Hardware prices are getting to the point you have to wonder are there even enough people in the world with that kind of disposible income for it to even make sense to produce something like that. Like how big is the market for "dudes who have $3000 to blow on a bigger and vastly more expensive switch/deck"

And then the inevitable "we have no choice but to only offer cloud pc rental subscriptions instead of actual hardware".
>>
>>736863850
the market will stabilize, the one thing about hardware is that it typically lasts 5-10 years which means gamers can withhold upgrading if the prices aren't favorable, it's not critical to have the latest hardware to play games so the demand shouldn't be high given enough time with high prices that should cause discounts with excess product on shelves that need to move to make quarterly earnings reports

They have no game's you can't have a subscription service with 10 game released a year.
Most people can play the 3 games they actually want in 1 month of subscription.

They'd rather sell 0 at 2+k than 5 million at 1k. Because hardware doesn't fall from the sky and prices aren't just going up because they think it's funny, you bug type Pokémon.

For that amount of money you can build something with a 9800x3d + 5070ti + 32gb of cl30 + 2tb gen 5 nvme even with the current fucked up prices. Hell, if you don't go for fancy cases and coolers you can probably get a 5080.

Alright, Magatard.
>>
>>736869287
Different markets man, obviously the PS handheld is going to outsell every PC handheld on the market day one regardless of price and they're competing with the Switch 2, while I agree $500 MSRP is preposterous they need to be about $200 of the Switch 2 to be successful.
I'm thinking Switch 2 will be around $650 by 2027 so PS6 will be about $850 in the US and a cool $1000 elsewhere.

Wild times. Not that long ago having a gaming laptop was considered a luxury and a gaming PC was the poorfag option.
>>
>>736864750
>>736864613
he's not wrong though

mind you, you'd be retarded to buy this shit over a steam deck at this price (no matter how better it turns out to be), but the current consumerist culture shows that these niggers are totally fine with price hiking all the time, even if it takes you personally out of the market pool; does it mean they'll lose money over the decision?
probably not

everyone was shitting on the switch 2 for a while and at the end of the day, they still sold that shit like christmas cake, people are retarded and whining about the companies hiking their prices is stupid when the only reason they're doing it is because it works

What if I've already been withholding 5-10 years??

It feels like this shit will never resolve. In the past you could buy a decent PC for 500-1000 euros. Then 1000 became just the starting price. And currently 1000 will get you NOTHING. It's fucking insane.

$550 for the ram, $900 for the gpu, $400 for the x3d, $250 to $300 for the nvme.
That's $2150 if we count the nvme at $300. You're left with $700 for motherboard + case + cooling since the legion is at $2850.
Definitely doable.

>>736869964
>does it mean they'll lose money over the decision? probably not

actually, having sat in with the types of people who are making these pricing decisions, they absolutely do not give a fuck about finding the right price point for the product. Many of them are too stupid to even understand the (very basic) math involved.

They LITERALLY think "we will make more because the product costs more" and they respond to lagging sales by increasing the price bit by bit to make up for the shortfall, instead of trying to figure out where the actual sweet spot in the price curve is for them.

to put this in super stupid:
They are fucking themselves over and making less money because they are genuinely not a joke that retarded

every company has been enshittified with fucking morons now

I know you're joking but one game I play legit looks dogshit on medium textures and it crashes if it uses anything close to it's 8gb vram because of the mod I'm using. I might upgrade to a 9060 XT 16 GB just because of that.
