What went wrong?
>>738498839Nobody's gonna buy the same console twice.
No one can afford video games and the suits are stuck in a "what are the underlings doing WRONG" loop at all the big companies over it due to being out of touch nepo-babies.
>>738498839Just wait for GTA6's release
>>738498839wait4gta
>>738499072We can't keep saying this for 3 years straight snoy bros
>>738498839>Xbox down 33%>Playstation down 43%Consoles are dying
>>738498839No games and what is produced is such low quality cinematic slop or battle royal battlepass games no one wants that even the most casual consumer smells the stink on them before they release. Dev cycles are so long and budgets are so big its nearly impossible to keep the whole thing from going off a cliff resulting in uninspired games running down the list of corporate mandated checkpoints instead of being something anyone wanted to make.
>>738499072>sir, all the AAA games that had more than 10 million spent creating them have been catastrophic financial failures in the last 8 years, and our audience is rapidly aging out of unfocused slop games sold on edginess, what do we->PUMP MORE MONEY AND DEV TIME AND MONEY INTO IT, I WON'T REST UNTIL WE HAVE LOST BILLIONS BEFORE RELEASE
prove itYeah... that's what I thought.
>>738499072
>>738498839Nobody cares about salesIt's the quality of the games that matterAnd Nintendo has nothing but kiddie slop, so I think Sony will be just fine
>>738498839>no exclusive gamelmao
>>738499337the idea that kids aren't interested in GTA is hilarious to me.
>>738499457kids only want to play fortnite and roblox.
>>738499630>kids aren't interested in the game where they driving around shooting people, they rather play the game where they drive around and shoot people but with worse graphics and less tits
>>738499457I learned from my niece her classmates are playing Dude theft wars instead
>>738499457They don't have any exposure, that's why I said the audience that actually know and play GTA is aging out of it.
>>738498839They wanted to be Xbox, but blue, now they're paying the price for it. Nintendo and Valve won.
>>738499715Nigger GTAV released 12 years ago!Gen Alpha hasn't has a GTA in their generation!They don't care
>ruins the world economy in the name of Israel
>>738499790>>738499898You guys stupid? Are these your genuine opinions?
Trump happened
>>738499790>>738499630I have a 14 year old cousin who played GTA and he and his friends are excited for 6.You fuckers are so out of touch.
>>738500015All zoomers, Millenials and BoomersThey lost the youth
>>738499418Ps3 was saved tho sometime between 2009-10
>>738500120it's driving around in expensive cars and shooting people so no not really
>>738498839Everything.
>>738499072GTA5 did barely anything for 360 or PS3 sales because those were already 7 years old at that point. Anybody that wants a PS5-as-a-GTA6 machine already has one.
>>738499072>GTA VI is going to like, save the AAA industry like forever and ever
>>738498839Microsoft shills like Tom Warren are allowed to pretend to be creditable journalists, that's what's gone wrong.
>>738499457The point is that the game would be definitely successful with a normal budget and they keep making it less likely by spending a fortune on it instead.
>>738498839>What went wrong?Spec faggotry. Plain and simple The problem is, most normie "gamers" would never admit it because visuals are more important to them than actual gameplay So it will continue to be one of mosern gaming's big mysteries
>>738500242Gen Alpha are subbed to r/fuckcars, so yeah. You're out of touch.
My gen alpha niece is hunting ebay for collectible DS games for some reason
>>738500459I can't wait for the PS6 and next gen Xbox to completely kill AAA gaming while also killing the PlayStation and Xbox in the process. PCs will cost too much, Steam Machine will be $800 and up, and since normalfags hate handhelds, most gamers will move to Switch 2 and Steam Deck 2 while normalfags won't have anything. the indie and AA boom is going to be huge.
>>738500725Next gen is going to be a more exaggerated version of this gen in that people will refuse to 'upgrade' for a longer period of time and cross-gen games will be the norm for a lot longer (maybe even the entirety of the gen).
>>738500142The turnaround on the PS3 took the slim redesign giving it a $300 price tag down from $600 and beginning to release a consistent stream of exclusives going into the next few years, while Microsoft fucked themselves going all in on Kinect and annihilating the user experience to the point that Sony's anemic online and ass UI ended up being the better of the two by the end of the gen. Both of those are the exact opposite of what Sony is doing now.
>>738500339GTA 6 is going to fuck the AAA industry whether it sells well or not. If it sells well at a high price point, companies are going to try to make that $90-100 price point the norm and fuck themselves over because people are already not buying their games at $70-80.
>>738500725>>738500821I'm truly excited for the coming day when a big game's failure is attributed to being too hardware-greedy. Used to happen in the distant past but it's been a while. People can't upgrade like they used to, so we're overdue for a good old wake up call.
WHERE ARE THE GAMES NIGGATHIS IS THE WORST CONSOLE GENERATION YET WHAT THE FUCK
>>738500891switch has drift, permanent full price games and awful 3rd party because it's weakxbox killed itselfthere is no other console choice.
>>738498839The price went up
>>738501007Next gen is going to be the line in the sand for the average consumer when it comes to pricing for consoles. Sony is in full-hubris mode and it wouldn't surprise me if they go all-in on milking whales and idiots dry at the expense of everyone else.
>>738499019That's me. I will wait to buy a ps6 launch model.
>>738499418But MGS4 did save it
>>738501115Nintendo at least has SOME games under $70 and they still have exclusives. The Switch 2 isn't a good system but it has an actual market niche. Even Microsoft at least has backwards compatibility. Sony has literally nothing, the system's pricing keeps climbing and the biggest games are Fortnite, Roblox, Netflix followed by a black hole where hope and old developers go to die.
>>738499072I don't think Sony can afford how much they'd have to pay Rockstar to keep this a Playstation exclusive.
>>738499019Or once apparently…
