there are reasons to buy a ps5. I really like mine because it also plays a bunch of ps4 games I missed. Doesn't mean I support their bullshit decision to quit physical games I just won't buy those. I can't think of a single reason to buy the Switch 2 because it has no games and the Switch 1 library is pretty shit also.
>>

>there are reasons to buy a ps5
There's exactly one reason that passes any scrutiny and that's poverty. Not being able to afford a proper PC is a the only but a very valid reason to buy a goystation.
>>
>>745756671
Some ps4 third parties aren't on PC. But the fact you had to bring up PC proves that the Switch has nothing worth defending.

>But the fact you had to bring up PC proves that the Switch has nothing worth defending.
I took the first sentence of your paragraph, which contains the core argument of your post, and replied to that. I do not own a Switch 2 so I have no reasons to defend it and the Switch 1 is outside the topic of this thread.
>Some ps4 third parties aren't on PC
I talked about the PS5 but the fact you had to bring up PS4 games proves that the PS5 has nothing worth defending by your own standards. Curious.
>>
>>745757265
The first and actually only reason i stated was that the ps5 can play ps4 games. The ps5 itself has almost nothing apart from Astro. But I don't mind that because for a few hundred bucks I get to play a bunch of shit I missed. Which is more than what I can say about Switch 2 which was my actual core argument.

Just remember when you boot up Bloodborne or Gravity Rush 2 that you bought a PS5 to play worse versions of the game.

Wait, was anyone expecting normalfags to care about discs? I thought you were having a laugh.
Pic related probably drew more idiot mong NPCs in than what they lost to the disc shit.

with the current price difference that's a noticable sale difference in favor of the switch 2

>people spend more money on a console that is more expensive
Wow. What a shocker! Now post which console actually sold more units.
>>
>>745756163
Why are people buying either console anyway? Neither has any worthwhile exclusive and are just emulators for their predecesor.
There is no point in buying a ps5 if you're only gonna play ps4 games on it, same with the switch 2, it's only used to play switch 1 games.

>US Dollar sales
Selling 160 PS5s at $900 will, in fact, generate more "US Dollar sales" than selling 300 Switch 2s at $450.

Sony pushed Blu ray from the start then turns around and fucks everyone again. No offline install for you. Enjoy your corporate device that watches you at all times.

If you want to play the same console-game (apart exclusives) experience on a PC you need x10 more money. If you don't use this powerful PC to work or to do local gen ai, you are a sub-human.

Anon, Sony users have been shown to have the highest average income across the Big 4. It's probably why Sony doesn't mind dropping discs. They aren't the poor man hardware. PC is.

$2000 is enough but I can imagine spending any kind of four digit amount of money on a hobby is inconceivable if you live in a south american favela.

Soccer ball and gun gamers specifically are the highest average earners. Go figure. Nomies have jobs, disposable income, Playstations, and FIFA. PC is the de facto peasant choice. I don't know why so much of /v/ denies this when they spend half their time crying about unemployment and begging for cracks.

>We surveyed 1,001 Americans to explore the impact of playing video games as a child. Of the respondents, 40% were parents. We also scraped the top 1,000 posts and comments from 34 popular video game and console subreddits to explore which were the most positive (using sentiment analysis) and which used the most unique words.

All their research proves is that Playstation players are more likely to lie about their income

Lol, lmao they needed to invent a new metric to "beat" the Switch. "Yes we sell far fewer units, but our units cost an arm and a leg so in terms of gross revenue made it's more".
>>
>>745762215
I'm explicitly showing you a study that reveals PC players are, by and large, extremely poor, which is additionally supported by the behavior and begging of PC enthusiasts seen on /v/. Meanwhile, regular people with jobs don't mind buying game consoles, the majority winners being Nintendo and Playstation, while giving little to zero consideration about PC. And as you're currently demonstrating, PC poors will never EVER stop seething about Playstation for some inexplicable reason.

Careful, if you hurt Sony's feelings they'll add a few 100,000 to the PS2 lifetime sales.

I'm not a console-wars fag. I just don't get it. I'm not saying any one console is superior. Just that PS5 is really not offering anything to keep it at the top of the sales charts. Why are people buying these things? I mean, at list the switch has a pretty steady stream of exclusives. so I can kind get that (though still don't see the appeal of switch 2 over the 1st one to warrant the expense).

Sony actively lies about sales and has for years, pay attention next time something gets close to the PS2's lifetime sales

It's the cheapest home console that plays the latest AAA slop. That's enough and always has been.

So revenue?

yes and almost definitely still less profit than Nintendo
