>who the FUCK is still buying PS5s at this point?
Switch 1 and 2 don't exactly serve the same niche as the PS5. The PS5 is still the option for those who want "top-of-the-line" games running in their living room 77''-4K television or something like that.

PS5 has a good price point, not everyone wants to spend $1000 just to play video games with satisfactory performance. It's also very streamlined and convenient, you always have to troubleshoot shit going wrong on the PC. And don't like it doesn't happen.

kids buy it because they friends have it
wagies buy it because it literally just works, games come optimized so you don't have to mess with settings, ps1-ps2 games, timed exclusivity on upcoming hits
generally it's a decent package for its price and it runs and will run games that the Nintendo Tablet 2 won't run
if you don't already have a powerful pc (most people don't, contrary to what r/fatpclardrace says) then you simply get more for your money by going with ps
especially if you are not a manchild pedophile stunted in development that finds jumping on mushrooms fun
it's not magic, people buy a product if it's good

Yeah, this is bad. Nintendo's 2026 lineuo is fire emblem abd other niche shit like Yoshi's Mystery Book. Those have to compete with GTA 6 and who knows what else. So if its falling short already in the month people buy the most stuff...
I just don't see Switch 2's success being longterm
>>
>>729072616
Vgshartz numbers are estimations based on Spain sales.
And even if you take it seriously they've already dropped PS5 sales below 2m because in UK PS5 sold 40% less than their estimation.

-you can put a PC under the TV
-a $2000 pc isnt even in the same generation performance wise so thats a nonsensical comparison
-console gaming adds up to being way more expensive thanks to the lack of deals and hidden costs like jewish peripherals that break all the time while third party options get locked out with DRM and retard fees like paid online

The PlayStation round up says otherwise given how many owners regret their purchase due to its lack of games.

We're in 2025 anon, every game is playable on every system nowadays with the exception of some poorly made ones as for timed exclusivity, haven't you noticed that more and more developers aren't doing that anymore? Even Capcom went full day one multiplat with a game like monster hunter.
>why invest in expensive AAA exclusives if that shit doesn't make money like a free to play live service game?
Because they make more money in the long term than a live service game obviously. Especially if you don't own said live service game.
>it was never a standard
Oh it was pretty much the standard until about gen 5 when Sony lowered the bar for everyone, then came gen 6 and again it was Sony lagging behind with a console that couldn't handle it.
Then with gen 7 onwards they pushed the idea that it was okay because it was more cinematic.
>from scratch? straight up lie
Nope, hell it was even easier this year up until the ram shortage happened.

>We're in 2025 anon
exactly
>every game is playable on every system nowadays
and yet the most anticipated hit of the decade, gta6, won't be available anywhere, that's the whole point
>Because they make more money
no they don't
every publisher wants a second fortnite, it took two months to make the battle royale mode and it make 9 billions in the first two years, investors are ready to gamble with 20 concords if they have a shot at getting a similar success, you are delusional if you think otherwise
AAA games that take 10 years to make don't sell shit in comparison and they get absolutely dwarfed by mobile gacha games, not to mention how nobody gives a shit about the long term, video games are a product designed to be consumed at release, not 10 years later, investors demand instant returns
>Oh it was pretty much the standard until about gen 5 when Sony lowered the bar for everyone
whatever
>then came gen 6 and again it was Sony lagging behind with a console that couldn't handle it.
nobody cares
>Then with gen 7 onwards they pushed the idea that it was okay because it was more cinematic.
and they were absolutely correct because 20 years later everyone is still playing those games, right
>Nope, hell it was even easier this year up until the ram shortage happened.

>What's the point of having a PC if all its current games run on console as well
............................ wut? there's like 100,000 games on PC that you won't find on console. Including all the ones that the puritans at Sony think are too 'mature' for their children's toy. "A BIKINI!?!!! On MY console!?!!!! OH HELL NO!"
>>
>>729078898
And all 100,000 of those games are so ancient, they could run on a five-year-old Android phone via Winlator. No one's buying new hardware for those.

The problem is that it's not just reddit and 4chan is it. It's the entire Internet and most PlayStation owners that aren't hardcore cultists.
Come to think of it I don't think I've seen a thread about the 2025 round up beyond how the world was realising how bad the ps5 is.
>and yet the most anticipated hit of the decade, gta6, won't be available anywhere, that's the whole point
Yeah, because it's being constantly delayed also don't hedge your bets on GTA saving the ps5. I take it you're looking at 5 numbers and are rubbing your hands going
>yes yes soon the ps5 will rise and my Yiddish overlords will rule the industry!
But the reality is that GTA 5 took forever to sell what it did across what, 10 platforms while also giving away that dumb in game currency worth more than the game was itself.
They're not going to launch 6 game at 20 bucks and sell it with 30 dollars or currency you know.
>no they don't
Yes, yes they do. Just because you ignored the part where it said "long term" doesn't mean it wasn't said. At the end of the day f2p games are a gamble with very few making the money you they all make and it can wax and wane depending on any new content. Actual games on the other hand make consistent profits and you're also not obligated to update the game every month or risk losing players like a f2p game.
By the by, why do you think nintendo has such high profit margins compared to Sony?
>nobody cares
Except for you who's clearly annoyed because you didn't know that and don't want to accept Sony's negative impact.
>and they were absolutely correct because 20 years later everyone is still playing those games, right
Which they aren't. Games like tlou and GoW came and went with no one looking back
>more delusions, whatever
Cry about it as much as you want but it was true. The ps5 isn't a strong system.

PS4 was only 3 years old at the time. PS5 is 5. Also, Switch consoles were down 10% from last November and that was the Switch 1's worse November. And yes, that is Switch 1 and 2 being down compared to just the Switch 1 last year. So it could be anywhere from 400-500K while Switch in 2017 sold 775K. There is a reason you started to see a bunch of discounts on the system and still do.
>>
>>729083573
Its taking longer for people to transition from the PS4 though so the age doesn't really matter. Switch 1 got a price increase and no deals so I dont see why anyone would buy one in November and the Switch 2 had no deals until Cyber Monday in December
>>
>>729083573
It's also worth a reminder that the reason Amazon was cut off from preorders for launch Switch 2 consoles/games/first-party accessories and still didn't have anything to sell until a couple months after launch was because Nintendo got pissy at them having third-party sellers offering Nintendo stuff for prices below MSRP. So the fact that big retailers felt the need to enact their own discounts on the Switch 2 anyway, less than half a year after release, is extremely telling.
>>
>>729084354
>because Nintendo got pissy at them having third-party sellers offering Nintendo stuff for prices below MSRP.
Actually it's because the source for game leaks is always Amazon.

The price increase is intentionally set in place to force retarded Ninpedos to buy the 2.

Learn to count, Snoy. November 2017 was PS4’s 4th birthday. PS4 was also ahead of Switch in November 2018 (PS4’s 5th year, so you don’t tire yourself out) thanks to bargain bin discounts (like PS5 this year)

Also, Switch consoles were down 10% from last November and that was the Switch 1's worse November.
