drive away potential customers, Dorito Pope mountain Dew game awards, ubislop, the console itself having a fucking 66% failure rate, it goes on and on.

Every company saw what Microsoft could get away with and the copied their anti-consumer practices. Why wouldn’t they if the customers are THAT fucking retarded?

We're at the point in the current generation where everyone who wants one of those consoles you mentioned already has them.

These are retarded, distorted statistics designed for clickbaiters and outrage farmers (like OP).
Of course hardware sales are low, the only """new""" hardware that has come out recently for either PC or consoles is the Switch 2 which is really more of a Switch 1.5 or a "PS5 Pro" situation, let's be honest.
No 50 series SUPER cards for PC users yet, so yeah, I'd say this is a very natural "nadir" and the entire design of this news is distorted.

I knew that something was up when Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 underperformed this year.

We're in the first holiday season, too. Imagine how bad shit's about to fall off come January-February. And then remember that they're going to prioritize shilling the Mario Galaxy movie at the start of the new year (including doing more in the February Direct most likely). I fucking called this for years, that Furukawa was just coasting off the Switch's already-established success and then shit his pants when it came time to launch a new console under his tenure, just like Jim Ryan did at Playstation with the PS4's pre-established success.

I don't think most people realize just how badly the February Direct needs to step up to the plate. Especially not after Prime 4 ended up being a disappointing plate of overcooked leftovers after spending so long in the making.
